Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to
that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more
cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this
profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages
(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your
cell phone was not connected to the
system. In addition, if you connect a
media device, the system creates and
retains an index of supported media
content. The system also records a
short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and
other system data may be used to
improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may
occur.
The cellular profile, media device
index, and development log remain in
the vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to the vehicle's SYNC module. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada
do not access the system data for any
purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or
where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other
third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to
access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911
Assist® (if equipped), Vehicle Health
Report (if equipped), and Traffic,
Directions and Information (if
equipped).

HD Radio ™ Information (If
Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal-clear audio and no
static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available
stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com. When this feature is enabled and you
are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice
the following indicators on your
screen:
The HD Radio logo blinks when a
digital station is being acquired and is
solid when digital audio is playing.
When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen .

MyLincoln Touch
™E142616

The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The numbers that are
highlighted signify available digital
channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the
main programming status and is
available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2 through HD7) are only
broadcast digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG
button is available (provided the
feature has been turned on). To use
the tag feature:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TAG Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG. 3. The system automatically saves
the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when it is
connected to the system. If your
music player is connected at the
time, the system automatically
transfers the tag to your player and
a pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes® with your portable music player, the
tags appear to you as a reminder.
The system allows you to tag up
to approximately 100 songs. For a
list of devices that support tagging,
refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions: You Can

activated, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the

hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute, then the sound returns signi-
fying it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again
acquire the digital signal. As with any saved radio
station, you cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station's reception area.
