Note:
The driver is ultimately
responsible for the safe operation of
the vehicle, and therefore, must
evaluate whether it is safe to follow
the suggested directions. Any
navigation features are provided only
as an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic
regulations. Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in
an unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you
would be placed in an unsafe situation,
or if you would be directed into an area
that you consider unsafe. Maps used
by this system may be inaccurate
because of errors, changes in roads,
traffic conditions or driving conditions.
Note: When you connect, the service
uses GPS technology and advanced
vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle's
current location, travel direction and
speed to help provide you with the
directions, traffic reports, or business
searches you request. Further, to
provide the services you request and
for continuous improvement, the
service may collect and record call
details and voice communications. For
more information, see SYNC Services
Terms and Conditions at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. If you do not
want Ford or its service providers to
collect the vehicle travel information
or other information identified in the
Terms and Conditions, do not activate
or use the service. SYNC Services uses advanced vehicle
sensors, integrated GPS technology
and comprehensive map and traffic
data, to give you personalized traffic
reports, precise turn-by-turn
