luggage to your vehicle, do not

authorized dealer for specific

theft alarms. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should
comply with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized
dealer.
• Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your
vehicle, particularly if their
manufacturer did not design them
specifically for automotive use. • To avoid interference with other
vehicle functions, for example
anti-lock brake systems, do not
locate amateur radio antennas in
the area of the driver side hood.
• If you or an authorized Lincoln dealer add any non-Lincoln
custom electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and
durability. In addition, you may also
adversely affect the performance
of other electrical systems in the
vehicle.

To turn a feature on and off, just touch
the graphic with your finger. To get the
best performance from the
touch-sensitive controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic
may affect operation of a nearby
control.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are
wearing gloves.
• Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of
the touchscreen as this may cause
electronic interference (for
example, inadvertently turning on
a feature other than the one you
meant to turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
• Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
• VOL: Control the volume of
playing media.
• Fan: Control the speed of the climate system fan.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.

Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that links to that
cellular phone. This profile helps in
offering you more cellular features
and operating 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
your vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
your vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
your vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to your 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
