Vehicle Health Report (If Equipped)
WARNING
Always follow scheduled maintenance
instructions, regularly inspect your
vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Report
supplements, but cannot replace, normal
maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle
Health Report only monitors certain systems
electronically monitored by your vehicle and
will not monitor or report the status of any
other system, (such as brake lining wear).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may result
in vehicle damage and serious injury. Note:
This feature is only available in the
United States. Note:
Your Vehicle Health Report feature
requires activation prior to use. Visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com to register. There is
no fee or subscription associated with
Vehicle Health Report, but you must register
to use this feature.
Note: This feature may not function properly
if you have enabled caller ID blocking on
your cellular phone. Before running a report,
review the Vehicle Health Report Privacy
Notice.
Note: In order to allow a break-in period for
your vehicle, you may not be able to create
a Vehicle Health Report until your vehicle
odometer has reached 200 miles.
Note: Cellular phone and SMS charges may
apply when making a report. Register for Vehicle Health Report and set
your report preferences at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. After registering,
you can request a Vehicle Health Report
(inside your vehicle). Return to your account
at www.SYNCMyRide.com to view your
report. You can also choose for SYNC to
remind you automatically to run reports at
specific mileage intervals. Cellular phone
airtime usage may apply when reporting.
The system allows you to check your
vehicle
’s overall health in the form of a
diagnostic report card. The Vehicle Health
Report contains valuable information, such
as:
• Vehicle diagnostic information
• Scheduled maintenance
• Open recalls and Field Service Actions
• Items noted during vehicle inspections
by your authorized dealer that still need
servicing.

Read and follow instructions: Before using
your Windows Automotive- based system,
read and follow all instructions and safety
information provided in this end user manual
("User's Guide"). Not following precautions
found in this User's Guide can lead to an
accident or other serious consequences.
Keep User's Guide in vehicle: When kept in
the vehicle, the User's Guide will be a ready
reference for you and other users unfamiliar
with the Windows Automotive-based system.
Please make certain that before using the
system for the first time, all persons have
access to the User's Guide and read its
instructions and safety information carefully. WARNING
Operating certain parts of this system
while driving can distract your attention
away from the road, and possibly cause an
accident or other serious consequences. Do
not change system settings or enter data
non-verbally (using your hands) while driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations. This is
important since while setting up or changing
some functions you might be required to
distract your attention away from the road
and remove your hands from the wheel. General Operation
Voice Command Control:
Functions within
the Windows Automotive-based system may
be accomplished using only voice
commands. Using voice commands while
driving allows you to operate the system
without removing your hands from the wheel. Prolonged Views of Screen: Do not access
any function requiring a prolonged view of
the screen while you are driving. Pull over in
a safe and legal manner before attempting
to access a function of the system requiring
prolonged attention. Even occasional short
scans to the screen may be hazardous if your
attention has been diverted away from your
driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting:
Do not raise the volume
excessively. Keep the volume at a level
where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving
while unable to hear these sounds could
cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions:
Speech recognition software is inherently a
statistical process which is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor any speech
recognition functions included in the system
and address any errors.
