LINCOLN MKZ 2015 Owners Manual

To make sure that 911 Assist works properly:
•
SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on
prior to the incident.
• You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone
to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time of
the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network coverage,
battery power and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery power and
be located in the United States, Canada
or in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number. In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate
the fuel pump shut-off (which would trigger
911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to contact
emergency services if 911 Assist triggers. If
a connected phone sustains damage or loses
connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and
tries to connect to, any available previously
paired phone and tries to make the call to
911.
Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call. If
you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts
to dial 911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call 911,
to cancel the call, press Cancel on your
screen or press and hold the phone
button on your steering wheel." If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and then
the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location
immediately, because not all 911 systems are
capable of receiving this information
electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC system
has no power.
• The phones(s) previously paired or
connected to the system are thrown from
the vehicle.
911 Assist Privacy Notice
When you turn on 911 Assist, it may disclose
to emergency services that your vehicle has
been in a crash involving the deployment of
an airbag or activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of electronically
438
MKZ (), enUSA MyLincoln Touch™

or verbally disclosing to 911 operators your
vehicle location or other details about your
vehicle or crash to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this
information, do not turn the feature on.
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.

specific mileage intervals. Cellular phone
airtime usage may apply when reporting.
The system allows you to check your
vehicle

diagnostic report card. The Vehicle Health
Report contains valuable information, such
as:
• Vehicle diagnostic information
