Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.
We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the
use of any hand-held device while driving
and encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while
driving.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the system. Have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer.
• Do not operate media devices if the power cables are broken or damaged.
• Make sure the power cables do not interfere with the safe operation of your
vehicle's controls or affect your safe
driving abilities.
• Some SYNC functions are speed-dependent. Their use is limited to
when your vehicle is traveling at speeds
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device's
manual before using it with SYNC.Speed-restricted Features

Privacy Information
When you connect a cell phone to SYNC,
the system creates a profile within your
vehicle that links to that cell phone. This
profile helps in offering you more cellular
features and operating more efficiently.
Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cell 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 your
cell phone or media player is connected. If
you no longer plan to use the system or your
vehicle, we recommend you carry out 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 without 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®,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic, Directions
and Information.
Using Voice Commands
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status bar
indicating the status of the voice command
session (such as Listening, Success, Failed,
Paused or Try Again).

Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing the voice command icon, wait until after the tone sounds and a
message appears before saying a voice
command. Any voice command spoken
prior to this does not register with the
system. • Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by pressing the voice
command icon.
