Voice command issues
Possible solution
Possible cause
Issue
SYNC 3 applies the phonetic pronunciation rules of the selected
language to the names stored on your media player or USB flash
drive. It is able to make some exceptions for very popular artist names
(for example, U2) such that you can always use the English pronunci-
ation for these artists.
You may be saying the foreign names
using the currently selected language for
SYNC 3.
The SYNC 3 voice control
system is having trouble
recognizing foreign tracks,
artists, albums, genres and
playlist names from my
media player or USB flash
drive.
SYNC 3 uses a synthetically generated voice rather than pre-recorded
human voice.
SYNC 3 uses text-to-speech voice prompt
technology.
The system generates
voice prompts and the
pronunciation of some
words may not be accurate
for my language. SYNC 3 offers several new voice control features for a wide range of
languages. Dialing a contact name directly from the phonebook
without pre-recording (for example, “call John Smith
”) or selecting a
track, artist, album, genre or playlist directly from your media player
(for example, "play artist Madonna").

General
Possible solution
Possible cause
Issue
SYNC 3 only supports four languages in a single module for text
display, voice control and voice prompts. The country where you
bought your vehicle dictates the four languages based on the most
popular languages spoken. If the selected language is not available,
SYNC 3 remains in the current active language.
SYNC 3 does not support the currently
selected language for the instrument
cluster and information and entertainment
display.
The language selected for
the instrument cluster and
information and entertain-
ment display does not
match the SYNC 3
language (phone, USB,
Bluetooth audio, voice
control and voice prompts).
SYNC 3 offers several new voice control features for a wide range of
languages. Dialing a contact name directly from the phonebook
without pre-recording (for example, “call John Smith
”) or selecting a
track, artist, album, genre or playlist directly from your media player
(for example, "play artist Madonna"). SYNC 3 System Reset
The system has a System Reset feature that can be performed if the function of a SYNC 3 feature is lost. This reset is intended to restore
functionality and will not erase any information previously stored in th\
e system (such as paired devices, phonebook, call history , text
messages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset, press and hold the Seek Up (>>) button while pressing and holdin\
g the Radio Power
button. After approximately 5 seconds the screen will go black. Allow 1-2 minutes for the s\
ystem reset to complete. You may then resume
using the SYNC 3 system.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when you
sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.
We have established regular maintenance
intervals for your vehicle based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you have
your vehicle serviced at the proper times.
These intervals serve two purposes; one is
to maintain the reliability of your vehicle and
the second is to keep your cost of owning
your vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to have all scheduled
maintenance performed and to make sure
that the materials used meet the
specifications identified in this owner's
manual. See Capacities and Specifications
(page 354).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Factory-Trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the operation
of your vehicle. Ask your dealership about
the training and certification their technicians
have received.
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft® Replacement
Parts
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed at
your dealership carry a nationwide 24-month
or unlimited mile (kilometer) parts and labor
limited warranty.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part, it could affect
emissions compliance.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one stop
shopping. They can perform any services
that are required on your vehicle, from
general maintenance to collision repairs.
Note:
Not all dealers have extended hours
or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved reliability,
durability and resale value. To maintain the
proper performance of your vehicle and its
emission control systems, make sure you
have scheduled maintenance performed at
the designated intervals.
