HOW DOES 911 ASSIST WORK
If a crash deploys an airbag, excluding knee
airbags and rear inflatable seatbelts, or
activates the fuel pump shut-off, your vehicle
may be able to contact emergency services
by dialing 911 through a paired and
connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.
Not all crashes will deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off. If a
connected cell phone sustains damage or
loses its connection to SYNC during a crash,
SYNC will search for and try to connect to a
previously paired cell phone. SYNC will then
attempt to call the emergency services.
Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides 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. The occupants in
your vehicle are 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.
During an emergency call the system
transmits vehicle data to the emergency
service.
EMERGENCY CALL
REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist
to make an emergency call if you can do
it yourself. Dial emergency services
immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional. WARNING: Always place your phone
in a secure location in your vehicle so it
does not become a projectile or get
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury to someone or
damage the phone which could prevent
911 Assist from working properly. WARNING: Unless the 911 Assist
setting is set on before a crash, the system
will not dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.
• 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
before the incident.
• You must pair and connect a Bluetooth
enabled and compatible cell 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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys can be
activated with these restricted modes.
Any keys that remain unprogrammed are
referred to as administrator keys or admin
keys. They can be used to:
•
Create a MyKey.
• Program configurable MyKey settings.
• Clear all MyKey features.
When you have created a MyKey, you can
access the following information by using
the information display to determine:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle traveled
with a MyKey.
Note: Switch the vehicle on to use the
system.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually. Note:
For vehicles with push-button start,
when both a MyKey and an admin key are
present, the vehicle will recognize the admin
key when you switch the vehicle on.
Non-Configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
• Seatbelt reminder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will mute
when the driver and front-seat passenger
seatbelts are not fastened.
• Early low fuel or charge. The low-fuel or
low charge warning activates earlier,
giving the MyKey user more time to refuel
or recharge.
• Restricted touchscreen operation in some
markets. For example, MyKey may
prevent manual navigation destination
input when the vehicle is in any gear
other than park (P), or when the vehicle
reaches a certain rate of speed.
• Satellite radio adult content restrictions,
if available on your vehicle. Note:
If a phone is connected using Apple
CarPlay or Android Auto when driving with
a MyKey, the driver can receive phone calls
and text messages even if the do not disturb
restriction is on. If the vehicle comes with
satellite radio, the adult content is not
restricted.
Note: The audio system may not mute with
a basic AM/FM radio.
Note: You may be able to turn the lane
departure warning feature off, but the
feature will automatically re-activate with
every new key cycle.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure certain
MyKey settings when you first create a
MyKey and before you restart the vehicle.
You can also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.
Note: Available vehicle features will appear
in your information display, providing you
with choices to switch them on or off, or to
select a more specific setting.

LIFTGATE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death. WARNING: Make sure that you fully
close the liftgate to prevent exhaust fumes
from entering your vehicle. If you are
unable to fully close the liftgate, open the
air vents or the windows to allow fresh air
to enter your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. WARNING:
Keep keys out of reach
of children. Do not allow children to
operate or play near an open or moving
power liftgate. You should supervise the
operation of the power liftgate at all times.
OPENING THE LIFTGATE
Opening the Liftgate From Inside Your
Vehicle With the transmission in park (P),
press the button on the instrument
panel.
Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.
Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components. Opening the Liftgate From Outside
Your Vehicle
1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote
control or power door unlock control. If
a passive key is within
3 ft (1 m) of the
liftgate, the liftgate unlocks when you
press the liftgate release button. 2. Press and release the liftgate control
button.

FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Sitting improperly, out of
position or with the seatback reclined too
far can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor. WARNING: Do not recline the seat
backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event of
a crash. WARNING:
Do not place objects
higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death in the event of
a sudden stop or crash. WARNING:
Do not adjust the driver
seat or seat backrest when your vehicle is
moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control of
your vehicle.
SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION When you use them properly, the seat, head
restraint, seatbelt and airbags will provide
optimum protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees from
the upright position.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head and
as far forward as possible. Make sure that
you remain comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of
10 in (25 cm)
between your breastbone and the airbag
cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
