VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT (IF EQUIPPED, U.S. ONLY)
WARNING:Always follow scheduled maintenance instructions,
regularly inspect your vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Reports supplements, but cannot
replace normal maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle Health
Report only monitors those systems that are electronically monitored
by the vehicle and will not monitor or report the status of any other
system, (i.e., brake lining wear). Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance and regularly inspect your vehicle may result in vehicle
damage and serious injury.
SYNC allows you to check your vehicle’s overall ‘health’ in the form of
diagnostic report card. The vehicle health report contains valuable
information such as:
• Vehicle diagnostic information
• Scheduled maintenance
• Field service actions
• Unserviced items from vehicle inspections by your authorized dealer
You can choose to run a report at any time and have the results sent to
your e-mail. You can also choose for SYNC to run reports at specific
mileage intervals aligned with your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance
intervals. Go to www.SyncMyRide.com to set up your Vehicle Health
Report profile and for more information on the availability of this
application in your market. Cell phone airtime usage may apply when
reporting. To access and run a report:

911 ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
For 911 Assist to function properly, the vehicle must have battery
power after the crash, the cell phone must be previously paired,
connected to SYNC, and continue to function properly, and the
911 Assist feature must be previously activated.

WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist to initiate an emergency
call if you are capable 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 5 seconds after the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.
The cell phone or 911 Assist hardware may become damaged in a
crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may
be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation.
Additionally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel
pump shut-off, which are the criteria to initiate 911 Assist.
WARNING: Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in
the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from functioning
properly.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, SYNC is designed to assist
occupants in attempting to contact emergency services by dialing 911
through the occupant’s paired and connected Bluetoothenabled cellular
phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is damaged or loses
connection to SYNC, SYNC will search for and connect to any available,
previously paired cell phone and continue to place the call to 911. Before
initiating the call, SYNC provides a 10 second window that allows the
driver or passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and
holding
on the steering wheel controls or on the audio system.
Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC will say the
following or a similar message:
“A crash has occurred. SYNC will attempt to place a call to 911. To
cancel, press and hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator. The
pre-recorded message will be similar to the following example:
“A vehicle crash has been detected that has deployed an airbag or
activated the fuel pump shut-off in a SYNC equipped vehicle. Please send
assistance. You are now connected with the vehicle occupants.”

Note:Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note: When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
The following steps are required for the 911 Assist feature to perform
properly:
• SYNC is on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• SYNC 911 Assist feature is set to ON prior to the incident.
• ABluetooth enabled cellular phone is paired and connected to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetoothenabled cellular phone has the ability to make
an outgoing call at the time of the incident.
• The vehicle is located in the U.S. or Canada or in a territory in which
911 is the emergency number.
WARNING: Unless 911 Assist is previously configured to ON
prior to a crash, 911 Assist will not dial for help during an
emergency, which could delay response time, increasing the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash.
The 911 Assist feature is initially set to OFF. The connected phone must
be set as the primary phone in order to change the setting. To access the
setting:
1. Press
to enter PHONE MENU.
2. Scroll repeatedly until 911 ASSIST appears in the radio display.
3. Press OK to confirm and enter the 911 ASSIST menu.
Note: Before activating, 911 Assist will disclose to emergency
services that the vehicle has been in a crash involving the
deployment of an airbag or the activation of the fuel pump
shut-off and 911 Assist will be active for any paired and
connected cell phone. If you do not want to disclose this
information, do not activate the feature.
4. Press
orto toggle between ON/OFF.
5. Press OK when the desired option appears in the radio display. SET
ON or SET OFF will appear in the radio display as a confirmation.

VOICE COMMANDS IN MEDIA MODE
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using cell phones, even with voice
commands. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of
their vehicle. Only use media and other devices not essential to the
driving task when it is safe to do so.
Voice commands when using the USB port
When using the USB port, you may say any of the following
commands: • Play all •Play
• Pause •What’s playing?
• Connections •Play next track
• Play previous track •Play next folder
2
• Similar music •Play previous folder2
• Autoplay on •Autoplay off
• Repeat off •Repeat on

• Play album •Play artist 1

Voice commands are not available until indexing is complete.2Voice commands only available in folder mode. For more information,
refer to Exploring the USB device later in this chapter.
Note: In the above possible commands, “”is a dynamic listing in
that it could be the name of any desired group, artist, etc.
Autoplay: With this feature ON, SYNC allows you to listen to music
which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process.
With this feature OFF, SYNC will not begin to play any of your music
until all media has all been indexed.
Note: The larger the number of songs the system has to index, the
longer indexing will take. Indexing times can vary from device to device.

Search/Play Genre:You can search for and play a specific genre (type)
of music. SYNC will search all the data from your indexed music and, if
available, will begin to play that type of music.
Note: You can only play genres of music which are present in the
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.
Similar music: You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what
you are currently playing from the USB port. SYNC will use the metadata
information of each indexed song to compile a playlist for you.
Search/play artist/track/album: You can search for a specific
artist/track or album from the music SYNC has indexed through the USB
port.
Refine: This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For
example, if you told SYNC to search and play all music by a certain
artist, you could then tell SYNC to “refine album” and choose a specific
album from the list to view. If you then select ‘Play’, the system will only
play music from that specific album.
Voice commands while using Line in
