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
• Shuffle on •Shuffle off
• Play genre

• Play album •Play artist 1
• Play track 1•Search artist 1
• Search genre 1•Search track 1

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
While using the Line in feature (Auxiliary input jack), you may
speak the following commands:
• SYNC •Line in
