system function followed by the sub command. System functions are
listed in bold below; subcommands are listed beneath. For example, if
you wanted the map to be shown on the system screen, you would say
“Navigation Show Map”.
If the voice system is already engaged in a specific function, there is no
need to continue repeating that function for future commands within a
30 second period. For example, if you just finished saying “Navigation
Show Map” and then wanted to zoom the map in, you could say “Zoom
In” instead of “Navigation Zoom In”. After 30 seconds has elapsed, the
voice system will start the next voice session from the main menu.

For the best system performance, please adhere to the following:
•The interior of the vehicle needs to be as quiet as possible. Wind noise
from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
•Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by
user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary
convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, users can still
operate their navigation system via the touch screen and hard buttons.
To speak voice commands:
1. Push VOICE or
on the steering wheel. A tone will sound.
2. ‘Main Menu’ and
will appear in the status bar.
3. The system will speak the available voice commands and a tone will
sound.
4. ‘Listening’ and
will appear in the status bar and the system
waits for your response.
5. If the system is not confident that it recognized your voice command,
it will ask for a confirmation of yes or no.
6. If the system does not recognize or hear the your voice command, it will
say, “Sorry, please say....“andrepeat the available voice commands.
The voice failed icon
will be displayed in the status bar.
7. If the system does not recognize or hear your voice command a
second time, the system will say, “Sorry, please press the voice button
and try again” and the voice session is terminated.
8. Once confirmation / recognition takes place, the voice success
icon
is displayed. The system will speak the next level of available
commands, a tone will sound, and the appropriate voice menu name and
icon will be displayed.
9. If the voice session is not complete, the system will then speak the
next set of available voice commands, a tone will sound, and the system
will display ‘listening’
and again, waits for a response.
10. This sequence of events occurs until the voice recognition session is
complete.

FCC COMPLIANCE
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could
void user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits with the Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
PRINCIPLES OF NAVIGATION
The system directs the user based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, sensors in the
vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary
information to guide the user to the selected destination. Space satellites
broadcast information used to determine the vehicle’s current location.

If the system has a low confidence level of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.
Clarification through candidate lists
Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options
of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will
submit back to you as many as four possibilities for your clarification.
This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.
Example #1:
You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, “Call John Doe at home”.
If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to
call Jane Doe at home.” (listen tone)
Example #2:
You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, “Search Artist John”. If
the system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to search John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to search Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)
Using voice commands with your SYNC system
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled
either VOICE or
. Press to activate Voice Recognition. You will hear a
tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any
command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system.
Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to
recognize and perform the desired function.
For the best system performance:
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may
prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
