You can remove fingerprints with a dry,

If dirt or fingerprints are still on the screen,
apply a small amount of alcohol to the
cloth and try to clean it again.

Note:  Do not use detergent or any type of
solvent to clean the touchscreen.

Note: Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the

Using Voice Recognition

Using voice commands allows you to keep
your hands on the wheel and eyes on the
road. The system provides feedback
through audible tones, prompts, questions
and spoken confirmations depending on
the situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings).

The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.

When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the status bar
indicating the status of the voice command
session.  See Using Voice Recognition
(page 239).

911 Assist

WARNINGS

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.

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.

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.

Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on before the incident.

Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature only
operates in the U.S., Canada or in a territory
in which 911 is the emergency number.

Note: Before setting this feature on, make
sure that you read the 911 Assist Privacy
Notice later in this section for important
information.

Note: If any user sets 911 Assist to on or off,
that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is switched off and the phone is
connected to SYNC, an icon displays on the
status bar.

Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.

If a crash deploys an airbag (excluding
knee airbags and rear inflatable safety
belts [if equipped]) or activates the fuel
pump shut-off, your SYNC-equipped
vehicle may be able to contact emergency
services by dialing 911 through a paired and
connected Bluetooth-enabled phone. You
can learn more about the 911 Assist
feature, by visiting:

Website

www.owner.ford.com
www.syncmyride.ca
www.syncmaroute.ca

For important information about airbag
deployment and the fuel pump shut-off
please see the Supplementary Restrains
and Roadside Emergencies sections of
your owner manual.

To switch 911 Assist on and off please view
the settings information. See Settings
(page 290).

To make sure that 911 Assist works
correctly:
•

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.
