Voice command issues

Possible solution(s)

Possible cause(s)

Issue

The system works better if

you list full names, such as

"Joe Wilson" rather than

"Joe".

The system may not be

reading the name the same

way you are saying it.

Do not use special charac-

ters, such as 123 or ICE, as

the system does not recog-

nize them.

Contacts in your phonebook

may be very short and

similar, or they may contain

special characters.

If a contact is in CAPS, you

have to spell it. JAKE

requires you to say "Call J-

A-K-E".

Your phonebook contacts

may be in CAPS.

Unplug the USB cable from

Force close or uninstall the

apps you do not want SYNC
to find. If the app has a "Ford

SYNC" setting, disable that

setting in the app's settings

menu on the phone.

Some Android devices have

a limited number of

bluetooth ports apps can

use to connect. If you have

more AppLink apps on your

phone than the number of

available Bluetooth ports,
you will not see all of your

apps listed in SYNC's mobile

apps menu.

I can only see some of the

AppLink apps running on my

phone listed in SYNC's

Mobile Apps Menu.

SYNC System Reset

The SYNC system in your vehicle has System Reset feature that can be performed if

the function of a SYNC feature is lost. This reset is intended to restore functionality and

will not erase any information previously stored in the system (Such as paired devices,

phonebook, call history, text messages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset,

press and hold the Seek Up (>>) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power

button. Release both buttons after 2-3 seconds. Please allow a few minutes for the

reset to complete. After a few minutes has passed you can resume using the SYNC

system.
