Your vehicle’s centerstack is equipped with touch sensitive switches for
your infotainment and climate control systems. To activate or deactivate
a feature, you need only touch the graphic with your finger.
For optimum performance of these touch sensitive controls,
please note the following:
• The touch sensors are sensitive to light touch. You do not need to
apply forceful pressure on these controls to use them.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may cause nearby control to
activate/deactivate.
• Ensure that your hands are clean, dry and free of moisture.
• Since the touch control sensor operates based on the touch of a
finger, you may have trouble using them if you are wearing gloves.
• Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the
surface of the touch controls as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).

Privacy information
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC威, SYNC威 creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to
SYNC威. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNC威 creates and
retains an index of media content supported by SYNC威. SYNC威 also
records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all
recent SYNC威 activity. The log profile and other SYNC威 data may be
used to improve SYNC威 and help diagnose any problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use SYNC威 or the vehicle, we recommend you perform
a Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC威.
SYNC威 data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicle’s SYNC威 module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada
will not access SYNC威 data for any purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or where required by law enforcement,

Voice recognition system overview
VOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
Your system is equipped with an advanced interactive voice recognition
(VR) system. This system allows you to perform many operations by
speaking certain commands to the system. The system will respond with
a series of audible tones, questions and spoken confirmations depending
on the situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.
System feedback and interaction
Your voice recognition system provides feedback via audible tones when:
• You are entering a new voice session
• A voice session is successful or unsuccessful
• A speed dependent feature is accessed
• The system is ready to listen for a command
• You choose to access the Help feature
• The system gives a positive or negative recognition
The system will also ask short questions (confirmation prompts) when it
has not clearly understood your request or when there are several
possible responses to your request.
Voice recognition visual feedback
When using voice commands, the following icons and words may appear
in the lower left status bar indicating the voice session status:

Voice recognition system overview
Using voice commands with the touchscreen options
Your voice system has a special dual mode feature which allows you to
switch between using voice commands and the touchscreen. The most
common place this is available is with your navigation feature (if
equipped). During a navigation voice session, you will notice that some
of the buttons on the screen are outlined in blue and some are not.
The buttons on the screen that are outlined in blue are both voice
commands and can be selected during a voice session. The buttons that
are not outlined in blue can’t be used as voice commands and if they are
touched during a voice session will cancel the voice session. Some
examples are as follows:
• If you press
command and prompts you again, say, “Destination”. The system will
change to the destination screen.
• If you say, “Intersection”, then the system will change the screen to
the intersection screen where “Street”, “City” and “State” are outlined
in blue. You are able to switch between fields by touching the buttons
or by saying, “Enter first street” or “Change city”.
• If you say, “Street Address” the screen will change to the street
address screen and then “Enter City”, where State, City, Street and
Number are outlined in blue indicating that you are able to switch
between the fields by touching the buttons or by saying commands
like “Enter Street”, “Change City”, or “Enter House Number”.
• If you are in the process of entering a destination by voice and your
vehicle comes to a stop, (for example, stopping at a red light), the key
board will appear on the screen. If you make more than three
consecutive button presses, (for example, spelling a city), then the
voice session will be cancelled.

HD Radio™ information (if equipped, U.S. only)
What is HD Radio™ technology and how does it work? HD Radio™
technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system
has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where
available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal clear audio and no static or distortion. For more information,
and a guide to available stations and programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
Using HD Radio™ technology
To access, press the lower left corner of the touchscreen. Then, press
AM/FM > Options > HD Radio > On.
When this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your
screen:
A. HD) logo: This indicator will
blink when a digital station is being
acquired and will be solid when
digital audio is playing.
Note: When this logo is available,
you will also see Title and Artist
fields on screen.

Media features
B. Multicast indicator: This will
appear in FM mode (only) if the
current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The
numbers that are highlighted signify
available digital channels where
new/different content is available.
HD1 will signify the main
programming status and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any
additional multicast stations (HD2–HD7) are only broadcast digitally.
The tagging feature
The tagging feature allows you to tag a song to download later. When
you are on an acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button will become
available (provided the feature has been turned on. To turn on, press
AM/FM > Options > TAG On).
When you are listening to a song
you would like to tag to download
later, simply press the TAG button.
The system will automatically save
the song’s information and transfer
it to your portable music player (if supported) when it is connected to
the system. If your music player is connected at the time, the system will
automatically transfer the tag to your player and a pop up will confirm
the transfer. When you access iTunes威 with your portable music player,
the tags will appear to you will be reminded of the song. The system will
allow you to tag up to approximately 100 songs.
Note: For a list of devices that support tagging, refer to
www.SyncMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the
following functions:
• Scan: Your scan feature will still work when HD Radio reception is
activated, although it will not scan for HD2 - HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
• Seek: Press to seek to the next strong radio station. If the current
station has multiple digital broadcasts, the multicast indicator will
display. Press Seek repeatedly to advance through all available
broadcasts. If you are on the last multicast channel, press Seek to
advance to the next strong station.

Media features
• Tune: Use to go up/down the frequency in individual increments.
If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts, the
multicast indicator will display. Use Tune to advance through all
available broadcasts. If you are on the last broadcast channel, turn to
advance to the next frequency on the band.
• Saving a multicast station as a preset: When the channel is active
on-screen, press and hold a memory preset slot on the right of the
screen until the sound returns. There will be a momentary mute and
then the sound will return signifying it was saved. When recalling aHD2/HD3 memory preset, there will be a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again acquire the digital
signal. If you have turned this feature off and press a memory preset
containing an HD Radio broadcast station, a pop-up will appear asking
you if you would like to turn the feature back on.
Note: As with any saved radio station, you will not be able to access
the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio reception factors
• Reception area: If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system will
switch back to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is
available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible
HD2–HD7 multicast channels, the station will mute and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
• Station blending: When a station is first received (aside from
HD2–HD7 multicast stations), the system will first play the station in
the analog version and then, if receiver verifies the station is an HD
Radio station, it will shift into the digital version. Depending on the
station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to the digital version. This shift from analog to
digital sound or digital back to analog, is known as ‘blending’.
Station issues
In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
