Introduction
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use
extreme caution when using any device that may take their focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.
•Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC. See your authorized dealer.
•Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals, seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
•Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it could cause damage to your device. Refer to your device’s user guide for further information.
•For your safety, some SYNC functions are speed dependent and cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater than 3 mph (4.82 km/h).
•Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with SYNC.
While SYNC supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the functionality of your cell phone with Bluetooth wireless technology. At a minimum, most cellular phones with Bluetooth wireless technology support the following functions:
•Answering an incoming call
•Ending a call
•Using privacy mode
•Dial a number
•Redial
•Call waiting notification
•Caller ID
Other features, such as text messaging via Bluetooth, and automatic phone book download are phone dependent features. To ensure that you have a compatible cellular phone, refer to your phone’s user manual and visit www.SyncMyRide.com.

Introduction
SYNC 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, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may hear a tone at the following times:
•When you press VOICE or on your steering wheel controls.
•When you access the help feature.
•When the VR system does not understand your request
•When a VR session is completed successfully
•When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
•When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
•When a new device is connected
SYNC has five different audible tones that will play depending on the circumstance.
•Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
•Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session completion.
•Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
•Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
•Help: Sounds when you ask for ‘Help’.

Introduction
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly understood your request or when there are many possible responses to your request. For example, if you have Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”. The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts OFF, the system will simply make a best guess as to what you requested. 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.
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)

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 and LISTENING will appear in the radio display signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired function.
For the best voice recognition performance:
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
•After pressing VOICE or , wait until the tone sounds and LISTENING appears in the radio display before speaking a command. Any command spoken prior to this will not register with the system.
•At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by pressing VOICE or . The system will respond with a listening tone and allow you to speak a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
At any time, you may say these commands:
• USB |
• SYNC |
• Bluetooth audio |
• Line in |
• Phone |
• Voice settings |
• Cancel |
• Help |
USB: Say to access the device connected to the USB port.
SYNC: Say to return to the main menu.
Bluetooth audio: Say to access/use streaming music from your cellular phone enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology.
Line in: Say to access the device plugged into your auxiliary input jack.
Phone: Say to access hands-free phone mode.
Voice Settings: Say to access the voice settings menu. Refer to
Commands for voice settings in the following section.
Help: Say at any time for options in a specific mode. SYNC will list various options for you audibly. The ‘help’ request is always available.
Cancel: Say to cancel the requested action.

Voice recognition system overview
In voice settings, you can customize the level of system interaction, help and feedback. The system default settings include standard interaction as well as candidate lists and confirmation prompts as all provide the most guidance and feedback.
At any time, while in voice settings, you may say these commands to adjust the voice settings:
• Interaction mode advanced |
• Interaction mode standard |
• Confirmation prompts on |
• Confirmation prompts off |
• Media candidate lists on |
• Media candidate lists off |
• Phone candidate lists on |
• Phone candidate lists off |
Interaction mode standard/advanced: Standard interaction mode provides more detailed interaction and guidance while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more tone prompts.
Confirmation prompts on/off: Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly heard or understood your request. Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to confirm settings occasionally.
Phone/media candidate lists on/off: Candidate lists are a list of possible results from your voice commands. These occur when SYNC has equal confidence of several possible results from your voice command.
For voice commands available in SYNC phone mode, refer to Voice commands in phone mode in the Phone chapter.
For voice commands available in SYNC media mode, refer to Voice commands in media mode in the Media chapter.
