Introduction
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: 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威. 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 SYNCfunctions are speed dependent and cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with SYNC威.
PHONE DEPENDENT FEATURES
While SYNCsupports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the functionality of your cell phone with Bluetoothwireless 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
SYNCVOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
SYNCis 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.
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may hear a tone at the following times:
When you press VOICE or
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
SYNChas 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’.
on your steering wheel controls.
Confirmation prompts
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.
See End User License Agreement at the end of this book
2010 SYNC/MGM (mgm) Supplement (supplement), 1st Printing USA (fus)
5
Introduction
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, “Play 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 play John Doe. Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)

Voice recognition system overview
USING VOICE COMMANDS WITH SYNC
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled either VOICE or 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 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 and allow you to speak a command.
Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
At any time, you may say these commands:

Voice recognition system overview
Cancel: Say to cancel the requested action. Vehicle health report (if equipped): Say to request to run a vehicle
health report on your vehicle.
Commands for voice settings
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 SYNCphone mode, refer to Voice commands in phone mode in the Phone chapter.
For voice commands available in SYNCmedia mode, refer to Voice commands in media mode in the Media chapter.

For 911 Assist™ to function properly, the vehicle must have battery power after the crash, the cell phone must be previously paired, connected to SYNC, and continue to function properly, and the 911 Assist™ feature must be previously enabled (set to ON).
WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to initiate an
emergency call if you are capable 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 5 seconds after the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or non-functional.
See End User License Agreement at the end of this book

2010 SYNC/MGM (mgm) Supplement (supplement), 1st Printing USA (fus)
SYNCphone features (if equipped)
The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation. Additionally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off, which are the criteria to initiate 911 Assist™.
Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911 Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag deployment, see the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter of your Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger, check the Roadside Emergency chapter in your Owner’s Guide. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911 Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch”, it will not trigger 911 Assist™.
WARNING: Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from functioning properly.
911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled (set to ON) by you, 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist™ may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note: If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled (set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNC威.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the activation of the fuel pump shut-off, SYNCis designed to assist occupants in attempting to contact emergency services by dialing 911

through the occupant’s paired and connected Bluetooth enabled cellular phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to place the call to
911.Before initiating the call, SYNC provides a short window of time (approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and holding wheel controls. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC will say the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note: Failure to cancel the call by pressing dialing 911.
Note: When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
The following steps are required for the 911 Assist™ feature to perform properly:
SYNC威 is on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and throughout feature activation and use.
SYNC911 Assist™ feature is set to ON prior to the incident.
A Bluetooth enabled cellular phone is paired and connected to SYNC.
A connected Bluetooth enabled cellular phone has the ability to make
an outgoing call at the time of the incident (i.e, has adequate network coverage and signal strength).
The vehicle is located in the U.S. or Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.
will result in SYNC

WARNING: Unless 911 Assist™ is previously configured to ON
prior to a crash, 911 Assist™ will not dial for help during an emergency, which could delay response time, increasing the risk of serious injury or death after a crash.

Vehicle diagnostic information
Scheduled maintenance
Open Recalls and Field Service Actions
Unserviced items from vehicle inspections by your authorized dealer
You can initiate vehicle health in the vehicle at any time and view the complete report with all information listed above on SyncMyRide.com. You can also choose for SYNCto automatically remind you to run reports at specific mileage intervals aligned with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. Once you’ve turned Vehicle Health on in the vehicle, you must go to www.SyncMyRide.com to set up your Vehicle Health Report profile and activate the service online. SyncMyRide.com will also have the latest information on the availability of Vehicle Health Report in markets outside the U.S. Cell phone airtime usage may apply when reporting.
VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT PRIVACY NOTICE: When you run a Vehicle Health Report, Ford Motor Company may collect your cell phone number (to process your report request) and diagnostic information about your vehicle. Certain versions or updates to Vehicle Health Report may also collect additional vehicle information. Ford may use the vehicle information it collects for any purpose. If you do not want to disclose your cell phone number or vehicle information, do not run the feature or set up your Vehicle Health Report profile at www.SyncMyRide.com.
