NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system which allows you to
listen to the radio, play CDs, and also navigate the vehicle using a
navigation map DVD.
Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. Guidance is
shown on the display screen and is supplemented with voice prompts.
The display screen provides full information for operating the system
through the use of tabbed menus, text screens, and map displays. Screen
selections are made by touching the desired selection on the touch
screen.

Introduction
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
In order to prevent the navigation system from distracting the driver,
access to certain functions are restricted when the vehicle is traveling
above 5 mph (8 km/h). (For example, only QUICK DEST (Destination)
items are available for destination entry. Refer to DestinationProgramming). When the vehicle is in motion, the following functions
are restricted:
• Scrolling of long lists
• Continuous scrolling of map
• Editing/Adding entries in the Address Book and Avoid Areas List
• DVD ROM Load and Eject
When the vehicle begins to move, and the Select Route Screen is shown,
the highlighted route is automatically selected and guidance begins.
When the vehicle speed is reduced to 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, system
restrictions are lifted and you have full access to the system.
QUICK START
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 drivers 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.

SATELLITE RADIO INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
Satellite radio channels: SIRIUS broadcasts a variety of music, news,
sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUS satellite radio channels,
visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.sirius-canada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
• Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

HYBRID INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
If you have a Hybrid vehicle, your navigation system has special Hybrid
screens which relay Energy Flow and Fuel Economy information. To
access these screens, press MENU and then select the HEV tab.
ENERGY FLOW SCREEN
The Energy flow screen shows a graphical representation of how power
is transferred in the Hybrid system to accelerate the vehicle or recharge
the battery, and also which mode is currently active. These screens are
informational and do not require any input from you.
Note: Due to the screen updates and simplification of the graphics, the
display may not show the actual vehicle status.
1. Engine Power: This line represents how much power is being
provided to the wheels by the engine. The arrow will always flow in one
direction and point to the wheels.
2. Engine: This icon represents the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted in orange only when the ICE is running.
3. Generator Power: This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.
4. High Voltage (HV) Battery: This icon represents your High Voltage
Battery. The fill level (shown in green), represents the state of charge of
your HV

is providing to accelerate the vehicle (discharging), or how much power
is being delivered back through the motor to the battery charging.
6. Electric motor: This icon represents the Hybrid Electric Motor. This
symbol will be highlighted in orange after the vehicle has been started
and will remain highlighted until key off to indicate that the vehicle is
ready to be driven.
7. Motor power: This line represents the Hybrid Electric Motor. This
symbol will be highlighted in orange after the vehicle has been started
and will remain highlighted until key off to indicate that the vehicle is

Note: The power arrows may point in different directions, indicating
which way the power is flowing. The arrows may also vary in width to
indicate the different levels of power being provided to that component.
The energy flow screens contain a title to indicate which mode is active
within the Hybrid system.
In Hybrid Drive mode, the vehicle
is being powered by both the
electric motor and the engine.
In Charging HV Battery mode, the
vehicle is slowing down and power
is being stored in the high voltage
(HV) battery by the Hybrid system.

displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG
will be retained when the key is turned OFF and will continue
averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG
MPG to zero.
• One minute average graph: The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the overall average fuel economy
will retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.

exactly as they are written or they may not function. You must say the
system function followed by the sub command. System functions are
listed in bold below; subcommands are listed beneath. For example, if
you wanted the map to be shown on the system screen, you would say
“Navigation Show Map”.
If the voice system is already engaged in a specific function, there is no
need to continue repeating that function for future commands within a

FCC COMPLIANCE
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could
void user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits with the Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
PRINCIPLES OF NAVIGATION
The system directs the user based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, sensors in the
vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary
information to guide the user to the selected destination. Space satellites
broadcast information used to determine the vehicle’s current location.

General Information
LIMITED GPS RECEPTION
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles.
The following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted.
If the vehicle is:
• In multi-story parking garages
• In tunnels and under bridges
• Inside or in between buildings
• By forests or tree-lined avenues
• In heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
• In valleys and in mountainous regions
• Roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the dashboard and
that if your windows are tinted, they use non-metal tinting instead of
metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can also interrupt GPS
reception.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation
function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will
operate reliably again once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Cold temperature start: When operating the system below 32° F
(0°C), the display screen requires a 2–3 minutes warm-up time to
achieve maximum brightness.
Other conditions: When calculating a route, the system doesn’t take
into consideration any of the following conditions:
• Traffic Conditions
• Weather Conditions
• Driving Habits
• Construction Zones
• New Roads

SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
PHONE DEPENDENT FEATURES
While SYNC supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the
functionality of your cell phone with Bluetooth威 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

SYNC VOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
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.
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
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’.
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
2008 Pioneer Navigation w/voice recognition (nv1)
Supplement
USA (fus)
93
SYNC (if equipped)
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.
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, “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)
Using voice commands with your SYNC system
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled
either VOICE or
tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any
command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system.
Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to
recognize and perform the desired function.
For the best system performance:
• Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may
prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
