chaotic, but inside, with SYNC, it’s always a smooth ride. All you have to

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
• 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 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’.

Introduction
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.
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)

Voice recognition system overview
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 SYNC phone mode, refer to Voicecommands in phone mode in the Phone chapter.
For voice commands available in SYNC media mode, refer to Voicecommands in media mode in the Media chapter.
