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. 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 (5 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’.

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

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:

• 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.

Voice recognition system overview

Cancel: Say to cancel the requested action. Vehicle health (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 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.

VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT (IF EQUIPPED, U.S. ONLY)

WARNING: Always follow scheduled maintenance instructions,

regularly inspect your vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Reports supplements, but cannot replace normal maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle Health Report only monitors those systems that are electronically monitored by the vehicle and will not monitor or report the status of any other system, (i.e., brake lining wear). Failure to perform scheduled maintenance and regularly inspect your vehicle may result in vehicle damage and serious injury.

SYNC allows you to check your vehicle’s overall ‘health’ in the form of diagnostic report card. The vehicle health report contains valuable information such as:

• Vehicle diagnostic information

• Scheduled maintenance

• Field service actions

• Unserviced items from vehicle inspections by your authorized dealer

You can choose to run a report at any time and have the results sent to your e-mail. You can also choose for SYNC to run reports at specific mileage intervals aligned with your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance intervals. Go to www.SyncMyRide.com to set up your Vehicle Health Report profile and for more information on the availability of this application in your market.

911 ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)

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 activated.

See End User License Agreement at the end of this book

SYNC phone features

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.

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.

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.

In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the activation of the fuel pump shut-off, SYNC is 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, SYNC will search for and connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and continue to place the call to 911. Before initiating the call, SYNC provides a 10 second window that allows the driver or passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and holding Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC will say the following or a similar message:

“A crash has occurred. SYNC will attempt to place a call to 911. To cancel, 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. The pre-recorded message will be similar to the following example:

“A vehicle crash has been detected that has deployed an airbag or activated the fuel pump shut-off in a SYNC equipped vehicle. Please send assistance. You are now connected with the vehicle occupants.”

on the steering wheel controls or on the audio system.

Note: Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC 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 is on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and throughout feature activation and use.

• SYNC 911 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.

• The vehicle is located in the U.S. or Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.

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.

The 911 Assist feature is initially set to OFF. The connected phone must be set as the primary phone in order to change the setting. To access the setting:

1. Press

2. Scroll repeatedly until 911 ASSIST appears in the radio display.

VOICE COMMANDS IN MEDIA MODE

WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle

control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using cell phones, even with voice commands. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their vehicle. Only use media and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.

Voice commands when using the USB port

When using the USB port, you may say any of the following commands:

• Play all • Play

• Pause • What’s playing?

• Connections • Play next track

• Play previous track • Play next folder

• Similar music • Play previous folder

• Autoplay on • Autoplay off

• Repeat off • Repeat on

• Shuffle on • Shuffle off

• Play genre <name>

• Play playlist <name>

• Play album <name> • Play artist <name>

• Play track <name>

• Search genre <name>

• Search album <name>

• Refine artist <name>

Voice commands are not available until indexing is complete.

Voice commands only available in folder mode. For more information,

• Search artist <name>

• Search track <name>

• Refine album <name>

• Refine track <name>

refer to Exploring the USB device later in this chapter. Note: In the above possible commands, “<name>” is a dynamic listing in

that it could be the name of any desired group, artist, etc. Autoplay: With this feature ON, SYNC allows you to listen to music

which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process. With this feature OFF, SYNC will not begin to play any of your music until all media has all been indexed. Note: The larger the number of songs the system has to index, the longer indexing will take. Indexing times can vary from device to device.

See End User License Agreement at the end of this book

SYNC media features

Search/Play Genre: You can search for and play a specific genre (type) of music. SYNC will search all the data from your indexed music and, if available, will begin to play that type of music. Note: You can only play genres of music which are present in the GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.

Similar music: You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what you are currently playing from the USB port. SYNC will use the metadata information of each indexed song to compile a playlist for you.

Search/play artist/track/album: You can search for a specific artist/track or album from the music SYNC has indexed through the USB port.

Refine: This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For example, if you told SYNC to search and play all music by a certain artist, you could then tell SYNC to “refine album” and choose a specific album from the list to view. If you then select ‘Play’, the system will only play music from that specific album.

Voice commands while using Line in

While using the Line in feature (Auxiliary input jack), you may speak the following commands:

• SYNC • Line in

• Bluetooth Audio • Cancel

• Phone • Voice settings

Voice commands when in Bluetooth audio mode

When in Bluetooth audio mode, you may use the following commands:

Glossary

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Autoplay: With Autoplay turned ON, SYNC allows you to listen to music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process. With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to play until all of the music has been indexed by SYNC. Depending on the size of the material, this may take a few minutes.

Bluetooth enabled cellular phone: Any cellular phone which has the Bluetooth wireless technology which will enable the phone to connect with SYNC and exchange information wirelessly.

Digital media player / USB Device: This is a generic term used to signify any of the following media devices: iPod威, Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN drives, etc.)

Discoverable mode: A mode which allows other Bluetooth enabled devices to find your Bluetooth enabled device.

Discovery mode: A mode which allows your Bluetooth enabled device to search for other ‘discoverable’ Bluetooth enabled devices.

In-band ringing: This is a phone dependent feature. If your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNC can play your ring tone during incoming calls.

Indexing: A process in which SYNC builds a voice recognition grammar for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing, SYNC will play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is complete.

Metadata: Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which provide SYNC with information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and TRACK.

Pairing: To use your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with SYNC, you must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication purposes during subsequent Bluetooth connections between the two devices.

PIN (Personal Identification number): This six digit number (sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display during the pairing process with your Bluetooth enabled device. You do not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that specific pairing procedure.
