VOICE GUIDANCE PROMPTS
Once a route is selected, you will begin to hear voice guidance prompts.
If you are not currently on the route, there will be a prompt. There may
be up to three voice prompts for each maneuver, depending on the
vehicle speed and the distance before the maneuver. The voice prompts
will announce all road names in route guidance instructions. Road name
pronunciations may vary from local pronunciations. The last prompt will
be a double tone and will give just enough time for you to complete the
maneuver.
To adjust the volume level of the voice guidance prompts, turn the
volume control during a voice prompt, or set to the desired level on the
FEEDBACK screen. (Refer to theMenusection).

from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
•Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by
user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary
convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, users can still
operate their navigation system via the touch screen and hard buttons.

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.

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.
