accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use

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.
When using the USB port, you may say “User Device” and, when
prompted, any of the following commands:
