QUICK START — HOW TO GET GOING
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.
Pairing your phone through your navigation system

7. If supported by yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone, SYNC will
prompt you to download your phone book/call history. Press YES or NO.

call history information from yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone (if

made any changes to your phone book/call history in SYNC, they will be
overwritten with the new download.

Discoverable mode:A mode which allows otherBluetoothenabled
devices to find yourBluetoothenabled device.
Discovery mode:A mode which allows yourBluetoothenabled device
to search for other ‘discoverable’Bluetoothenabled devices.
In-band ringing:This is a phone dependent feature. If yourBluetooth
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 yourBluetoothenabled 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 subsequentBluetoothconnections 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 yourBluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
