ACCESSING SYNC MEDIA FEATURES THROUGH YOUR DVD
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
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 cell phones and other devices not essential to
the driving task when it is safe to do so.
Rear seat passengers can listen to SYNC media sources (USB, BT
AUDIO, LINE IN) through the DVD system (if equipped).
To access:
1. Ensure that:
• The DVD and audio system are ON. See the Family Entertainment
System section in your Owner’s Guide for more information.
• Your digital media playing device is plugged into the USB port or
SYNC’s Auxiliary input jack (Line in), if desired.
Note: When accessing media through the USB port, ensure that the
media device is plugged into the USB port BEFORE pressing the
media button to select USB. If no device is plugged into the USB port,
USB will not appear as an available selection.
• Your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone from which you wish to stream
music is ON and is currently paired to SYNC as a BluetoothDevice.
