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 drivers primary responsibility is the safe
operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not

Pairing your phone through your navigation system
Note: This is a speed dependent feature and will not work if your
vehicle is traveling at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The first thing you will need to do to get going is to pair your
Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with SYNC.
1. Press the PHONE hard button on the navigation system.

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.
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 Bluetoothenabled cellular
phone. Before initiating the call, SYNC provides a 10 second window
which allows the driver or passenger to decide whether to cancel the call
by pressing and holding
on the steering wheel controls. 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.”
Note: Failure to cancel the call by pressing
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.

• A connected Bluetoothenabled 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

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.
