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.

soon as possible so that you will not have to wait until all of the music is
indexed prior to playing.

screen similar to the one shown below will be displayed. From this
screen, you can then make selections through the Media Menu.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Autoplay: With Autoplay turned ON, SYNC allows you to listen to music
which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process.
With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to play until
all of the music has been indexed by SYNC. Depending on the size of the
material, this may take a few minutes.
Bluetooth enabled cellular phone: Any cellular phone which has the
Bluetooth wireless technology which will enable the phone to connect
with SYNC and exchange information wirelessly.
Digital media player / USB Device: This is a generic term used to
signify any of the following media devices: iPod , Zune™, “Plays from
device” players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN
drives, etc.)
Discoverable mode: A mode which allows other Bluetoothenabled
devices to find your Bluetoothenabled device.
Discovery mode: A mode which allows your Bluetoothenabled device
to search for other ‘discoverable’ Bluetoothenabled devices.
In-band ringing: This is a phone dependent feature. If your Bluetooth
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 your Bluetoothenabled 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 subsequent Bluetoothconnections 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 your Bluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
