Personalizing Traffic, Directions and Information:Your Traffic,
Directions and Information Services can be personalized to provide
quicker access to your most used or favorite information. You can save
address points such as, ‘work’ or ‘home’. You can also save favorite
information like sports teams, such as ‘Detroit Lions’, or a news category.
To learn more, log onto www.SyncMyRide.com.
Push to interrupt:You can, at any time while you are connected to
SYNC TDI Services, press
to interrupt a voice prompt or an audio
clip (such as a sports report) and say your voice command.
Portable:Your SYNC TDI Services subscription is associated with your
Bluetoothenabled cellular phone number, not your VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number). Thus, you can use your SYNC TDI Service with
any vehicle equipped with Traffic, Directions and Information. Simply
pair and connect your phone to any vehicle equipped with Traffic,
Directions and Information and continue enjoying your personalized
services.
Note:The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the
vehicle, and therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the
suggested directions. Any navigation features are provided only as an aid.
Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic regulations. Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal maneuver, if
you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe. Maps used by this system may be
inaccurate because of errors, changes in roads, traffic conditions or
driving conditions.
Note:When you connect to Traffic, Directions and Information, the
service uses GPS technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the
vehicle’s current location, travel direction and speed to help provide you
with the directions, traffic reports, or business searches you request.
Further, to provide the services you request and for continuous
improvement, the service may collect and record call details and voice
communications. For more information, see Traffic, Directions and
Information, Terms and Conditions at www.SyncMyRide.com. If you do
not want Ford or its service providers to collect the vehicle travel
information or other information identified in the Terms and Conditions,
do not activate or use the service.
