Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while the vehicle
is in motion so they’re restricted from being modified unless the vehicle
is not moving. Some examples of these are listed below:
•Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest (POI) reviews and ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link™ sports
scores, movie times, ski conditions, etc.
• Any action that requires using a keyboard, such as entering a
navigation destination or editing information
• All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (e.g. phone
contacts, recent phone call entries)
Listed below are more specific features that can only be modified while
the vehicle is not moving:

phonebook contacts (from a USB)

PHONE
Hands-free calling is one of the main features of SYNC. Once your
phone is paired, you can access many options using the touchscreen or
voice commands. While the system supports a variety of features, many
are dependent on your cellular phone’s functionality. At a minimum, most
cellular phones with Bluetooth wireless technology support the following
functions:
• Answering an incoming call
• Ending a call
• Using privacy mode
• Dial a number
• Redial
• Call waiting notification
• Caller ID
• Phonebook/Caller ID photos
Other features such as text messaging using Bluetooth and automatic
phonebook download are phone-dependent features. To check your
phone’s compatibility, refer to your phone’s user manual and visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.
Pairing Your Phone for the First Time
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. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
The first thing you must do to use the phone features of SYNC is to pair
your Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone with SYNC. This allows you to use
your phone in a hands-free manner.
1. Touch Add Phone in the upper left corner of the touchscreen.
2. When prompted, select Add.
3. Select Add Device.
4. Make sure that Bluetooth is set to ON and that your cellular phone is in the proper mode. Refer to your phone’s user guide if necessary.

INFORMATION
Under the Information menu, you can access features such as SYNC
Services, SIRIUS Travel Link™ and SYNC Apps or view your calendar
and system notifications.
If your vehicle is equipped with the navigation system, press the “i”
(Information) button to access these features. If your vehicle is not

SYNC Services (If Equipped, U.S. Only)
Note: SYNC Services requires activation prior to use. Visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com to register and check your eligibility for
complimentary services. Standard phone and message rates may apply.
Subscription may be required. You must also have the active SYNC
Services Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone paired and connected to the
system in order to connect to, and use, SYNC Services. Refer to the
Phone section for pairing instructions.
Note: This feature does not function properly if you have enabled caller
ID blocking on your mobile phone. Make sure your mobile phone is not
blocking caller ID before using SYNC 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, 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
SYNC Services 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.
