2012 FORD SUPER DUTY climate control

MOBILE MEDIA NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a mobile media navigation system which
allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and
video), and operate climate control functions (if equipped).
Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. The display
screen is the primary means for operating the system through the use of
its vertically tabbed menus, text screens and menu displays. Screen
selections are made by touching the desired area on the touchscreen.
The “tabs” along the left side of the screen represent the major
components of the system. The status bars at the top and bottom of the
screen will display for the majority of the time once the system is turned
on and ready for operation. The top status bar will contain menu names,
icons, and a clock. The lower status bar contains climate information (if
equipped), icons and advisory messages. Please refer toStatus barsin
theSystem Overviewchapter for more information. Navigation guidance
is shown on the display touchscreen and is supplemented with voice
prompts.

Note:If your vehicle is equipped with SYNC, similar features will be

VOICE RECOGNITION
Your vehicle may be equipped with an advanced interactive Voice
Recognition (VR) system. This system allows you to perform many
operations such as operating the navigation, audio, phone (if equipped),
media, climate (if equipped), display and voice settings by “speaking”
certain commands. The system will respond with a series of audible
tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may
hear a tone at the following times:
•When you press VOICE or
on your steering wheel controls.
•When you access the help feature.
•When the VR system does not understand your request
•When a VR session is completed successfully
•When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
•When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
•When a new device is connected
The navigation system has five different audible tones that will play
depending on the circumstance.
•Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
•Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session
completion.
•Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR
session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
•Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
•Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.

Confirmation prompts
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the
system has not clearly understood your request or when there are
several possible responses to your request. For example, if you have
Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”.
The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If
you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will
ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts
OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you
to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.
HOW TO USE VOICE COMMANDS WITH YOUR SYSTEM
Press
or VOICE on your steering wheel controls to activate Voice
Recognition. Depending on the feedback setting, you will hear the
prompt, “Please say a command” followed by a tone, or you will hear a
tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any
command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system.
Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to
recognize and perform the desired function. You can, at any time,
press
