Using voice commands with the touchscreen options
Your voice system has a special dual mode feature which allows you to
switch between using voice commands and the touchscreen. The most
common place this is available is with your navigation feature (if
equipped). During a navigation voice session, you will notice that some
of the buttons on the screen are outlined in blue and some are not.
The buttons on the screen that are outlined in blue are both voice
commands and can be selected during a voice session. The buttons that
are not outlined in blue can’t be used as voice commands and if they are
touched during a voice session will cancel the voice session. Some
examples are as follows:
•If you press
and say, “Navigation”, after the system confirms the
command and prompts you again, say, “Destination”. The system will
change to the destination screen.
•If you say, “Intersection”, then the system will change the screen to
the intersection screen where “Street”, “City” and “State” are outlined
in blue. You are able to switch between fields by touching the buttons
or by saying, “Enter first street” or “Change city”.
•If you say, “Street Address” the screen will change to the street
address screen and then “Enter City”, where State, City, Street and
Number are outlined in blue indicating that you are able to switch
between the fields by touching the buttons or by saying commands
like “Enter Street”, “Change City”, or “Enter House Number”.
•If you are in the process of entering a destination by voice and your
vehicle comes to a stop, (for example, stopping at a red light), the key
board will appear on the screen. If you make more than three
consecutive button presses, (for example, spelling a city), then the
voice session will be cancelled.

•The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner
when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control
(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.
•For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your
portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is
moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle
is in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow
the portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in
motion.

IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist™); however, if 911 Assist™ is
triggered, SYNCwill try to contact emergency services. If a connected
phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for,
and try to connect to, any available previously paired phone and try to
make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
•SYNCprovides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to
cancel the call. Failure to cancel the call will result in SYNC
attempting to dial 911.
•SYNCwill say the following, or a similar message: “SYNCwill
attempt to call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen
or press and hold the phone button on your steering wheel.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a prerecorded
message will be played for the 911 operator, then the occupant(s) in the
vehicle will be able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
911 Assist™ may not work if:
•Your cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware was damaged in a crash.
•The vehicle’s battery or SYNC system has no power.
•The phone(s) paired and connected to the system was thrown
from the vehicle.
•Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC911 Assist™
works with most cell phones, some may have trouble using this
feature.
WARNING:Always place your phone in a secure location in the
vehicle so it doesn’t becoming a projectile or get damaged in a
collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from working
properly.
