•If you do not cancel the call and SYNCmakes a successful call, anintroductory message plays for theemergency operator. After thismessage, there is hands-freecommunication between your vehicle'soccupants and the operator.
•The system provides a short windowof time (approximately 10 seconds) tocancel the call. If you do not cancel thecall, the system attempts to dial 112.
•The system plays a message lettingyou know when it attempts to make anemergency call. You can cancel the callby selecting the relevant icon in thedisplay or by pressing the hang upbutton on your cell phone.
During a call:
•Emergency assistance uses yourvehicle GPS or cellular networkinformation when available todetermine the most appropriatelanguage to use. It alerts theemergency operator of the crash anddelivers the introductory message. Thismay include your vehicle GPScoordinates.

•After the delivery of the introductorymessage the voice line opens so thatyou can speak hands-free with theemergency operator.
•When the line is connected, you mustbe prepared to provide your name,phone number and locationinformation immediately.

Do not use special characters such as 123or ICE as the system does not recognizethem.

SYNC uses a synthetically generated voicerather than pre-recorded human voice.
SYNC uses text-to-speech voice prompttechnology.
The systemgenerates voiceprompts andthe pronunci-ation of somewords may notbe accurate formy language.
SYNC offers several new voice controlfeatures for a wide range of languages.Dialing a contact name directly from thephonebook without pre-recording (forexample,“call John Smith”) or selecting atrack, artist, album, genre or playlist directlyfrom your media player (for example," playartist Madonna).
SYNC offers significant capability beyondthe previous system such as dialing acontact name directly from the phonebookwithout pre-recording (for example,“callJohn Smith”) or selecting a track, artist,album, genre or playlist directly from yourmedia player (for example, " play artistMadonna).
The focus of SYNC is tocontrol your mobiledevices and the contentstored on them.
My previousBluetooth voicecontrol systemallowed me tocontrol theradio, CD, andclimate controlsystems. Whycan I not controlthese systemswith SYNC?
