911 Assist® (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
prior to a crash, the system will not
dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.
Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it
yourself. Dial emergency services
immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.
Always place your phone in a secure
location in the vehicle so it does not
become 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.
Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident.
Note: Before setting this feature on, ensure
that you read the 911 Assist privacy notice
later in this section for important
information.
Note: If 911 Assist is turned on or off by any
user, that setting applies for all paired
phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, either a
voice message plays or a display
message/icon comes on (or both) when the
vehicle is started after a previously paired
phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
mobile phones, some may have trouble
using this feature. If a crash deploys an airbag or activates
the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to
contact emergency services by dialing 911
through a paired and connected
Bluetooth-enabled phone. For more
information about 911 Assist, visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 35). Important information
regarding airbag deployment is in this
chapter.
See Roadside Emergencies (page 197).
Important information regarding the fuel
pump shut-off is in this chapter.
Setting 911 Assist On
Press the Information button, Apps, 911
Assist, then On.
You can also access 911 Assist by:
•
Pressing the Menu icon, Settings,
Phone, then 911 Assist
• Pressing the Menu icon, Help, 911 Assist
To make sure that 911 Assist works
properly:
• SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on
prior to the incident.
• A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone has to be paired and connected
to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time
of the incident.

about 56 subcategories of POIs
that can be selected to be displayed on
the map one at a time.
