2013 FORD ESCAPE navigation system

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.

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.
SYNC Services uses advanced vehicle
sensors, integrated GPS technology and
comprehensive map and traffic data, to
