Privacy Information
When a mobile phone is connected to
SYNC, SYNC creates a profile within your
vehicle that is linked to that mobile phone.
This profile is created in order to offer you
more mobile features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile
may contain data about your mobile phone
book, text messages (read and unread),
and call history, including history of calls
when your mobile phone was not
connected to SYNC. In addition, if you
connect a media device, SYNC creates and
retains an index of media content
supported by SYNC. SYNC also records a
short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent SYNC activity. The
log profile and other SYNC data may be
used to improve SYNC and help diagnose
any problems that may occur. The mobile profile, media device index, and
development log will remain in the vehicle
unless you delete it and are generally
accessible only in the vehicle when the
mobile phone or media player is
connected. If you no longer plan to use
SYNC, or the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
information stored in SYNC.

Helpful Hints
•Make sure the interior of the vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken commands. •
After pressing the voice icon, wait until
after the tone sounds and "Listening"
appears before saying a command. Any
command spoken before this does not
register with the system.
• Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time you can interrupt the
system while it is speaking by pressing
the voice icon.
