distance possible.

fuel efficient route.

MyFord Touch (see the Getting started

the wrong screen you can always
press the home

Phone, Navigation,* Climate and Entertainment are the four main operations of SYNC with MyFord Touch. Each feature

way traditional controls, knobs and buttons do. Simply press the various corners on your touch screen to personalize the

Climate
No knobs or dials needed. Just touch the lower right-hand,
blue corner of the touch screen. SYNC with MyFord Touch
controls the temperature, airflow direction, fan speed, and
activates other climate features for you and your passenger.
To use voice commands to operate climate, say a voice
command like “Climate temperature 72 degrees” and
MyFord Touch will make that adjustment.
Entertainment
No matter how you store your music, SYNC makes it yours
to enjoy when you’re behind the wheel. Just press the lower,
left-hand red corner of the touch screen. From here, you
can easily go between AM/FM, CD, USB and other media
sources. You use your touch screen or the audio controls on
your steering wheel to interact with your digital media.
Bring in Your Own Music
Your media hub is located in your center console. The
media hub includes two USB ports, an SD card slot and
RCA connections. Use them to access digital media such as
MP3s, gaming systems, cameras and phones. It’s never been
easier to control what you listen to. Plug in your compatible
digital music player, USB drive or SD card and SYNC will do
the rest. Browse your music collection however you’d prefer,
by genre, album, artist, playlist and song title using voice
commands. “Play Genre: Rock,” or “Play [Artist]” or “Play
[Song]” are just a few of the simple commands. Refer to
the MyFord Touch chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
complete details.
