911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911
operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not turn the
feature on.
Vehicle Health Report (If Equipped, U.S. Only)
WARNING:Always follow scheduled maintenance instructions,
regularly inspect your vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Report supplements, but cannot
replace, normal maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle Health
Report only monitors certain systems that are electronically monitored
by the vehicle and will not monitor or report the status of any other
system, (i.e., brake lining wear). Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance and regularly inspect your vehicle may result in vehicle
damage and serious injury.
Note:Your Vehicle Health Report feature requires activation prior to use.
Visit www.SYNCMyRide.com to register. There is no fee or subscription
associated with Vehicle Health Report, but you must register to use this
feature.
Note:This feature may not function properly if you have enabled caller
ID blocking on your mobile phone. Before running a report, review
Vehicle Health Report Privacy Notice.
Note:In order to allow a break-in period for your vehicle, you may not
be able to create a Vehicle Health Report until your vehicle odometer has
reached 200 miles.
Note:Cellular phone and SMS charges may apply when making a report.

Setting a Destination
Press the green corner of your touchscreen, then the Dest button when
it appears. Choose any of the following:
Destination selections
My Home Street Address
Favorites Intersection
Previous Destinations City Center
Point of Interest (POI) Map
Emergency Previous Starting Point
Freeway Entrance/Exit Latitude/Longitude
1. Enter the necessary information into the highlighted text fields (in
any order). For address destination entry, the Go! button appears
once all the necessary information has been entered. Pressing the Go!
button makes the address location to appear on the map. If you
choose Previous Destination, the last 20 destinations you have
selected appear.
2. Select Set as Dest to make this your destination. You can also choose
to set this as a waypoint (have the system route to this point on the
way to your current destination) or save it as a favorite. Any Avoid
Areas selections are also considered in route calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, then select Start
Route.
•Fastest: Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
•Shortest: Uses the shortest distance possible.
•Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most fuel efficient route.
You can cancel the route or have the system demo the route for you.
Select Route Prefs to set route preferences like avoiding freeways, toll
roads, ferries and car trains as well as to use or not use HOV lanes.
(HOV lanes are High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes also known as carpool or
diamond lanes. These lanes are reserved for people who ride in buses,
vanpools or carpools.)
Note:If Start Route button is not pressed and the vehicle is driven on a
recognized road, the system defaults to the fastest route option and
begins guidance.
During route guidance, the “talking bubble” icon that appears in the
upper right navigation corner (green bar) can be pressed if the user
wants the system to repeat a route guidance instruction. Instructions
decrease with each press.
