911 Assist™ (If Equipped)
WARNING: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.
WARNING: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.
WARNING:Always place your phone in a secure location in the
vehicle so it does not becoming 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:SYNC911 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, a voice message plays
and/or a display message/icon comes on when the vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC911 Assist™ works
with most cellular 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.

To Ensure that 911 Assist™ Works Properly
•SYNCmust be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 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.
•A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal strength.
•The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist™); however, if 911 Assist™ is
triggered, SYNCtries to contact emergency services. If a connected
phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCsearches for,
and tries to connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to
make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
•SYNCprovides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNCattempting to dial
911.
•SYNCsays the following, or a similar message: “SYNCwill attempt
to call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press
and hold the phone button on your steering wheel.”
