Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while the vehicle
is in motion so they’re restricted from being modified unless the vehicle
is not moving. Some examples of these are listed below:
•Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest (POI) reviews and ratings, SIRIUSTravel Link™ sports
scores, movie times, ski conditions, etc.
•Any action that requires using a keyboard, such as entering a
navigation destination or editing information
•All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (e.g. phone
contacts, recent phone call entries)
Listed below are more specific features that can only be modified while
the vehicle is not moving:

Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC, the system creates a
profile within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This
profile is created in order to offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread),
and call history, including history of calls when your cell phone was not
connected to the system. In addition, if you connect a media device, the
system creates and retains an index of supported media content. The
system also records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes
of all recent system activity. The log profile and other system data may
be used to improve the system and help diagnose any problems that may
occur.
The cellular 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 cellular phone or media player is connected. If you no
longer plan to use the system or the vehicle, we recommend you perform
a Master Reset to erase all stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicle’s SYNCmodule. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada
will not access the system data for any purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada. For further
privacy information, see the sections on 911 Assist™ (if equipped),
Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).
