(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is
set on before 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. 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. Always place your phone in a
secure location in your vehicle so
it does not become a projectile or
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so
may cause serious injury to someone
or damage the phone, which could
prevent 911 Assist from working
properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature
must be set on prior to the incident.
Note: Before setting this feature on,
make sure that you read the 911 Assist
Privacy Notice later in this section for
important information.

Note:
If any user turns 911 Assist on or
off, that setting applies for all paired
phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, either
a voice message plays or a display
message (or icon) comes on (or both)
when your vehicle is started after a
previously paired phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have
trouble using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes
knee airbags and rear inflatable safety
belts [if equipped]) 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.
You can learn more about the 911
Assist feature, visit

working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature
activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set
on prior to the incident.
• You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and
compatible phone to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled
phone must have the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing
call at the time of the incident.
