Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that links to that
cellular phone. This profile helps in
offering you more cellular features
and operating 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 remain in
your vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
your vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
your vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to your vehicle's SYNC module. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada
do 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

information, see the sections on 911
Assist, Vehicle Health Report, and
Traffic, Directions and Information.
Accessing and Adjusting Modes Through Your Vehicle Information
Display The display is located on the right side
of your instrument cluster (A). You
can use your steering wheel controls
to view and make minor adjustments
to active modes without taking your
hands off the wheel. For example:
•
In Entertainment mode, you can
view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select memory
presets and make some
adjustments.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or
reject an incoming call. •
If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, you can view the
current route or activate a route.
• In Efficiency Leaves mode, you can
learn how your vehicle informs you
of your driving efficiency. Press OK
to exit the menu. Use the OK and arrow buttons on the
right side of your steering wheel to
scroll through the available modes:

Navigation
You can make selections from the
menu by using the OK button. The
selection menu expands and different
options appear.
• Press the up and down arrows to
scroll through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the
mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to
make adjustments within the
chosen mode.
• Press OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, Compass appears in
the display instead of Navigation. If you
press the right arrow to go into the
Compass menu, you can see the
compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling, not true direction
(for example, if the vehicle is traveling
west, the middle of the compass
graphic displays west; north displays
to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west). Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of
you. The system provides feedback
through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the
chosen level of interaction (voice
settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not
sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your
request.
When using voice commands, words
and icons may appear in the lower left
status bar indicating the status of the
voice session (such as Listening,
Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with
Your System
Press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any
time during a voice session

What Can I Say?
To access the available voice
commands for the current session, do
one of the following:

help icon (?) in the lower left
status bar of the screen.
• Say, "What can I say?" for an
on-screen listing of the possible

• Press the voice icon. After the tone,
say, "Help" for an audible list of
possible voice commands.
Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your
vehicle is as quiet as possible.
Wind noise from open windows
and road vibrations may prevent
the system from correctly
recognizing spoken commands.
• After pressing the voice icon, wait
until after the tone sounds and
Listening appears before saying a
command. Any command spoken
before this does not register with
the system. •
Speak naturally, without long
pauses between words.

system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize
the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system defaults
to standard interaction that uses
candidate lists and confirmation
prompts as these provide the highest
level of guidance and feedback. •
Interaction Mode: Novice mode
provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction
and more tone prompts.
• Confirmation Prompts:
The
system uses these short questions
to confirm your voice request. If
turned off, the system simply
makes a best guess as to what you
requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm
settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate
Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of
possible results from your voice
commands. The system creates
these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options
based on your voice command.
To access these settings using the
touchscreen:
1. Press the Settings icon > Settings
> then
Voice Control.
2. Select from the following:
• Interaction Mode
• Confirmation Prompts
• Media Candidate Lists
• Phone Candidate Lists
• Voice Control Volume.
To access these settings using voice
commands:
1. Press the voice icon. Wait for the prompt "Please say a command".
Another tone sounds to let you
know the system is listening.

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode
feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and
making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using
navigation.
Buttons outlined in blue indicate
selections that are part of the dual
mode feature. For example, if while
you are in a voice session, rather than
saying the command "Enter street
name" to change the field, you can
press Street and the voice session
does not end. Instead, the voice
system changes to the
Street field
and asks you to say the street name.
You cannot use the buttons not
outlined in blue as voice commands.
If they are touched during a voice
session, the voice session ends. For example, you can choose from the
following on the Navigation home
screen:
•
My Home
• Favorites
• Previous Destinations
• Point of Interest (POI)
• Emergency
• Street Address
• Intersection
• Cancel Route.
Some of the voice commands that
are available while viewing this screen
are: Destination
"Destination emergency" "Destination favorites"
"Destination intersection" "Destination my home" "Destination POI"
"Destination previous destinations" "Destination street address"
If you choose Street Address from the
navigation screen, you can choose
from the following:
• Number
• City
• Street Name
• State/Prov.
