Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford strongly
recommends that drivers use extreme
caution when using any device or
feature that may take their focus off
the road. Your primary responsibility
is the safe operation of the vehicle.
We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving,
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you
become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of
electronic devices while driving. When using SYNC:
•
Do not operate playing devices if
the power cords or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully
place cords and cables where they
cannot be stepped on or interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving
abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in the
vehicle during extreme conditions
as it could cause them damage.
See your device's user guide for
further information. •
Do not attempt to service or repair
the system. See your authorized
dealer.
• For your safety, some SYNC
functions are speed-dependent
and cannot be performed when
the vehicle is traveling at speeds
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your
device's user guide before using it with
SYNC.
Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be
too difficult to use while the vehicle is
in motion so they are 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,
SIRIUS Travel 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:

vehicle is as quiet as possible.

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.

Note:
The driver is ultimately
responsible for the safe operation of
the vehicle, and therefore, must
evaluate whether it is safe to follow
the suggested directions. Any
navigation features are provided only
as an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic
regulations. Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in
an unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you
would be placed in an unsafe situation,
or if you would be directed into an area
that you consider unsafe. Maps used
by this system may be inaccurate
because of errors, changes in roads,
traffic conditions or driving conditions.

uses GPS technology and advanced
vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle's
current location, travel direction and

directions, traffic reports, or business
searches you request. Further, to
provide the services you request and
for continuous improvement, the
service may collect and record call
details and voice communications. For
more information, see SYNC Services
Terms and Conditions at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. If you do not
want Ford or its service providers to
collect the vehicle travel information
or other information identified in the
Terms and Conditions, do not activate
or use the service. SYNC Services uses advanced vehicle
sensors, integrated GPS technology
and comprehensive map and traffic
data, to give you personalized traffic
reports, precise turn-by-turn
