display any active modes within those
menus, such as phone status or the
climate temperature.
Note: Some features are not available
while your vehicle is moving.

feature that allows you to access and
control audio features for 30 minutes

Using the Touch-Sensitive
Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch
the graphic with your finger. To get the
best performance from the
touch-sensitive controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic
may affect operation of a nearby
control.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are
wearing gloves.
• Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of
the touchscreen as this may cause
electronic interference (for
example, inadvertently turning on
a feature other than the one you
meant to turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
• Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
• VOL: Control the volume of
playing media.
• Fan: Control the speed of the climate system fan.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.

• Eject: Eject a CD from theentertainment system.
• SOURCE: Touch the word

access the Sound menu where you
can adjust settings such as: Bass,
Treble, Midrange, Balance and
Fade, DSP (Digital Signal
Processing), THX Deep Note
Demo, Occupancy Mode and

(Your vehicle may not have all of
these sound options.)

type of solvent to clean the display.

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
347

access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada. For further privacyinformation, see the sections on 911
Assist, Vehicle Health Report, and
Traffic, Directions and Information.
Accessing and Adjusting Modes through Your Vehicle Information
Display
E156609
The display is located on the center
of your instrument cluster. It allows
you 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 presets
and make some adjustments.
• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can view the current route or
activate a route.
• In phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.
E145982
Use the OK and arrow buttons on the
right side of your steering wheel to
scroll through the available modes.
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.
348
MyLincoln Touch™

• Press the left or right arrows tomake 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
E142599

tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any
time during a voice session

status bar of the screen.

voice commands associated with
your current voice session.

possible voice commands.
