Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources for extended periods.
MP3 Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing
and playing MP3 individual tracks and
folder structures work as follows:
• There are two different modes forMP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3
folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on
the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a
maximum of T255. The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may
be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
• MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one
level of folders. The CD player
numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension)
and all folders containing MP3
files, from F001 (folder) T001
(track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs,
it is important to understand how the
system reads the structures you
create. While various files may be
present, (files with extensions other
than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension are played; other files are
ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a
variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays
and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files
play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system
only plays the .mp3 files in the current
folder.

Their use is limited to when your
vehicle is traveling at speeds under
3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your
device's manual before using it with
SYNC.Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be
too difficult to use while your vehicle
is moving so they are restricted from
use unless your vehicle is stationary.
• Screens crowded with information, such as Point of Interest reviews
and ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link
sports scores, movie times or ski
conditions.
• Any action that requires you to use a keyboard is restricted, such as
entering a navigation destination
or editing information.
• All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (such as phone
contacts or recent phone call
entries).
See the following chart for more
specific examples.

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

access the information independently

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

What Can I Say?
To access the available voice
commands for the current session, do
one of the following:
• During a voice session, press the help icon (?) in the lower left
status bar of the screen.

Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of yourvehicle 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.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.
Accessing a List of Available
Commands
