Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. •
Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's user guide for further
information.
• For your safety, some SYNC functions
are speed-dependent. 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.
392
Edge/Galaxy/S-MAX (CDQ), enUSA, First Printing MyFord Touch
™ (If Equipped)

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 of Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911 Assist,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic,
Directions and Information.
Accessing and Adjusting Modes Through Your Right Vehicle Information
Display 393
Edge/Galaxy/S-MAX (CDQ), enUSA, First Printing MyFord Touch
™ (If Equipped)E145459

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. 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.
• 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
"Cancel""Exit"
"Go back"

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.
• Say, "What can I say?" for an
on-screen listing of the possible voice
commands associated with your
current voice session.

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. Accessing a List of Available Commands

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.
2. Say any of the following commands: Voice settings using voice commands
"Confirmation prompts off""Confirmation prompts on"
"Interaction mode advanced" "Interaction mode novice"
"Media candidate lists off" "Media candidate lists on"
"Phone candidate lists off" "Phone candidate lists on" "Help"
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 available only when the
system displays a list of candidates
generated during a voice session. For
example, when entering in a street address
or trying to call a contact from the phone
you paired to the system.
