Privacy Notice for GPS Mapping with
MyFord® Mobile
MyFord Mobile allows for GPS mapping
when you register a vehicle to a MyFord
Mobile account. To remove the vehicle
from the account, thereby removing GPS
mapping ability, perform a Master Reset
in the vehicle. See Settings (page 240). Prior to transferring ownership of a vehicle,
owners may choose to execute a Master
Reset or Factory Reset (completed via the
MyFord Mobile website). Either method
will remove the vehicle from all MyFord
Mobile accounts.
We recommend that new owners conduct
a Master Reset upon taking possession of
the vehicle to remove it from any existing
MyFord Mobile accounts. The new owner
can activate a MyFord Mobile account by
going to www.myfordmobile.com and
following the registration process.

Voice command issues
Possible solution(s)
Possible cause(s)
Issue
Make sure you are saying the
contacts exactly as they are
listed. For example, if you
save a contact as Joe
Wilson, say "Call Joe
Wilson".
The system may not be
reading the name the same
way you are saying it.
Contacts in your phonebook
may be very short and
similar, or they may contain
special characters.
Using the SYNC phone
menu, open the phonebook
and scroll to the name
SYNC is having trouble
understanding. SYNC will
read the name to you, giving
you some idea of the
pronunciation SYNC is
expecting.
Your phonebook contacts
may be in CAPS.
The system works better if
you list full names, such as
"Joe Wilson" rather than
"Joe".
Do not use special charac-
ters, such as 123 or ICE, as
the system does not recog-
nize them.
If a contact is in CAPS, you
have to spell it. JAKE
requires you to say "Call J-
A-K-E". Touchscreen System Reset
The touchscreen system has System Reset feature that can be performed if the function
of a SYNC feature is lost. This reset is intended to restore functionality and will not erase any information previously stored in the system (such as paired devices, phonebook,call history, text messages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset, press and
hold the Seek Up (>>) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power button. After approximately 5 seconds the screen will go black. Allow a 1-2 minutes for the system reset to complete. You may then resume using the SYNC system.
