a wireless network within your vehicle,
thereby allowing other devices (such as
personal computers or phones) in your
vehicle to speak to each other, share files or
play games. Using this Wi-Fi feature,
everyone in your vehicle can also gain access
the internet if you have a USB mobile
broadband connection inside your vehicle,
your phone supports personal area
networking and if you park outside a wireless
hotspot. Press the Settings icon > Settings
> Wireless & Internet, then select
from the following:
Wi-Fi

network, disconnect from a network, receive more information, prioritize a network or delete a network.

Your voice system allows you to change
audio sources with a simple voice command.
For example, if you are listening to music on
a USB device, then want to switch to a
satellite radio channel, simply press the voice
button on the steering wheel controls and
say the name of the Sirius station (such as,
"the Highway"). The following voice
commands are available at the top level of
the voice session no matter which current
audio source you are listening to (such as a
USB device or Sirius satellite radio).
Note:
This is only available when your
MyLincoln Touch system language is set to
North American English. Sample commands
"<87.9-107.9>""<530-1710>"
