Note:
Before setting this feature on, make
sure that you read the 911 Assist Privacy Notice
later in this section for important information.
Note: If any user turns 911 Assist on or off, that
setting applies for all paired phones. If 911
Assist is turned off, either a voice message
plays or a display message (or icon) comes
on (or both) when your vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently. While
SYNC 911 Assist works with most cellular
phones, some may have trouble using this
feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee
airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if
equipped]) or activates the fuel pump
shut-off, your SYNC-equipped vehicle may
be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected
Bluetooth-enabled phone. You can learn
more about the 911 Assist feature, visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 36). Important information regarding
airbag deployment is in this chapter. See
Roadside Emergencies (page 207).
Important information regarding the fuel
pump shut-off is in this chapter.
Setting 911 Assist On If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, touch the i
(Information) button to access
these features. If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, touch the corner of the
touchscreen with the green tab.
Touch
Apps > 911 Assist, then select On. You can also access 911 Assist by:
• Pressing the Settings icon >
Settings >
Phone > 911 Assist, or
• Pressing the Settings icon >
Help > 911
Assist.
To make sure that 911 Assist works properly:
• SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on prior
to the incident.
• You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone to SYNC. •
A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time of
the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network coverage,
battery power and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery power and
be located in the United States, Canada
or in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate
the fuel pump shut-off (which would trigger
911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to contact
emergency services if 911 Assist triggers. If a
connected phone sustains damage or loses
connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and
tries to connect to, any available previously
paired phone and tries to make the call to
911.

General Operation
Voice Command Control: Functions within
the Windows Automotive-based system may
be accomplished using only voice
commands. Using voice commands while
driving allows you to operate the system
without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen:
Do not access
any function requiring a prolonged view of
the screen while you are driving. Pull over in
a safe and legal manner before attempting
to access a function of the system requiring
prolonged attention. Even occasional short
scans to the screen may be hazardous if your
attention has been diverted away from your
driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting:
Do not raise the volume
excessively. Keep the volume at a level where
you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving while
unable to hear these sounds could cause an
accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions:
Speech recognition software is inherently a
statistical process which is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor any speech
recognition functions included in the system
and address any errors. Navigation Features:
Any navigation
features included in the system are intended
to provide turn by turn instructions to get you
to a desired destination. Please make certain
all persons using this system carefully read
and follow instructions and safety
information fully.
Distraction Hazard: Any navigation features
may require manual (non-verbal) setup.
Attempting to perform such set-up or insert
data while driving can seriously distract your
attention and could cause an accident or
other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle
in a safe and legal manner before attempting
these operations.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: Any navigation
features are provided only as an aid. Make
your driving decisions based on your
observations of local conditions and existing
traffic regulations. Any such feature is not a
substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by this system
should never replace any local traffic
regulations or your personal judgment or
knowledge of safe driving practices. Route Safety: Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you would be
placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would
be directed into an area that you consider
unsafe. The driver is ultimately responsible
for the safe operation of the vehicle and
therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe
to follow the suggested directions.
Potential Map Inaccuracy:
Maps used by
this system may be inaccurate because of
changes in roads, traffic controls or driving
conditions. Always use good judgment and
common sense when following the
suggested routes.
Emergency Services:
Do not rely on any
navigation features included in the system
to route you to emergency services. Ask local
authorities or an emergency services operator
for these locations. Not all emergency
services such as police, fire stations, hospitals
and clinics are likely to be contained in the
map database for such navigation features.
