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
system uses a log profile and other data 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 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 Vehicle Information Display
The display is located on the right side 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 (such as AM, FM and CD) and
scroll through memory presets.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or reject
an incoming call, or make a call by
choosing from select menus within the
Phone menu.
• If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, you can view the current route
or cancel a route. 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). Audio Sources and Memory Presets Use the OK and arrow buttons on the right
side of your steering wheel to scroll through
the available modes.

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>"

The multicast indicator appears in FM mode
(only) if the current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers signify available digital channels
where new or different content is available.
HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to download
later when you are on an acquired HD Radio
station and the feature is on. To turn the
feature on and use it:
1. Press
AM or FM > Options > TAG
Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG
. 3. The system automatically saves the
song's information and transfers it to your
portable music player (if supported)
when you connect it to the system. The
system automatically transfers the tag
to your player (if already connected) and
a pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes with your portable music player, the tags appear
to you as a reminder. The system allows
you to tag up to approximately 100 songs.
For a list of devices that support tagging,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca. When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
can access the following functions:
•
Scan
allows you to hear a brief sampling
of all available stations. This feature still
works when HD Radio reception is on,
although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital
broadcast.
• Memory presets
allow you to save an
active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot
until the sound returns. There is a brief
mute while the radio saves the station.
Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory
preset, the sound mutes before the digital
audio plays, because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
Note: As with any saved radio station, you
cannot access the saved station if your vehicle
is outside the station ’s reception area.
