911 Assist (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before a crash, the system will not dial
for help, which could delay response time,
potentially increasing the risk of serious
injury or death after a crash. Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it yourself.
Dial emergency services immediately to
avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death
after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist
within five seconds of the crash, the system
or phone may be damaged or non-functional. Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or damaged in a crash.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury to
someone or damage the phone, which could
prevent 911 Assist from working properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident. 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 43). Important information regarding
airbag deployment is in this chapter.
See
Roadside Emergencies (page 247).
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:

or verbally disclosing to 911 operators your
vehicle location or other details about your
vehicle or crash to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this
information, do not turn the feature on.
Vehicle Health Report (If Equipped)
WARNING
Always follow scheduled maintenance
instructions, regularly inspect your
vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Report
supplements, but cannot replace, normal
maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle
Health Report only monitors certain systems
electronically monitored by your vehicle and
will not monitor or report the status of any
other system, (such as brake lining wear).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may result
in vehicle damage and serious injury. Note:
This feature is only available in the
United States. Note:
Your Vehicle Health Report feature
requires activation prior to use. Visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com to register. There is
no fee or subscription associated with
Vehicle Health Report, but you must register
to use this feature.
Note: This feature may not function properly
if you have enabled caller ID blocking on
your cellular phone. Before running a report,
review the Vehicle Health Report Privacy
Notice.
Note: In order to allow a break-in period for
your vehicle, you may not be able to create
a Vehicle Health Report until your vehicle
odometer has reached 200 miles.
Note: Cellular phone and SMS charges may
apply when making a report. Register for Vehicle Health Report and set
your report preferences at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. After registering,
you can request a Vehicle Health Report
(inside your vehicle). Return to your account
at www.SYNCMyRide.com to view your
report. You can also choose for SYNC to
remind you automatically to run reports at
specific mileage intervals. Cellular phone
airtime usage may apply when reporting.
The system allows you to check your
vehicle
’s overall health in the form of a
diagnostic report card. The Vehicle Health
Report contains valuable information, such
as:
• Vehicle diagnostic information
• Scheduled maintenance
• Open recalls and Field Service Actions
• Items noted during vehicle inspections
by your authorized dealer that still need
servicing.
Making a Report If you want to run a report by using
the touchscreen, touch

Read and follow instructions: Before using
your Windows Automotive- based system,
read and follow all instructions and safety
information provided in this end user manual
("User's Guide"). Not following precautions
found in this User's Guide can lead to an
accident or other serious consequences.
Keep User's Guide in vehicle: When kept in
the vehicle, the User's Guide will be a ready
reference for you and other users unfamiliar
with the Windows Automotive-based system.
Please make certain that before using the
system for the first time, all persons have
access to the User's Guide and read its
instructions and safety information carefully. WARNING
Operating certain parts of this system
while driving can distract your attention
away from the road, and possibly cause an
accident or other serious consequences. Do
not change system settings or enter data
non-verbally (using your hands) while driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations. This is
important since while setting up or changing
some functions you might be required to
distract your attention away from the road
and remove your hands from the wheel. 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.
