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:
• 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.
Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call. If
you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts
to dial 911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call 911,
to cancel the call, press Cancel on your
screen or press and hold the phone
button on your steering wheel." If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and then
the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location
immediately, because not all 911 systems are
capable of receiving this information
electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC system
has no power.
• The phones(s) previously paired or
connected to the system are thrown from
the vehicle.
911 Assist Privacy Notice
When you turn on 911 Assist, it may disclose
to emergency services that your vehicle has
been in a crash involving the deployment of
an airbag or activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of electronically
