GETTING STARTED
WITH YOUR SYNC SYSTEM
SYNC is a hands-free, voice recognition system used
for entertainment, information and communication.
SYNC. Say the Word.
Before You Get Started
1. Set up your owner account at www.owner.ford.com (U.S.)
or www.SyncMyRide.ca (Canada). Register by following the
on-screen instructions. After registering, you can get information
about new software updates.
2. SYNC uses a wireless connection called
Bluetooth® to
communicate with your cell phone. Switch Bluetooth mode on
in your phone’s menu options. This lets your phone find SYNC.
If you need more details on setting up your phone with SYNC,
call the toll-free number, visit the website or your phone
manufacturer’s website. See the inside front cover of this guide
for details.
Note: The system may prompt you to :
• Set your cell phone as the primary
or favorite (the primary phone
receives messages and voicemail).
• Download your phone book
(a requirement to use the full
set of voice commands).
• Switch on 911 Assist
®.
Tips
• Make sure you accept the request
from SYNC to access your phone.
• To pair subsequent phones, please
refer to your SYNC Supplement.
• If you experience pairing problems,
try performing a clean pairing by:
1) deleting your services from
SYNC; 2) deleting your phone
pairing from SYNC; and 3)
repeating the Pairing Your Cell
Phone with SYNC process.
Using Your Cell Phone
with SYNC
Note: You must download your phone
book to make phone calls with voice
commands by name.
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call
to anyone in your phone book by
pressing the voice button
and
when prompted, say any of the
following voice commands:
Call
Call
Call
For example, you could say Call Jake
Smith at home. SYNC repeats the
command back to you and dials
the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls
by giving the voice command Dial,
then verbally say the phone number.
Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call,
the name and number of the person
calling appears in your display. Press
the phone button
to answer an
incoming call. You can hang up at
any time by pressing and holding the
phone button
.
Do Not Disturb Mode
This feature blocks incoming calls
and text messages and saves them
for later. You still have access to
outgoing calls when this feature is
active. Say the voice command Do
not disturb on to enable and Do not
disturb off to disable.
Note: Using the display, you can
choose from privacy mode (listen
and talk through your phone) or open
mode (listen and talk through your
vehicle's speakers and microphone).

Folding Rear Seatback
with Adjustable Head Restraints
You can fold down the rear seatbacks for
more cargo space. To do this, make sure the
adjustable rear head restraints are in the lowest
position. Press and hold the release buttons
on the seatback and push the seatback
forward. When raising the seatback(s), make sure you hear the
seat latch into place. Pull down on the seatback to make sure it
has latched.
Automatic Climate Control*
Automatically control the temperature,
fan speed and airflow direction to reach
and maintain your selected temperature.
Press the AUTO button to switch the
automatic system on and off. Press OFF
to switch off the climate system.
Ambient Lighting
Lights the interior with a choice of several colors. The ambient
lighting control is in the center stack, under the climate
controls. Press and release the
button to cycle through
your color choices.
Ambient lighting turns on when the
ignition and headlamps are on.
PowerShift Automatic Transmission*
The 6-speed, dual-clutch automatic
transmission is designed to offer
drivers both enhanced fuel efficiency
and fun-to-drive performance.
The dual-clutch technology uses
electronically shifted clutches to operate
two separate transmissions, all in a
small, lightweight package.
Since the clutch and gear operation is
derived from a manual transmission, the
PowerShift automatic transmission will drive, sound, and feel
similar to manual transmission, minus the required user-inputs.
For example, the transmission may exhibit mechanical noises,
firm gear shifts and/or light clutch vibrations when accelerating
slowly as the clutches automatically engage. These are all
considered to be normal and expected driving characteristics.
See the Transmission chapter of your Owner's Manual
for details.
SelectShift Automatic Transmission*
This transmission gives you the ability to
manually change gears if you’d like.
To Use
• Move the gearshift lever from drive (D)
to sport (S).
• Activate SelectShift by using the thumb
toggle located on the side of your
gearshift lever to make manual shifts.
• Press the (+) button to upshift. Press
the (–) button to downshift.
Hill Start Assist*
The system makes it easier to pull away when you park your
vehicle on a slope without using the parking brake. When active,
this feature allows your vehicle to remain stationary on a slope
for up to two to three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This short period gives you time to move your foot to the
accelerator and pull away. This feature activates automatically
if the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope.

essential information
Fuel Tank Capacity
and Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon
(47L) fuel tank capacity.
We recommend regular
unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating
of 87. Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with
more than 15% ethanol.
Location of Spare
Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools
are beneath the carpeted
floor panel in the rear of
your vehicle.
• The spare tire is designed
for emergency use only
and should be replaced as
soon as possible.
• For complete details on
changing your tire, see the
Wheels and Tires chapter
in your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low
tire pressure warning light
in your instrument cluster
when one or more of your
tires are significantly under-
inflated. If this happens stop
and check your tires as soon
as possible. Inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to
the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Roadside Assistance
Your new Ford vehicle
comes with the assurance
and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside
assistance. To receive
roadside assistance in
the United States,
call 1-800-241-3673.
In Canada, call
1 -800-665-2006.
T owing Y our Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be
limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in
the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Easy Fuel System
To Use
• Park your vehicle, apply the emergency
brake and switch the ignition off.
• Open the fuel-filler door and slowly
insert the nozzle. Hold the handle higher
during insertion for easier access.
• Wait 5-10 seconds between the time the refueling nozzle
shuts off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to
allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
• When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the spare tire compartment) and pour the
fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with
the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean
the funnel after each use.
