Privacy Information
When you connect a cell phone to SYNC,
the system creates a profile within your
vehicle that links to that cell phone. This
profile helps in offering you more cellular
features and operating more efficiently.
Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cell 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 log profile and other system data
may be used 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 your
cell phone or media player is connected. If
you no longer plan to use the system or your
vehicle, we recommend you carry out 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 without 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.

A

The display is located on the right side of
your instrument cluster (A). You can use your
steering wheel controls 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, select memory presets and make
some adjustments.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or reject
an incoming call.
• If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, you can view the current
route or activate a route.
• In Efficiency Leaves mode, you can learn
how your vehicle informs you of your
driving efficiency. Press OK to exit the
menu. Use the
OK and arrow buttons on the right
side of your steering wheel to scroll through
the available modes.
The selection menu expands and different
options appear.
• Press the up and down arrows to scroll
through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to make
adjustments within the chosen mode.
• Press
OK to confirm your selection. 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).
Using Voice Commands
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.

Help Helpful Hints
•
Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing the voice command icon,
wait until after the tone sounds and a
message appears before saying a voice
command. Any voice command spoken
prior to this does not register with the
system.
• Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system
while it is speaking by pressing the voice
command icon.
