iency.
Note:
In certain conditions (for example, Max Defrost), the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate\
even when you
switch the air conditioning A/C button off.
Recirculated air:
Touch to switch the recirculated air on or off. When recirculated air is on, it may reduce the amount of time needed
to cool down the interior (when used with A/C) and help reduce odors f\
rom reaching the interior.
Note:
Recirculatied air may turn off automatically (or the system may preventi\
t from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C
to reduce risk of fogging. It may also turn on and off automatically in \
Panel or Panel/Floor airflow modes during hot weather in order
to improve cooling efficiency.

Enabling SYNC 3 Mobile Apps
In order to enable mobile apps, SYNC 3
requires user consent to send and receive
app authorization information and updates
using the data plan associated with the
connected device.
The connected device sends data to Ford in
the United States. The information is
encrypted and includes your VIN, SYNC 3
module number, odometer, usage statistics
and debugging information. We retain this
data for only as long as necessary to provide
this service, troubleshoot, and improve
products and services and to offer you
products and services that may interest you
where allowed by law. Note:
You must enable mobile apps for each
connected device the first time you select a
mobile app using the system.
Note: Ford reserves the right to limit
functionality or deactivate mobile apps at
any time.
Note: Standard data rates apply. Ford is not
responsible for any additional charges you
may receive from your service provider,
when your vehicle sends or receives data
through the connected device. This includes
any additional charges incurred due to
driving in areas when roaming out of a home
network.
You can enable and disable apps through
settings. See Settings (page 442).
App Permissions
The system organizes the App permissions
into groups. You can grant these group
permissions individually. You can change a
permission group status any time when not
driving, by using the settings menu. While in
the settings menu, you can also see the data
included in each group.
