the Seek Up (>>|) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power button. After
approximately 5 seconds the screen will go black. Allow 1-2 minutes for the system
reset to complete. You may then resume using the SYNC 3 system.

vehicle:
•
When adding accessories, equipment,

in your vehicle should comply with
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and should be

harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if their manufacturer did
not design them specifically for
automotive use.
• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford custom electrical or
electronic accessories or components
to your vehicle, you may adversely
affect battery performance and
durability, and may adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
