WHAT IS SYNC?
Introduction
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving and that you comply with all applicable laws.
Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC. See your authorized
dealer.
Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where
they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals,
seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it
could cause damage to your device. Refer to your devices user guide
for further information.
For your safety, some SYNC functions are speed dependent and
cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Ensure that you review your devices user guide before using with
SYNC.
PRIVACY INFORMATION
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC, SYNC creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to
SYNC. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNC creates and
retains an index of media content supported by SYNC. SYNC also
records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all
recent SYNC activity. The log profile and other SYNC data may be
used to improve SYNC and help diagnose any problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use SYNC or the vehicle, we recommend you perform
a Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC.

Introduction
SYNC data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicles SYNC module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada
will not access SYNC data for any purpose other than as described
absent 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 (if equipped),
Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).
PHONE DEPENDENT FEATURES
While SYNC supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon
the functionality of your cell phone with Bluetooth wireless technology.
At a minimum, most cellular phones with Bluetooth wireless technology
support the following functions:
Answering an incoming call
Ending a call
Using privacy mode
Dial a number
Redial
Call waiting notification
Caller ID
Other features, such as text messaging via Bluetooth, and automatic
phone book download are phone dependent features. To ensure that you
have a compatible cellular phone, refer to your phones user manual and
visit www.SyncMyRide.com.
SYNC VOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
SYNC is equipped with an advanced interactive Voice Recognition (VR)
system. This system allows you to perform many operations by
speaking certain commands to the system. The system will respond
with a series of audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken
confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of
dialogue interaction.
Introduction
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may
hear a tone at the following times:
When you press VOICE or
Introduction
Clarification through candidate lists
Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options
of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will
submit back to you as many as four possibilities for your clarification.
This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.
Example #1:
You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, Call John Doe at home.
If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may
respond with:
(initial tone) Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to
call Jane Doe at home. (listen tone)
Example #2:
You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, Play Artist John. If the
system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may
respond with:
(initial tone) Say 1 after the tone to play John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to play Johnny Doe. (listen tone)

Selecting from different genres
SYNC allows you to sort indexed music by genre (category) type.
SYNC will automatically categorize your indexed music according to the
available genres. If you have fewer than 255 indexed genres, SYNC will
list them alphabetically in flat file mode. If there are more than
255 indexed genres, SYNC will organize them into quick select
alphabetical categories (i.e., AAAAA-MMMMM and MMMMN-ZZZZZ). The
number of categories will depend on the number of indexed genres.

Glossary
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Autoplay: With Autoplay turned ON, SYNC allows you to listen to
music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing
process. With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to
play until all of the music has been indexed by SYNC. Depending on the
size of the material, this may take a few minutes.
Bluetooth enabled cellular phone: Any cellular phone which has the
Bluetooth wireless technology which will enable the phone to connect
with SYNC and exchange information wirelessly.
Digital media player / USB Device: This is a generic term used to
signify any of the following media devices: iPod, Zune, Plays from
device players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN
drives, etc.)
Discoverable mode: A mode which allows other Bluetooth enabled
devices to find your Bluetooth enabled device.
Discovery mode: A mode which allows your Bluetooth enabled device
to search for other discoverable Bluetooth enabled devices.
In-band ringing: This is a phone dependent feature. If your Bluetooth
enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNC can play your ring
tone during incoming calls.
Indexing: A process in which SYNC builds a voice recognition grammar
for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing,
SYNC will play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice
recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is
complete.
Metadata: Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which
provide SYNC with information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and
TRACK.
Pairing: To use your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with SYNC, you
must go through a pairing (bonding) process. Pairing is a special
process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing
process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication
purposes during subsequent Bluetooth connections between the two
devices.
PIN (Personal Identification number): This six digit number
(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with your Bluetooth enabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
