911 Assist® (If Equipped) WARNING:Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on before a crash, the system will not dial for help, which could delay response time, potentially increasing the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an emergency call if you can do it yourself. Dial emergency services immediately to avoid delayed response time, which could increase the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds of the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or non-functional. WARNING:Always place your phone in a secure location in your vehicle so it does not become a projectile or damaged in a crash. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or damage the phone, which could prevent 911 Assist from working properly. Note:The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be set on prior to the incident. Note:Before setting this feature on, make sure that you read the 911 Assist privacy notice later in this section for important information. Note:If any user turns 911 Assist on or off, that setting applies for all paired phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, either a voice message plays or a display message (or icon) comes on (or both) when your vehicle is started after a previously paired phone connects. Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC 911 Assist works with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature. If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if equipped]) or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone. You can learn more about the 911 Assist feature, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com, www.SYNCMyRide.ca or www.syncmaroute.ca. •For information on airbag deployment, see theSupplementary Restraints Systemchapter. •For information on the fuel pump shut-off, see theRoadside Emergencieschapter.

Setting 911 Assist On Press the Information button > Apps > 911 Assist, then select On. You can also access 911 Assist by: •Pressing the Settings icon > Settings > Phone > 911 Assist, or •Pressing the Settings icon > Help > 911 Assist. To Make Sure that 911 Assist Works Properly •SYNC must be powered and working properly at the time of the incident and throughout feature activation and use. •The 911 Assist feature must be set on before the incident. •You must pair and connect a Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone to SYNC. •A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have the ability to make and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident. •A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have adequate network coverage, battery power and signal strength. •The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S., Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number. In the Event of a Crash Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off (which would trigger 911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to contact emergency services if 911 Assist triggers. If a connected phone sustains damage or loses connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries to connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to make the call to 911. Before making the call: •SYNC provides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel the call. If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts to dial 911. •SYNC says the following, or a similar message: “SYNC will attempt to call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press and hold the phone button on your steering wheel.” If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC makes a successful call, a pre-recorded message plays for the 911 operator, and then the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically. 506MyFord Touch® (If Equipped) 2013 F-250/350/450/550(f23) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing USA(fus)
911 Assist May Not Work If •Your cellular phone or 911 Assist hardware sustains damage in a crash. •The vehicle’s battery or SYNC system has no power. •The phone(s) thrown from your vehicle are the ones paired and connected to the system. 911 Assist Privacy Notice When you turn on 911 Assist, it may disclose to emergency services that your vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators your vehicle location or other details about your vehicle or crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not turn the feature on.
