    							SYNC™ APPLICATIONS AND
    SERVICES (If Equipped)
    In order for the following features to work,
    your cellular phone must be compatible
    with SYNC. To check your phone's
    compatibility, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
    www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
    www.syncmaroute.ca.
    • 911 Assist: Can alert 911 in the event of
    an emergency.
    • SYNC AppLink: Allows you to connect
    to and use certain applications such as
    Spotify and Glympse (if your phone is
    compatible).
    These features may require activation.
    Available AppLink enabled apps vary by
    market.
    911 Assist WARNINGS
    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. 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. Always place your phone in a secure
    location in your vehicle so it does not
    become a projectile or get 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 before the incident.
    Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature only
    operates in the U.S., Canada or in a territory
    in which 911 is the emergency number.
    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 switches 911 Assist to on
    or off, that setting applies for all paired
    phones. If 911 Assist is switched off, either
    a voice message plays or a display message
    or an icon comes on when your vehicle is
    started and 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 (excluding
    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.
    See 
    Supplementary Restraints System
    (page 45).  Important information about
    airbag deployment is in this chapter.
    See 
    Roadside Emergencies (page 293).
    Important information about the fuel pump
    shut-off is in this chapter.

    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
    cell 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 (the triggers for 911
    Assist). If a connected cell phone sustains
    damage or loses its connection to SYNC
    during a crash, SYNC searches for and tries
    to connect to a previously paired cell
    phone; SYNC then attempts to call the
    emergency services.
    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.
    911 Assist May Not Work If
    • Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
    hardware sustains damage in a crash.
    • The vehicle's battery or the 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 switch 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 switch the feature on.
    SYNC Mobile Apps
    The system enables voice and steering
    wheel control of SYNC AppLink enabled
    smartphone apps. When an app is running
    through AppLink, you can control main
    features of the app through voice
    commands and steering wheel controls.
    Note:
    You must pair and connect your
    smartphone to SYNC to access AppLink.
    Note: iPhone users need to connect the
    phone to the USB port.
    Note: Android users need to connect the
    phone to SYNC using Bluetooth.
    Note: For information on available apps,
    supported smartphone devices and
    troubleshooting tips please visit the Ford
    website.
    Availability of SYNC AppLink enabled Apps
    will vary by region. Note:
    Make sure you have an active account
    for the app that you have downloaded.
    Some apps work automatically with no
    setup. Other apps want you to configure
    your personal settings and personalize your
    experience by creating stations or favorites.
    We recommend you do this at home or
    outside of your vehicle.
    Note: AppLink is not available if your
    vehicle is equipped with the MyFordTouch
    system.

    information to the app such as, but not
    limited to: Fuel level, fuel economy, fuel
    consumption, engine speed, rain
    sensor, odometer, VIN, external
    temperature, gear position, tire

    may be particularly useful for news or location based apps.
    Note: You only need to grant permissions
    the first time you use an app with SYNC.

    Data is sent to Ford in the United States
    through the connected device. The
    information is encrypted and includes your
    VIN, SYNC module number, anonymous
    usage statistics and debugging
    information. Updates may take place
    automatically. Note:
    You must enable mobile apps for
    each connected device the first time you

    Note: Standard data rates apply. Ford is
    not responsible for any additional charges
    you may receive from your service provider,
