Using the Touch-Sensitive
Controls on Your System

To turn a feature on and off, just touch the
graphic with your finger. To get the best
performance from the touch-sensitive
controls:

•

Do not press hard on the controls. They
are sensitive to light touch.

•

Use your bare finger to touch the center
of a touch-control graphic. Touching
off-center of the graphic may affect
operation of a nearby control.

•

Make sure your hands are clean and
dry.

•

Since the touchscreen operates based
on the touch of a finger, you may have
trouble using it if you are wearing
gloves.

•

Keep metal and other conductive
material away from the surface of the
touchscreen as this may cause
electronic interference (for example,
inadvertently turning on a feature other
than the one you meant to turn on).

Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these controls
on your bezel:

•

Power: Switch the media or climate
features off and on.

•

VOL: Control the volume of playing
media.

•

Fan: Control the speed of the climate
system fan.

•

Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you
normally would in media modes.

•

Eject: Eject a CD from the
entertainment system.

•

SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly
to see all available media modes. The
screen does not change, but you see
the media change in the lower left
status bar.

•

SOUND: Touch the word to access the
Sound menu where you can adjust
settings such as: Bass, Treble,
Midrange, Balance and Fade, DSP
(Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated
Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)

•

Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard
flashers off and on.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Display

Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used
for cleaning glasses. If dirt or fingerprints
are still visible, apply a small amount of
alcohol to the cloth. Do not pour or spray
alcohol onto the display. Do not use
detergent or any type of solvent to clean
the display.

Safety Information

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

•

Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.

•

Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.

•

Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's user guide for further
information.

•

For your safety, some SYNC functions
are speed-dependent. Their use is
limited to when your vehicle is traveling
at speeds under 3 mph (5 km/h).

Make sure that you review your device's
manual before using it with SYNC.

Speed-restricted Features

Some features of this system may be too
difficult to use while your vehicle is moving
so they are restricted from use unless your
vehicle is stationary.

•

Screens crowded with information,
such as Point of Interest reviews and
ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link sports
scores, movie times or ski conditions.

•

Any action that requires you to use a
keyboard is restricted, such as entering
a navigation destination or editing
information.

•

All lists are limited so the user can view
fewer entries (such as phone contacts
or recent phone call entries).

See the following chart for more specific
examples.

Privacy Information

When you connect a cellular phone to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that links to that cellular
phone. This profile helps in offering you
more cellular features and operating 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 the system. In addition, if you
connect a media device, the system
creates and retains an index of supported
media content. The system also records a
short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent system activity.
The log profile and other system data may
be used to improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may occur.

The cellular profile, media device index,
and development log remain in your
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in your vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or your vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.

System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada do not
access the system 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,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic,
Directions and Information.
