Ford strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their focus off the road. The driver's primary responsibility is the safe operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so. · 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 device's 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 (4.82 km/h). · Ensure that you review your device's user guide before using with SYNC.

To ensure that you have a compatible cellular phone, refer to your phone's user manual and visit www.SyncMyRide.com. See End User License Agreement at the end of this book 5 Introduction 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. 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 on your steering wheel controls. · When you access the help feature. · When the VR system does not understand your request · When a VR session is completed successfully · When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully · When a speed dependent feature has been accessed · When a new device is connected SYNC has five different audible tones that will play depending on the circumstance. · Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode. · Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session completion. · Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed. · Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command. · Help: Sounds when you ask for `Help'. 6 See End User License Agreement at the end of this book Introduction Confirmation prompts Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly understood your request or when there are many possible responses to your request. For example, if you have Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, "Phone, is that correct?". The system will then listen for a "Yes" or "No" confirmation from you. If you say "Yes", the system will proceed. If you say "No", the system will ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts OFF, the system will simply make a best guess as to what you requested. If the system has a low confidence level of what was asked, it will prompt you to try again or ask for help. Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to confirm certain settings occasionally. 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, "Search 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 search John Doe. Say 2 after the tone to search Johnny Doe."
