Introduction
WHAT IS SYNC?
Thank you for purchasing SYNC!
SYNC is a hands-free communications and entertainment system that
literally ‘syncs up’ with all other multimedia systems in your vehicle.
SYNC delivers convenience with voice activated calling and hands-free
conversations, digital media player command and control as well as easy
to use voice commands. The world outside your vehicle cabin may be
chaotic, but inside, with SYNC, it’s always a smooth ride. All you have to
do is sync it and stow it. We’ll take care of the rest.
Welcome to the new world of ingenuity and passion - technology that is
both fun and functional. Welcome to SYNC.
For more information, please visit www.SyncMyRide.com.

Introduction
SAFETY INFORMATION
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. 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.
PHONE DEPENDENT FEATURES
While SYNC supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the
functionality of your cell phone with Bluetootht 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 phone’s user manual and
visit www.SyncMyRide.com.
See End User License Agreement at the end of this book
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’.
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.” (listen tone)

Voice recognition system overview
USING VOICE COMMANDS WITH SYNC
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled
. Press to activate Voice Recognition. You will hear a
either VOICE or
tone and LISTENING will appear in the radio display signaling that the
system is ready to accept your command. Speak the command clearly to
ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired
function.
For the best voice recognition performance:
• Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing VOICE or
, wait until the tone sounds and
LISTENING appears in the radio display before speaking a command.
Any command spoken prior to this will not register with the system.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing VOICE or
. The system will respond with a listening tone
and allow you to speak a command.
• Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.

• Phone
• Voice settings
• Cancel
• Help

See End User License Agreement at the end of this book
Voice recognition system overview
Commands for voice settings
In voice settings, you can customize the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system default settings include standard interaction as
well as candidate lists and confirmation prompts as all provide the most
guidance and feedback.
At any time, while in voice settings, you may say these commands
to adjust the voice settings:
• Interaction mode advanced
• Interaction mode standard
• Confirmation prompts on
• Confirmation prompts off
• Media candidate lists on
• Media candidate lists off
• Phone candidate lists on
• Phone candidate lists off
Interaction mode standard/advanced: Standard interaction mode
provides more detailed interaction and guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction and more tone prompts.
Confirmation prompts on/off: Confirmation prompts are short
questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly heard or
understood your request. Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned
OFF, you may be asked to confirm settings occasionally.
Phone/media candidate lists on/off: Candidate lists are a list of
possible results from your voice commands. These occur when SYNC has
equal confidence of several possible results from your voice command.
For voice commands available in SYNC phone mode, refer to Voice
commands in phone mode in the Phone chapter.
For voice commands available in SYNC media mode, refer to Voice
commands in media mode in the Media chapter.

VOICE COMMANDS IN MEDIA MODE
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use
extreme caution when using cell phones, even with voice commands.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their vehicle.
Only use media and other devices not essential to the driving task
when it is safe to do so.
Voice commands when using the USB port
When using the USB port, you may say any of the following
commands:
• Play all
• Play
• Pause
• What’s playing?
• Connections
• Play next track
• Play previous track
• Play next folder2
• Folder
• Play previous folder2
• Autoplay on
• Autoplay off
• Repeat off

• Similar music
• Play track 1
• Search artist 1
• Search genre 1
• Search track 
• Search album 1
• Refine album 
• Refine artist 1
• Refine track 
Voice commands are not available until indexing is complete.
Voice commands only available in folder mode. For more information,
refer to Exploring the USB device later in this chapter.
Note: In the above possible commands, “” is a dynamic listing in
that it could be the name of any desired group, artist, etc.
Autoplay: With this feature ON, SYNC allows you to listen to music
which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process.
With this feature OFF, SYNC will not begin to play any of your music
until all media has all been indexed.
36
See End User License Agreement at the end of this book
SYNC media features
Note: The larger the number of songs the system has to index, the
longer indexing will take. Indexing times can vary from device to device.
Search/Play Genre: You can search for and play a specific genre (type)
of music. SYNC will search all the data from your indexed music and, if
available, will begin to play that type of music.
Note: You can only play genres of music which are present in the
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.
Similar music: You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what
you are currently playing from the USB port. SYNC will use the metadata
information of each indexed song to compile a playlist for you.
Search/play artist/track/album: You can search for a specific
artist/track or album from the music SYNC has indexed through the USB
port.
Refine: This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For
example, if you told SYNC to search and play all music by a certain
artist, you could then tell SYNC to “refine album” and choose a specific
album from the list to view. If you then select ‘Play’, the system will only
play music from that specific album.

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: iPodt, 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.
