Safety Information
WARNING
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 or feature that may take
their focus off the road. Your primary
responsibility is the safe operation of the
vehicle. We recommend against the use
of any handheld device while driving,
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you
become aware of applicable state and
local laws that may affect use of electronic
devices while driving.
When using SYNC:
•
Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Carefully place cords and
cables where they cannot be stepped
on or interfere with the operation of
pedals, seats, compartments or safe
driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in the
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. Refer to
your device's user guide for further
information.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See your authorized dealer.
• For your safety, some SYNC functions
are speed-dependent and cannot be
performed when the vehicle is traveling
at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device's
user guide before using it with SYNC.
Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too
difficult to use while the vehicle is in
motion so they're restricted from being
modified unless the vehicle is not moving.
Some examples of these are listed below:
•
Screens that are too crowded with
information, such as Point of Interest
(POI) reviews and ratings, SIRIUS
Travel Link sports scores, movie times,
ski conditions, etc.
• Any action that requires using a
keyboard, such as entering a navigation
destination or editing information
• All lists are limited so the user can view
fewer entries (e.g. phone contacts,
recent phone call entries)

that can only be modified while the vehicle
is not moving:
