Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles have more advanced features than ever, making them more accommodating, more convenient and more fun to drive
SYNC
SYNC®1, an optional feature powered by Microsoft®, does more than voice-activate your MP3 player and cell phone – it monitors your vehicle’s health via a Vehicle Health Report, gives occupants peace of mind with 911 Assist™2 and will provide real-time traffic conditions, turn-by-turn directions and other information via a simple voice command3.
1SYNC: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice command, when it is safe to do so.
2911 Assist™: The vehicle’s electrical system (including the battery), the wireless service provider’s signal and a connected mobile phone all must be available and operating for 911 Assist to function properly. These systems may become damaged in a crash. The paired mobile phone must be connected to SYNC and the 911 Assist feature enabled in order for 911 to be dialed.
