Don’t: • Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods • Clean using a circular motion. CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Do not use any irregular shaped CDs or discs with a scratch protection film attached.

CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed.

Satellite Radio Reception Factors To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance: • Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception. • Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO SIGNAL to indicate the interference. SIRIUS姞 Satellite Radio Service Note: SIRIUS威 reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add or delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming changes. SIRIUS威 satellite radio is a subscription based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order to receive SIRIUS威 service. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory installed SIRIUS威 satellite radio system include hardware and a limited subscription term, which begins on the date of sale or lease of the vehicle. For information on extended subscription terms, the online media player and other SIRIUS威 features, please contact SIRIUS威 at 1–888–539–7474. Satellite Radio Electronic Serial Number (ESN) This 12–digit Satellite Serial Number is needed to activate, modify or track your satellite radio account. You will need this number when communicating with SIRIUS威. While in satellite radio mode, you can view this number on the radio display by pressing the Menu icon > SIRIUS > Show ESN. 54

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. • Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC威. See your authorized • 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. • Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with SYNC威. Privacy information When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC威, SYNC威 creates a profile within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate 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 SYNC威. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNC威 creates and retains an index of media content supported by SYNC威. SYNC威 also records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all recent SYNC威 activity. The log profile and other SYNC威 data may be used to improve SYNC威 and help diagnose any problems that may occur. The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you no longer plan to use SYNC威 or the vehicle, we recommend you perform a Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC威.

SYNC威 data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to the vehicle’s SYNC威 module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada will not access SYNC威 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™ (if equipped), Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and Information (if equipped).

Using your voice recognition system Your SYNC威 system comes equipped with an advanced voice recognition (VR) system. This system is easy to use and helps you control many features via voice commands, thereby allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in front of you. Here we’ll cover the basics of how the system works and some global voice commands. The majority of the voice commands will be covered later in the supplement with their respective modes (phone, media, etc.) and will also be indicated with the voice icon shown below.

Initiating a voice session

To initiate a voice session with your SYNC system: 1. Pull 2. Wait until you hear a tone prompt and Listening appears in the display. 3. Say any of the following global commands:

• “Phone”: Say to make calls. • “USB”: Say to access the device connected to your USB port. • “Bluetooth Audio”: Say to stream audio from your phone. • “Line in” : Say to access the device connected to the auxiliary input jack. • “Cancel”: Say to cancel the requested action. • “SYNC”: Say to return to the main menu. • “Voice settings”: Say to adjust the level of voice interaction and feedback. • “Help”: Say for an audible list of voice commands available in the current mode.

60

2012 Focus (foc) Owners Guide, 5th Printing USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

• “Vehicle Health Report” (if equipped, U.S. only): Say to run a health report. • “ Services” (if equipped, U.S. only): Say to access the SYNC Services portal.

System interaction and feedback The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of interaction (voice settings). You can customize your VR system to provide more or less instruction and feedback. The default setting is to a higher level of interaction in order to be of more help when you are first using the system. You can change these settings at any time. Adjusting the interaction level 1. Pull 2. You can say any of the following commands:

and when prompted, say, “Voice settings”.

• “Interaction mode standard” / “Interaction mode advanced” Standard interaction provides more detailed interaction and guidance while advanced has less audible interaction and more tone prompts. The system defaults to the standard setting. • “Confirmation prompts on” / “Confirmation prompts off” Confirmation prompts are short questions the system asks when it is not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses to your request. (For example, the system may ask, “Phone, is that correct?”) If turned off, the system will simply make a best guess as to what you requested and you may still occasionally be asked to confirm settings. • “Phone candidate lists on” / “Phone candidate lists off” • “Media candidate lists on” / “ Media candidate lists off” The system creates candidate lists when it has the same confidence level of several options based on your voice command. When turned on, the system may submit back as many as four possibilities for clarification. For example, “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.” Or, “Say 1 after the tone to play John Doe, Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.

Using SYNC姞’s phone features One of the main features of SYNC is hands-free calling which works in conjunction with your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone. In this section, we’ll cover your phone features in menu mode, applicable voice commands and also any additional options you may have. Phone dependent features While SYNC威 supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the functionality of your cell phone with Bluetooth威 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 or www.syncmaroute.ca.

If you do not hear 911 Assist™ within 5 seconds after the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or non-functional.

The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation. Additionally, every cell phone operates differently. While SYNC威, 911 Assist™ works with most cell phones, some may have trouble using this feature. Finally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or, in certain vehicles, activate the fuel pump shut-off which are the criteria to initiate 911 Assist™. Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911
Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag deployment, see the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter of your Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger, check the Roadside Emergency chapter in your Owner’s Guide. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911
Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch”, it will not trigger 911 Assist™.

WARNING: Always place cell phone in a secure location to prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from functioning properly.

911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled (set to ON), 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist™ may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not enable (set to ON) the feature. Note: If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled (set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNC威 at vehicle start up. In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the activation of the fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, SYNC威 is designed to assist occupants in attempting to contact emergency services by dialing 911 through the occupant’s paired and connected Bluetooth enabled cellular phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC威, SYNC威 will search for and connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to place the call to 911. Before initiating the call, SYNC威 provides a short window of time (approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and or PHONE on the steering wheel controls or on the audio holding system. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC威 will say the following or a similar message: “SYNC威 will attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and hold the phone button.” If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator. Note: Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC威 dialing 911. Note: When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
