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威 allows you to listen to music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process. With this feature OFF, SYNC威 will not begin to play any of your music until all media has all been indexed. 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威 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威 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威 has indexed through the USB port. Refine: This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For example, if you told SYNC威 to search and play all music by a certain artist, you could then tell SYNC威 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.

Issue

SYNC does not understand what I am saying.

SYNC does not understand the name of a song or artist.

Entertainment Systems

Possible Solution(s)

Voice command issues Possible Cause(s) • You may be using the wrong voice commands. • You may be speaking too soon or at the wrong time. • You may be using the wrong voice commands. • You may not be saying the name exactly as it is saved. • The system may not be “reading” the name the same way you are saying it.

• Review the Phone voice commands and the Media voice commands at the beginning of their respective chapters. • Be aware that SYNC’s microphone is either in your rear mirror or in the headliner just above the windshield. • Review the media voice commands at the beginning of the media chapter. • Say the song or artist exactly as they are listed. If you say, “Play Artist Prince”, the system will not play music by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the New Power Generation. • Ensure that you are saying the complete title such as “California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles”. • If the songs are saved in all CAPS, you will have to spell them. LOLA will require you to say, “ Play L-O-L-A” • Don’t use special characters in the title as the system will not recognize them.

103

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

Entertainment Systems

Issue

SYNC does not understand or is calling the wrong contact when I want to make a call.

Possible Solution(s)

Voice command issues Possible Cause(s) • You may be using the wrong voice commands. • You may not be saying the name exactly as it is saved. • Contacts in your phonebook may be very short and similar, or they may contain special characters. • Your phonebook contacts may be saved in CAPS.

• Review the phone voice commands at the beginning of the phone chapter. • Ensure that you are saying the contacts exactly as they are listed. For example, if a contact is saved as Joe Wilson, say, “Call Joe Wilson”. • The system does better if you list full names such as “Joe Wilson” rather than “Joe”. • Don’t use special characters such as 123 or ICE as the system will not recognize them. • If contacts are saved in CAPS, you will have to spell them. JAKE will require you to say, “ Call J-A-K-E.”

Helpful Hints • 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. • Ensure that you are speaking naturally and without any large pauses between words. • After you pull

to begin a voice session, wait until the prompt

sounds and Listening appears in the display. Anything spoken prior to this will not register with the system.

• You can, at any time, interrupt the system while it is speaking by during an active voice session. The system will respond

pulling with a listening prompt and allow you to speak a command.

• For a list of available voice commands, you can pull

and say,

“Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands available in your current mode.

• The system’s microphone is either located in your rear view mirror or

in the headliner just above your windshield. Ensure that the microphone area is kept free of obstructions.

Glossary of terms Autoplay: With Autoplay turned ON, SYNC威 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威. 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威 and exchange information wirelessly. Digital media player / USB Device: This is a generic term used to signify any of the following media devices: iPod威, 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威 can play your ring tone during incoming calls. Indexing: A process in which SYNC威 builds a voice recognition grammar for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing, SYNC威 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威 with information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and TRACK. Pairing: To use your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with SYNC威, 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.

Lamp assembly condensation Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. Examples of acceptable condensation are: • Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets) • Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens

126

Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water leak) are: • Water puddle inside the lamp • Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of

the lens

Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of unacceptable moisture are present.

Using the right bulbs Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility.

Move the control up one

position for intermittent operation. Adjust the rotary control to the desired speed. Move the control up two positions for low-speed wiping or three positions for high-speed wiping. The wipers may be moved manually with the ignition off. They may automatically return to their normal position when the ignition is turned on. When wiping on dry glass, the wipers may switch to the next lower operating mode (low-speed or intermittent). The previous operation mode may resume after the windshield becomes wet again. Rain-sensing wipers (if equipped) The rain-sensing wipers will automatically activate when moisture is present on the windshield and control is intermittent operation position. Adjust the rotary control to the desired moisture sensitivity settings. The speed of the rain-sensitive wipers will vary based on the amount of moisture detected on the windshield and the sensitivity setting. There are no interval (intermittent wipe) settings on vehicles with rain-sensing wipers. The wipers will continue to wipe as long as the presence of moisture is detected on the windshield. More or less wiping may occur depending on humidity, mist or light rain, or road spray. Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the rear view mirror where the sensor is located or rain sensor performance may be affected. Note: During winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these conditions, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the amount of smearing or override the feature by selecting low- or high-speed wiping or turning the wiper system off. Note: The wipers must be turned off before entering a car wash.
