Issue

Possible cause(s)

Possible solution(s)

Review the phone voice commands and the media voice commands at the

beginning of their respective

sections.

After pressing the voice icon,

wait until after the tone sounds and Listening appears before saying a command. Any command spoken before this does not

register with the system. Review the media voice

commands at the beginning

of the media section.

SYNC does not understand

what I am saying.

You may be using the wrong

voice commands.

You may be speaking too soon or at the wrong time.

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

You may be using the wrong voice commands.

Issue

Voice command issues

Possible cause(s)

You may be saying the

name differently than the

way you saved it.

The system may not be

reading the name the same

way you are saying it.

You may be using the wrong

voice commands.

You may be saying the

name differently than the

way you saved it.

SYNC does not understand

or is calling the wrong contact when I want to

make a call.

325

Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA

Possible solution(s) Say the song or artist

exactly as listed. If you say "Play Artist Prince", the

system does not play music by Prince and the Revolution

or Prince and the New

Power Generation.

Make sure you are saying the

complete title, such as

"California remix featuring

Jennifer Nettles".

If the song titles are in all CAPS, you have to spell

them. LOLA requires you to

say "L-O-L-A".

Do not use special charac- ters in the title. The system does not recognize them. Review the Phone voice

commands at the beginning

of the phone section.

Make sure you are saying the contacts exactly as they are listed. For example, if you

save a contact as Joe Wilson, say "Call Joe

Wilson".

Using the SYNC phone

menu, open the phonebook

and scroll to the name SYNC is having trouble understanding. SYNC will read the name to you, giving

you some idea of the pronunciation SYNC is

expecting.

SYNC™

Voice command issues

Issue

Possible cause(s)

Possible solution(s)

The system may not be

reading the name the same

way you are saying it.

Contacts in your phonebook

may be very short and

similar, or they may contain

special characters.

The system works better if you list full names, such as "Joe Wilson" rather than

"Joe".

Do not use special charac- ters, such as 123 or ICE, as the system does not recog-

nize them.

Your phonebook contacts

may be in CAPS.

If a contact is in CAPS, you

have to spell it. JAKE

requires you to say "Call J-

A-K-E".

Issue

AppLink issues Possible cause(s)

Possible solution(s)

Ensure you have a compat- ible smartphone; an Android with OS 2.3 or higher or an iPhone 3GS or newer with iOS 5.0 or higher. Addition- ally, ensure your phone is paired and connected to

SYNC in order to find

AppLink-capable apps on your device. iPhone users

must also connect to

SYNC's USB port with an

Apple USB cable.

Ensure you have down- loaded and installed the latest version of the app

from your phone's app store. Ensure the app is running on

your phone. Some apps require you to register or

AppLink Mobile Applica- tions: When I select "Find New Apps," SYNC does not

find any applications.

An AppLink capable phone is not connected to SYNC.

My phone is connected, but I still cannot find any apps.

AppLink-enabled apps are not installed and running on

your mobile device.

326

Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA

SYNC™

AppLink issues Possible cause(s)

Issue

My phone is connected, my app(s) are running, but I still

cannot find any apps.

Sometime apps do not

properly close and re-open their connection to SYNC,

over ignition cycles, for

example.

Possible solution(s) login on the app on the phone before using them with AppLink. Also, some may have a "Ford SYNC" setting, so check the app's settings menu on the phone. Closing and restarting apps

may help SYNC find the application if you cannot discover it inside the vehicle.

On an Android device, if

apps have an "Exit' or 'Quit'

option, select that then restart the app. If the app does not have that option,

you can also manually "Force Close" the app by going to the phone's settings menu, selecting 'Apps.' then finding the particular app and choosing 'Force stop.' Don't forget to restart the app afterwards, then select "Find New Apps" on SYNC. On an iPhone with iOS7+, to force close an app, double tab the home button then swipe up on the app to close

it. Tab the home button again, then select the app again to restart it. After a few seconds, the app should

then appear in SYNC's Mobile App's Menu.

My Android phone is

connected, my app(s) are running, I restarted them, but I still cannot find any

apps.

There is a Bluetooth bug on some order versions of the Android operating system that may cause apps that were found on your previous vehicle drive to not be found again if you have not turned

off Bluetooth.

327

Reset the Bluetooth on your phone by turning it off and then turning Bluetooth back on. If you are in your vehicle,

SYNC should be able to

automatically re-connect to your phone if you press the

"Phone" button.

AppLink issues Possible cause(s)

Issue

Possible solution(s)

My iPhone phone is connected, my app is

running, I restarted the app but I still cannot find it on

SYNC.

The USB connection to

SYNC may need to be reset.

Unplug the USB cable from the phone, wait a moment,

and plug the USB cable

back in to the phone. After a few seconds, the app should appear in SYNC's Mobile Apps Menu. If not, "Force Close" the application and

restart it.

I have an Android phone. I found and started my media app on SYNC, but there is no sound or the sound is very

low.

The bluetooth volume on the phone may be low.

I can only see some of the AppLink apps running on my

phone listed in SYNC's

Mobile Apps Menu.

Some Android devices have

a limited number of

bluetooth ports apps can use to connect. If you have more AppLink apps on your phone than the number of availble Bluetooth ports, you will not see all of your apps listed in SYNC's mobile apps

menu.

Try increasing the Bluetooth

volume of the device by using the device's volume control buttons which are most often found on the

side of the device.

Force close or uninstall the apps you do not want SYNC to find. If the app has a "Ford SYNC" setting, disable that setting in the app's settings

menu on the phone.

SYNC System Reset

The SYNC system in your vehicle has System Reset feature that can be performed if the function of a SYNC feature is lost. This reset is intended to restore functionality and will not erase any information previously stored in the system (Such as paired devices, phonebook, call history, text messages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset, press and hold the Seek Up (>>) button while pressing and holding the Radio Power button. Release both buttons after 2-3 seconds. Please allow a few minutes for the reset to complete. After a few minutes has passed you can resume using the SYNC

system.

Privacy Information When you connect a cell phone to SYNC, the system creates a profile within your vehicle that links to that cell phone. This profile helps in offering you more cellular features and operating more efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your cell phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history, including history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to the system. In addition, if you connect a media device, the system creates and retains an index of supported media content. The system also records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all recent system activity. The log profile and other system data may be used to improve the system and help diagnose any problems that may occur. The cellular profile, media device index, and development log remain in your vehicle unless you delete them, and are generally accessible only in your vehicle when your cell phone or media player is connected. If you no longer plan to use the system or your vehicle, we recommend you carry out a Master Reset to erase all stored information.

System data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to your vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do not access the system data for any purpose other than as described without 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®, Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic, Directions and Information. Using Voice Commands This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in front of you. The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of interaction (voice settings). The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses to your request.

Note: Your vehicle may not have all these sound settings.

HD Radio™ Information (If Available) Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets. HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a special receiver that allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts, it already receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts with free, crystal-clear audio and no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to available stations and programming, please visit www.hdradio.com. When HD Radio is on and you tune to a station broadcasting HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your screen:

352

Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA

The HD logo either blinks when acquiring a digital station, and then stays solid when digital audio is playing, or is grey when acquiring a digital station, and then changes to orange when digital audio is playing. When this logo is available, you may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen. The multicast indicator appears in FM mode (only) if the current station is broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted numbers signify available digital channels where new or different content is available. HD1 signifies the main programming status and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are only available digitally. TAG allows you to save a song to download later when you are on an acquired HD Radio station and the feature is on.

You may see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast. Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns. There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound returns when finished. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the sound mutes before the digital audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital signal.

Note: As with any saved radio station, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting

Reception area

Station blending

Potential reception issues

If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again. When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.

In order to provide the best possible experience, use the contact form to report any station issues found while listening to a station broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Independent entities own and operate each station. These stations are responsible for ensuring all audio streams and data fields are accurate.
