Getting Familiar Traditional knobs and buttons have been replaced by controls and screens familiar to anyone with experience using remote controls or gaming systems. To optimize your experience using SYNC® with MyFord Touch®/MyLincoln TouchTM, here are two essential devices to have with you: Bluetooth-enabled Phone
Digital Media Player
Bluetooth is the wireless technology that is used to connect your vehicle with your phone or other compatible devices. For details on compatible devices, visit support.ford.com or support.lincoln.com to view a dynamic device compatibility tool that is frequently updated by listing device compatibility with the latest technology on the market.
Master the Basics Information Displays Touch the five-way controls on the steering wheel to access the available menus and sub-menus of the Information Displays.
Similar to a message center, but with better graphics and customization options.
The colors and features match the four-quadrant touch screen and allow you to quickly access frequently used features, like radio presets or receiving a phone call. (Available on select vehicles.)
Touch Screen The touch screen uses quadrants to organize functions into four categories: • Phone
• Information or Navigation
• Entertainment
• Climate or Settings*
When you opt for Navigation, you still have Information as an icon at the bottom of the screen. * Vehicles with 6.5-inch screen.

Getting Familiar Using the Touch Screen Be sure to use these tips when operating the system: • Ensure that your hands are clean, dry and free of moisture • Press and release on the features you want • Notice how the system responds before continuing • Touch anywhere in the quadrant, in addition to the corners, to access features • Avoid any continuously rapid pressing of the same button • Clean the display with a clean, soft cloth such as one used for cleaning eyeglasses. Your vehicle is equipped with one. If dirt or fingerprints are still visible, apply a small amount of alcohol to the cloth. Do not pour/spray alcohol onto the display. Do not use detergent or any type of solvent to clean the display • To keep the system operating at peak performance, you may also need to reboot the system or perform periodic system maintenance with software updates
Consistent Controls To make the system easy to use, you’ll find a common layout structure throughout. A grid helps define a consistent, precise location and size of features.
PRIMARY CONTROLS
CONTENT
SECONDARY CONTROLS
CONTENT CONTROLS
High-priority features appear much larger than low-priority ones.
Some buttons have multiple light bars to highlight that additional features are available.
Toggle buttons have a consistent look with On/Off behavior.
Arrows indicate additional content to page up or down.
7
Getting Familiar New Voice Menus A little visual cue can go a long way to improving the confidence and accuracy of the system delivering what the driver wants. Voice menus have always been part of the system, but now they are defaulted On and have been improved for ease of use. The system is capable of recognizing thousands of commands, so to help pinpoint the right one, pop-up screens appear after pressing the Voice button. There are many pop-up screens, each specific to the features of the system, based on what the user says; for example: • What Can I Say? • Phone • Navigation • Entertainment or Audio • Climate The most common commands are listed first with supplemental commands at the bottom. If users wish to turn these off, they can simply press the lighted button with question mark in the lower left of the screen. Press again to turn it back on.
Increased Touch Zones To activate Phone, Entertainment, Navigation or Climate functions, users had to press the respective corner. Now, users can press anywhere in the entire quadrant to open the features. Users can press on the name of the feature in each corner or anywhere in the quadrant for a more convenient way to access features. Since the entire Home screen is now touchable, users should only attempt to clean the screen of smudges or fingerprints when the screen is off. Attempting to wipe the Home screen will activate the functions where the user wipes.
8

Pairing and Connecting In order to use any of the phone features — like making a call, receiving a text or using SYNC® Services — you must first pair and connect your Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone. Here’s how:
How to Pair the First Phone Pairing is what allows Bluetooth devices to communicate with each other securely. It can only be done when the vehicle is not in motion. 1. Make sure that your vehicle is in Park and both your ignition and radio are turned On. 2. Touch Add Phone in the upper-left corner of the touch screen (highlighted in yellow). Find SYNC appears on the screen, and instructs you to begin the pairing process from your device. 3. Make sure that Bluetooth is set to On and your mobile phone is in the proper mode: – A message will appear on the touch screen indicating that your device is trying to pair with SYNC. A 6-digit PIN will appear on your device – If your device does not support secure simple pairing, you will have to enter the PIN manually. Search for Devices on your mobile phone until your phone finds SYNC. Then, select SYNC and add the 6-digit PIN shown on the touch screen 4 4. When prompted on your phone’s display, confirm that the PIN provided by SYNC matches the PIN displayed on your mobile phone. 5. The display will indicate when the pairing is successful. 6. Confirm voice mail number, turn on 911 Assist® and set Auto Phonebook Download On.

Center Touch Screen Phone
Pairing and Connecting (cont’d.) How to Reverse Pair Reverse pairing is when you have SYNC® look for your phone rather than have the phone search for SYNC. Set the phone’s Bluetooth® to Discoverable Mode, and then follow these steps: • Press the Phone button to access the Phone menu • Make sure to set your phone’s Bluetooth to Discoverable Mode • Press the Find Other Devices tab on the screen. If not on the screen, when in the Phone menu, press Settings > Bluetooth Devices > Add Device > Find Other Devices • SYNC will search and then display the name of your phone on the screen; press on the tab that displays the name of your phone • Enter a pass key (like “1234”), using the keypad displayed on the screen; press Enter; your screen will say “Pairing” • Your phone will ask for a PIN number; enter the same one you have entered on your screen, which is “1234”; press the OK or Pair button on your phone • After pressing OK or Pair on your phone, SYNC will attempt to make the connection If this method does not work, it may be necessary to download a firmware update for the phone. Please check with your phone carrier for any firmware updates for your phone.
TIP
Some AndroidTM phones with older operating systems will only accept a 4-digit PIN instead of a 6-digit PIN. To pair the phone using a 4-digit PIN, follow the reverse pairing instructions above. • Follow the usual steps to pair the phone • When SYNC offers a 6-digit PIN on screen, press Edit • The new 4-digit PIN will appear on screen to complete the pairing process

HD RadioTM Technology With iTunes® Tagging HD Radio Technology provides an enhanced audio experience with no subscription fees and no special setup to begin enjoying — plus better audio quality, improved reception performance and more choices: • FM sounds like CD quality; AM sounds like today’s FM • Crystal-clear, static-free reception • Unique multicasting of channels (HD1–HD8), along the same radio frequency as HD1, featuring innovative content • Data displayed on-screen, such as song and artist This feature is only available with optional Sony®-branded audio for Ford or THX® II Certified Audio System for Lincoln.
iTunes Tagging To access, press the lower-left corner of the touch screen. Then, press AM or FM > HD Radio > On. When this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting HD Radio Technology, iTunes Tagging provides you the ability to capture a song’s information, making it easier for later purchase: • With a simple push of the Tag button on the radio display, the song information is stored in the radio’s memory • Up to 100 tags can be stored on SYNC® until the iPod® is connected to receive the download of metadata. When the iPod is then synced to iTunes, a playlist of “tagged” songs will appear. You then can preview and, if desired, purchase and download tagged songs from the iTunes Store
Note: Although uncommon, it is possible for radio stations to experience broadcast problems in sending their analog and digital signals. If you experience interrupted service on an HD1 channel, the signal can automatically switch to its analog equivalent. When in HD2–HD4, since there is no equivalent analog channel behind it, if you experience a radio broadcast problem from the station, you may lose the signal entirely. This situation may be a radio broadcaster issue or loss of reception in fringe areas, not something wrong with the radio itself. 23

After the initial six months, you can extend your subscription by calling SiriusXM Customer Care at 1-888-539-7474. • Press and hold one of the memory preset areas (on the right side of the screen).

In SiriusXM Satellite Radio mode, voice commands also provide “direct tuning” capability, which allows the customer to readily tune to desired “home team” game broadcasts rather than knowing the channel up front. So, for example, saying “Tune to <Team Name> game” or “Tune to <Team City> game” finds and directs to the channel.

USB The USB port is inside your center console, and you can control your USB-connected personal devices with voice commands or touch. This feature allows you to plug in mediaplaying devices, memory sticks, and also to charge devices if they support this feature. You can use USB1 or USB2. Ensure that you have the correct one chosen on-screen.
Select the lower-left corner of the touch screen to access the Entertainment screen. Then, select either USB1 or USB2. You can then select from the following options: • Repeat: Select to repeat the currently playing song/album • Shuffle: Select to play music on the selected album or folder in random order • Similar Music: Select to choose music similar to that currently playing • Options: Provides access to sound settings to adjust Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade settings • Browse: Select to browse the contents of the flash drive or digital music player connected to the USB port
Indexing Indexing is the way SYNC® categorizes the music it finds on your media player. By indexing the music, SYNC can play selections by track, artist, album or genre categories. SYNC automatically indexes your music every time a media player with new music on it is connected to SYNC through the USB port. This may take only a few seconds, but if your player holds thousands of songs, indexing may take longer to complete.
TIP
If the vehicle is software level v3.5 (12285 in the system) or newer, you no longer need to say “USB” first to play a song. You can say “Play <song name>” at any time. As long as your digital media player is connected through USB, SYNC can find your requested song.

How to Install Software Updates Before Starting There are a few things you should do before starting Step 1. If your vehicle has an optional SD Card Navigation System, this update requires a new SD Card. Request a complimentary Navigation SD Card (http://www.syncmyride.com/Own/ Modules/UpdateCenter/UpdateCenterLanding.aspx). Make note of any saved Navigation points. You’ll need to re-enter them after the update is complete. Remove any USB drives or devices that are plugged into the media hub USB ports.
Step 1:
Step 2:
TIP: The touch screen will then remain black for up to two minutes.
Start your vehicle. You will need to leave the engine running for the entirety of the installation process. You can drive your vehicle during this process without interrupting the software update, or you can simply leave the vehicle running and parked in a safe place. (Please do not leave your vehicle unattended.) Turn on the audio system and set your audio volume at a low but audible level.
Step 6:
TIP: Another black screen could last up to two minutes for rebooting.
Insert the USB drive containing the update. Don’t remove your USB drive until the installation is complete. The installation should begin automatically.
TIP: In the event that the installation does not begin automatically, you can perform a Master Reset (/sync-technology/ perform-master-reset-sync-myford-touch) of your system.
Step 3:
A message is spoken by the system and displayed on-screen to let you know the process is about to start and what to expect. The on-screen message has an “OK” button for you to confirm the start of the process.
Step 4:
The system reboots, and then an installation progress bar displays on the touch screen. This segment may take up to 20 minutes. You may see some variation in this segment, depending on your system.
Step 5:
“Installing Service Pack…” is displayed for more than 10 minutes.
Step 7:
The system displays the Home screen briefly, followed by a progress bar.
Step 8:
A message acknowledges completion of the update along with a reminder to visit support.ford.com or support.lincoln.com to confirm successful installation.
Step 9:
The update is complete when you see an “Installation Complete!” message. Press “OK” on your center screen and remove the USB drive to enjoy your newly enhanced system. If your vehicle is equipped with Navigation, you can now remove the old SD Card and replace it with the new SD Card that you received in the mail.
Step 10:
Take the USB drive back to your computer to report your installation (/sync-technology/reportsuccessful -installation-sync-myford-touch).
TIP: Once you’ve installed the update, you’ll need to pair your phone and download your phone book. You’ll also have to re-enter any saved Navigation points. If you experience problems with phone pairing after you install the update, try performing a “clean” pairing. First, delete SYNC® from your phone’s list of paired Bluetooth® devices. Then pair your phone as normal.
At the completion of this part of the process, a “Restarting System” message displays on the touch screen. A reboot will occur during this process.
