WARNINGS

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while your

vehicle is moving.

Store the portable music player in a
secure location when your vehicle is
moving, for example the glove

compartment. Hard objects may become
projectiles in a crash or sudden stop, which
may increase the risk of serious injury.

Safety Information

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device

Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

When using SYNC:
•

Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.

•

Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's manual for further information.

•

Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.

Privacy Information

When a cellular phone is connected to
SYNC, the system 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 cellular
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 will remain in the
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in the vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or the vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
