911 Assist

WARNINGS

Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before a crash, the system will not
dial for help which could delay

response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.

Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it
yourself. Dial emergency services

immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.

WARNINGS

Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or get damaged

in a crash. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury to someone or damage the
phone which could prevent 911 Assist from
working properly.

Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on before the incident.

Note: Before setting this feature on, make
sure that you read the 911 Assist Privacy
Notice later in this section for important
information.

Note: If any user turns 911 Assist on or off,
that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is turned off, either a voice
message plays or a display message (or
icon) comes on (or both) when your vehicle
is started after a previously paired phone
connects.

Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.

If a crash deploys an airbag (excluding
knee airbags and rear inflatable safety
belts [if equipped]) or activates the fuel
pump shut-off, your SYNC-equipped
vehicle may be able to contact emergency
services by dialing 911 through a paired and
connected Bluetooth-enabled phone. You
can learn more about the 911 Assist
feature, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 35). Important information about
airbag deployment is in this chapter.

See Roadside Emergencies (page 219).
Important information about the fuel pump
shut-off is in this chapter.

Setting 911 Assist On

1.

Press the phone button to enter the
phone menu.

2. Scroll to select 911 Assist.

3. Press OK to confirm and enter the 911

Assist menu.

4. Scroll to select between On and Off.

5. Press OK when the desired option

appears in the radio display. Set On or
Set Off appears in the display as
confirmation.

Off selections include:

•

Off with reminder: Provides a display
and voice reminder at phone
connection at vehicle start.

•

Off without reminder: Provides a
display reminder only without a voice
reminder at phone connection.

To make sure that 911 Assist works
properly:

•

SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.

•

The 911 Assist feature must be set on
before the incident.

•

You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
cell phone to SYNC.

•

A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time
of the incident.

•

A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network coverage,
battery power and signal strength.

•

The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the U.S., Canada or
in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number.

In the Event of a Crash

Not all crashes will deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off (the
triggers for 911 Assist). If a connected cell
phone sustains damage or loses its
connection to SYNC during a crash, SYNC
will search for and try to connect to a
previously paired cell phone; SYNC will
then attempt to call the emergency
services.

Before making the call:

•

SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.
If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC
attempts to dial 911.

•

SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call
911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on
your screen or press and hold the
phone button on your steering wheel."

If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and
then the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able
to talk with the operator. Be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and
location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.

911 Assist May Not Work If

•

Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.

•

The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.

•

The phone(s) thrown from your vehicle
are the ones paired and connected to
the system.

of electronically or verbally disclosing to
911 operators your vehicle location or other
