Callout

Shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when
the engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases
where the engine is on, but not using any fuel). When
the engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node
is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of
this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and
the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.

Fuel-to-Engine Flow

engine and the electric motor. The direction indicates
if the engine is providing power to the high-voltage
electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical
system is providing power to control or start the
engine.

Motor-to-Engine Flow

K

Represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only
when the gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine
power is, the larger the circle around this node.

The battery-to-motor flow includes

battery power the vehicle is using for
acceleration. It does not include energy the
vehicle is using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately.

Accessories indicates electrical power

demands from your vehicle’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to making the vehicle move. The
power flow displays power usage from the
climate control system and other
accessories separately.

The climate control system may

determine A/C is necessary even when you
turn it off. In this case, you may see some
climate power when the A/C is off.

Heater Setting

The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds
the level for electric mode operation. Reduce the speed
to return to electric mode.

The engine is on when applying pressure to the acceler-
ator pedal or switching on the speed control. Reduce
pressure on the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric mode.

Shift out of neutral gear to return to electric mode.

Neutral Gear

The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift
out of low gear to return to electric mode.

Low Gear

The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric mode once the battery is
charged.

Battery Charging

The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The
vehicle returns to electric mode when possible.

Normal Operation

The engine is on to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn on the grade
assist feature, when speed control is on or when driving
with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Turning off
grade assist or speed control may allow the vehicle to
return to electric mode.

Enabling SYNC 3 Mobile Apps

In order to enable mobile apps, SYNC 3
requires user consent to send and receive
app authorization information and updates
using the data plan associated with the
connected device.

The connected device sends data to Ford
in the United States. The information is
encrypted and includes your VIN, SYNC 3
module number, odometer, usage
statistics and debugging information. We
retain this data for only as long as
necessary to provide this service,
troubleshoot, and improve products and
services and to offer you products and
services that may interest you where
allowed by law.

each connected device the first time you
select a mobile app using the system.

not responsible for any additional charges
you may receive from your service provider,
when your vehicle sends or receives data

any additional charges incurred due to
driving in areas when roaming out of a home
network.

App Permissions

The system organizes the App permissions
into groups. You can grant these group
permissions individually. You can change
a permission group status any time when
not driving, by using the settings menu.
While in the settings menu, you can also
see the data included in each group.

When you launch an app using SYNC 3,
the system may ask you to grant certain
permissions, for example Vehicle
information, Driving characteristics, GPS
and Speed, and/or Push notifications. You
can enable all groups or none of them
during the initial app permissions prompts.
The settings menu offers individual group
permission control.

Note: You are only prompted to grant
permissions the first time you use an app
with SYNC 3.

Note: If you disable group permissions,
apps will still be enabled to work with SYNC
3 unless you deactivate All Apps in the
settings menu.
