911 Assist

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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: The SYNC 911 Assist feature only
operates in the U.S., Canada or in a territory
in which 911 is the emergency number.

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 sets 911 Assist to on or off,
that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is switched off and the phone is
connected to SYNC, an icon displays on the
status bar.

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, by visiting:

Website

www.owner.lincoln.com
www.syncmyride.ca
www.syncmaroute.ca

For important information about airbag
deployment and the fuel pump shut-off
please see the Supplementary Restrains and
Roadside Emergencies sections of your
owner manual.

To switch 911 Assist on and off please view
the settings information. See Settings (page
504).

450

Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, First-Printing

SYNC™ 3

To make sure that 911 Assist works correctly:
•

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.

911 Assist Privacy Notice

When you switch on 911 Assist, it may
disclose to emergency services that your
vehicle has been in a crash involving the
deployment of an airbag or activation of the
fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or
updates to 911 Assist may also be capable

451

Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, First-Printing

SYNC™ 3

of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911
operators your vehicle location or other
details about your vehicle or crash to assist
911 operators to provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not want to
disclose this information, do not switch the
feature on.

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

electronic devices while driving.

•

Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. Have an authorized dealer
check your vehicle.

•

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 user guide for further
information.

•

For your safety, some SYNC 3 functions
are speed-dependent. Their use is limited
to when your vehicle is traveling at
speeds under 3 mph (5 km/h). Make sure
that you review your device's manual
before using it with SYNC 3.

Speed-restricted Features

Some features of this system may be too
difficult to use while your vehicle is moving
so they are restricted from use unless your
vehicle is stationary.

onto a USB drive or use Wi-Fi to deliver
automatic updates.

USB Updates

To use the USB update you need to log into
your owner account and visit the SYNC
software update page.

Website

www.owner.lincoln.com
