Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer. • Do not operate media devices if the power cables are broken or damaged. • Make sure the power cables do not interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle's controls or affect your safe driving abilities. • Some SYNC functions are speed-dependent.

This profile helps in offering you more cellular features and operating more efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your cell phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history, including history of calls when your cell 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 remain in your vehicle unless you delete them, and are generally accessible only in your vehicle when your cell phone or media player is connected.

The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses to your request. 332 Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing MyFord Touch ™
