Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, collision 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 handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible
and that you become aware of applicable
country and local laws that may affect 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. Carefully place cords and
cables where they cannot be stepped
on or 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. Refer to
your device's user guide for further
information.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorised dealer.

Privacy Information
When a mobile phone is connected to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that is linked to that mobile
phone. This profile is created in order to
offer you more mobile features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other
things, this profile may contain data about
your phone book, text messages (read and
unread) and call history. Including the
history of calls when your mobile 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 mobile phone profile, media device
index, and development log will remain in
your vehicle unless you delete it and are
generally accessible only in your vehicle
when the mobile phone or media player is
connected. If you no longer plan to use the
system or your vehicle, we recommend you
perform a master reset to erase all stored
information.
System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
vehicle's SYNC module. We will not access
the system data for any purpose other than
as described absent consent, a court order,
or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities or other third
parties acting with lawful authority. Other
parties may seek to access the information
independently of us. For further privacy
information, see the sections on
emergency assistance.
