WARNINGS
Unless the Emergency Assistance
setting is set to on prior to a collision,
the system will not attempt to place
an emergency call which could delay the
response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death. Do not wait
for Emergency Assistance to make an
emergency call if you can do it yourself.
Dial emergency services immediately to
avoid a delayed response time. If you do
not hear Emergency Assistance within five
seconds of the crash, the system or cell
phone may be damaged or non-functional.
Note: Before setting the feature on, please
read the important notice about the
Emergency Assistance feature and the
Emergency Assistance privacy notice later
in this section for important information.
Note: When you switch Emergency
Assistance on or off, the setting applies to
all paired mobile phones. If you switch
Emergency Assistance off and a previously
paired phone connects when you switch the
ignition on, either a voice message plays, a
display message or icon is shown, or both.
Note: Every mobile phone operates
differently. While Emergency Assistance
works with most mobile phones, some
mobile phones may experience difficulties
using this feature.
Note: Ford is not the provider of the
emergency services contacted by SYNC
when an emergency call is initiated. Ford
does not accept any liability in relation to
the provision, quality or timeliness of those
services.

If a crash deploys an airbag or triggers the
fuel pump shut off, the system may
contact emergency services by dialing the
emergency assistance number through a
paired and connected cell phone. For more
information about the system and
Emergency Assistance, visit the regional
Ford website.
Note: In case of an emergency, Emergency
Assistance, as a means of communication
aid, can help you contact specific rescue
departments of public security. Emergency
Assistance does not implement the rescue
operations. The local public security
department deploys specific rescue
operations according to the actual situation.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 27). Important information
regarding airbag deployment is in this
chapter.
See Roadside Emergencies (page 200).
