Support The SYNC support team is available to help you with any questions you are not able to answer on your own. Monday-Saturday, 8:30am-8:00pm EST. For Ford : United States: 1-800-392-3673. Canada: 1-800-565-3673. Times are subject to change due to holidays. Privacy Information When you connect a cellular phone to SYNC 3, the systemcreates a profilewithin your vehicle that links to that cellular phone. This profile helps in offering you more cellular features and operatingmore efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your cellular 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 diagnostic 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 diagnostic log remain in your vehicle unless you delete them and are generally accessible only in your vehicle when the cellular 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. You can findmore information about the Master Reset in General Settings. See Settings (page524). System

Automatic System Updates

From this menu, you can enableautomatic updates. If you have not done so already, the system prompts you to set up a Wi-Fi connectionwhen you enable this feature.

When Wi-Fi and automatic updates are enabled, your system checks for software updates periodically. If a new version is available, it downloads at that time. Software downloads can take place for up to 30minutes after you have switched your vehicle off. The updates do not interrupt the normal use of your SYNC 3 system. If a download does not complete for any reason, the download continues where it left off at the next Wi-Fi connected opportunity. Upon activation of an update, a banner displays on the touchscreen indicating the system update. Select the icon to see more detail. This icon displays for two ignition cycles.
