Setting 911 Assist On or Off

Press the Settings button then select:

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.

Action and Description

Item

911 Assist Select the desired option, on

or off.

To make sure that 911 Assist works

properly:

Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be

set on before the incident.

•

SYNC must be powered and working

properly at the time of the incident and

throughout feature activation and use.

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 switches 911 Assist to on

or off, that setting applies for all paired

phones. If 911 Assist is switched off, either

a voice message plays or a display message

or an icon comes on when your vehicle is

started and after a previously paired phone

connects.

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.

See SYNC™ (page 302). Important

information about airbag deployment is in

this chapter.

•

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 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 searches for and tries

to connect to a previously paired cell

phone; SYNC then attempts to call the

emergency services.

See Roadside Emergencies (page 190).

Important information about the fuel pump

shut-off is in this chapter.
