Since its introduction, SYNC has helped rocket Ford to the forefront of automotive technology by seamlessly integrating your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players. Now, SYNC is poised to take a significant leap forward with the introduction of two all-new features: Vehicle Health Report (VHR) and 911 Assist.

With VHR, drivers are able to monitor the condition of their vehicle and work closely with their local dealership to help keep their vehicle operating at its peak potential.

VHR combines data from multiple sources to communicate diagnostic recall and maintenance information. The result is an easy-to-understand report that can be accessed on www.syncmyride.com. What's more, VHR makes scheduling a service appointment simpler than ever by integrating with Genuine eService on the drivers preferred dealership website.

In certain vehicle crashes, occupants may be unable to place a call to a 911 Operator if assistance is required. With 911 Assist, customers gain a peace of mind knowing SYNC can assist them in connecting with emergency personnel.

If a driver or passenger using 911 Assist to connect to a 911 Operator chooses to evacuate the vehicle, the call can be transferred to their mobile handset without having to hang up and redial. The call will continue through the handset when the vehicle's ignition is turned OFF and the door is opened.

VHR and 911 Assist represent a significant value since neither system requires an additional monthly subscription fee or usage charge outside of your monthly phone bill. For potential new Lincoln and Mercury owners, these features represent even more reasons to select a SYNC equipped vehicle.

For more information on SYNC, VHR and 911 Assist, stop by the dealership and speak to a Sales Specialist or call 321-452-9220
