To access this information, special equipment must be directly
connected to the recording modules. Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder information
without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to 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 Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada. Please note that once 911 Assist
(if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911 Assist may, through any
paired and connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services
that the vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of
an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist may also be
capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators
the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this
information, do not activate the feature. See your SYNC
௡
supplement for more information.
Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe
operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not
essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.
