FORD 2014 Flex v.1 - Manual (Page 438)

Safety information
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. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
• Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC®. See your authorized
dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where
they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals,
seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it
could cause damage to your device. Refer to your device’s user guide
for further information.
• For your safety, some SYNC® functions are speed dependent and
cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h).
• Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with
SYNC®.
Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while your
vehicle is moving so they are restricted from use unless your vehicle is
stationary.
• Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest reviews and ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link sports scores, movie
times and ski conditions.
• Any action that requires you to use a keyboard is restricted, such as
entering a navigation destination or editing information.
• All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (such as phone
contacts or recent phone call entries).
