Get SYNC 3 -> Apps Guide for Ford Focus 4 Door Third generation(2010-2017)

SYNC™ 3

Map coverage includes the USA (including

SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link

Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands),

Canada and Mexico.

SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link is available

on vehicles equipped with navigation and

only in select markets. You must activate

and subscribe to receive SiriusXM Traffic

and Travel Link information. It helps you

locate the best gas prices, find movie

listings, get current traffic alerts, view the

weather map, get accurate ski conditions

and see current sports scores. See Apps

(page 377).

The system calculates a reasonable

efficient route based on available speed

limits, traffic, and road conditions. You may

know a local short cut that is more efficient

at a given time than the route provided by

SYNC 3, but you should expect a slight

difference in minutes or miles with the

SYNC 3 route.

APPS

The system enables voice, steering wheel,

and touch screen control of SYNC 3

AppLink enabled smartphone apps. Once

an app is running through AppLink, you can

control main features of the app through

voice commands and steering wheel

controls.

Note: Available AppLink enabled apps will

vary by market.

Note: You must pair and connect your

smartphone via Bluetooth to SYNC 3 to

access AppLink.

Note: iPhone users need to connect the

phone to the USB port.
