SYNC CALLS 911 FOR HELP

When Cheryl Vogel of Derwood,Md., logged on to syncmyride.com and set up SYNC 911 Assisr, her timing couldn't have been better: The very next day a minivan slammed into the passenger-side door of her two-day-old 2009 Ford Escape and the system called 911 to summon help. SYNC 911 Assist is one of the new safety features available with Ford's voice-activated SYNC navigation and communications system-and unlike other crash-emergency systems, it uses your Bluetooth-enabled phone to dial 911 directly, rather than going through a third-party operator. That saves seconds that could be crucial. "When the accident happened, I didn't have to do anything," says Vogel. "SYNC said,'We sensed you were in an accident, we're calling 911' ". Emergency responders arrived on the scene within minutes. "It doesn't matter what age you are," Vogel says. "When you get into an accident, you need all the help you can get."
