Navigating the
central touchscreen
SYNC®4 is Ford’s latest-generation communications and entertainment system.
Offering more processing power than ever before you can now do more with SYNC®4, and because the large 10 or 12-inch format screen is split, you can multi-task efficiently and view the information you need at the right time and access apps and features you use regularly without having to scroll through tabs and menus to find what you need.

The main display
Three buttons you will use the most.
Despite its size, your SYNC®4 screen is easy to navigate and is centered around three main buttons at the top of the screen:
The Home button
The Controls and Settings button
The Camera button
The Home button
Pressing the Home button offers quick access to your SYNC®4 apps, including Radio, Phone, Navigation (if equipped), Media, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, Owner’s Manual, App Catalogue and Towing (if equipped). Once you select one of these apps it will activate and become the dominant item filling the main portion of the touch screen.

The Controls and Settings button
Press on this to access vehicle Controls and Settings for a huge range of safety, driver assist and other vehicle features3.

The Camera button
This gives you access to Everest’s front, rear and 360-degree camera features when required. You will also find handy features here that will help guide you when hitching up a trailer - or when driving off-road.
Short Cut icons
These buttons sit under the top portion of the screen and show you the last five apps you have used. These shortcuts help you to quickly switch between apps without having to scroll through the Apps menu every time.
Climate controls
At the bottom of the SYNC®4 touch screen is Everest’s Persistent Climate Bar which sits above hard controls for climate. The hard buttons and dials control about 90 percent of the climate functionality, the touch screen options give you access to all climate control features.
Digital owner’s manual
Incorporated into SYNC®4 is a digital copy of the owner’s manual for Everest. Select this App and you are offered a search bar to search for something specific, the option of accessing the manual via Categories, a Visual Search, or you can access previously saved pages via the Bookmarks function. You can also change the language of the manual.

Decluttering the cabin
Because SYNC®4 offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity you can leave the cords at home and connect your smartphone to the SYNC®4 touch screen without wires. There is also an available wireless charging pad for smartphones1. However, alongside the wireless charging pad are two USB outlets (USB-A and USB-C) so that you can connect your smartphone to SYNC®4, and keep it charged, using a wired connection if you like.
