Ford Offers Apple Siri® Eyes-Free to Millions of Vehicles Globally Through SYNC® Software Update

Siri Eyes-Free allows drivers to activate Siri with a long press of the voice recognition button on the steering wheel, similar to how to activate Siri on an iPhone. Drivers can use just their voice to ask Siri for requests including:

• Making phone calls to contacts in their address book
• Looking up phone numbers for restaurants or other points of interest
• Setting a reminder or alarm
• Asking about the weather
• Select and play music
• Audibly send and receive text messages
• Getting directions through Apple Maps

The new software update is available for vehicles equipped with the second generation of SYNC, known as MyFord Touch in North America, ranging from model years 2011 to 2016.
