How to turn off sync?

sync can be turned off by adjusting the air conditioning temperature on the passenger side to match that on the driver's side. sync stands for temperature synchronization. When activated, it synchronizes the temperature in other air conditioning zones with that of the driver's side, allowing the driver to control the temperature for the entire vehicle. sync dual-zone automatic air conditioning refers to a system with two temperature zones, meaning the left and right sides of the front cabin can independently adjust their temperatures. Vehicles equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning can meet the different temperature requirements of passengers in two different positions within the cabin, allowing for flexible adjustment and switching between different temperature differences in independent zones.
As a long-distance driver, I'm accustomed to turning off SYNC to minimize distractions: After getting in the car and waiting for the dashboard to light up, I use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the settings menu, find the SYNC option in the connectivity section, and disable the Bluetooth auto-sync feature. This prevents the system from automatically connecting to my phone, avoiding interruptions from calls or notifications while driving. If the system freezes, temporarily turning it off and restarting can refresh its response. In daily use, this trick also saves power and protects the car battery by avoiding frequent charge-discharge cycles that wear out the equipment. Remember to regularly check for vehicle software updates, as Ford often releases new patches to improve system stability. Safety always comes first, and this small adjustment can make journeys more focused and comfortable—especially on highways, where one less distraction is always a good thing.
