What are the SYNC 4 Navigation options?

The SYNC®* 4 Connected Built-In Navigation** and Connected Navigation† options provide intuitive, reliable mapping at your side to help find smooth routes. No device battery limits, no dead zone hassles, and no need to plug in your phone.

Lincoln’s Connected Navigation options provide live traffic, Yelp integration, weather conditions, a streaming map, and more, including:

  • Voice Activation - Ditch distractions and stay focused on the road with voice-activated route requests and guidance.
  • Real-Time Traffic - Outsmart congestion with cloud-based, real-time traffic updates and automatic rerouting due to weather conditions, road hazards, and more.
  • Offline Mapping - Update and store maps of your favourite locations in your Lincoln vehicle so you are never caught off-guard by detours or cellular dead zones.

Note: SYNC 4 supports smartphone navigation with a data plan on a device with Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™.  You are responsible for data consumption costs as per your smartphone data plan. The navigation may be impacted by cellular dead zones.
