Parking Aids The system uses two types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: • Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you. • Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example, a trailer). Note: If the image comes on while the transmission is not in Reverse (R), have the system inspected by your authorized dealer. Note: When towing, the camera only sees what you are towing behind your vehicle. This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and you might not see some objects. In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once you engage the trailer tow connector. The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions: • Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse lamps are not operating. • Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. • The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle. To access any of the rear view camera system settings, make the following selections in the touch screen when the transmission is not in Reverse (R): • Menu > Vehicle > Camera Settings After changing a system setting, the touch screen shows a preview of the selected features. Guidelines and the Centerline Note: Fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in R (Reverse). Note: The centerline is only available if fixed guidelines are on. D C B E163914 E A A B C D E Rear bumper Fixed guideline: Green zone Fixed guideline: Yellow zone Fixed guideline: Red zone Centerline The fixed guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines are not shown when the steering wheel position is straight. Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle. Enhanced Park Aids Note: Enhanced park aids is only available when the transmission is in Reverse (R). Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. 172 F150 (TF6)
