Ford Super Duty (2018 year). Manual - part 59

E223144

The rear view camera is located on the
tailgate.

Using the Rear View Camera
System

The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•

Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.

•

Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving 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 transmission is in reverse (R)
and the tailgate is ajar, no rear view camera
features are displayed.

Note: If the image does not turn off while
the transmission is not in reverse (R) and
you are driving over a speed of 5 mph
(8 km/h), have the system inspected by an
authorized dealer.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what is being towed behind your vehicle.
This might not provide adequate coverage
as it usually provides in normal operation
and some objects might not be seen. In
some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear
once the trailer tow connector is engaged.

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.

Camera Guidelines

Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines
are only available when the transmission is
in reverse (R).

Note: The centerline is only available if
Active or Fixed guidelines are on.

Note: Some vehicles may not come
equipped with guidelines.

To use active guidelines, turn the steering
wheel to point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing, the
vehicle might deviate from the original
intended path.

The active 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 your vehicle.

Obstacle Distance Indicator

E190459

The system will provide an image of your
vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones
will highlight green, yellow and red when
the parking aid sensors detect an object in
the coverage area.

Rear Camera Delay

Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.

When shifting the transmission out of
reverse (R) and into any gear other than
park (P), the camera image remains in the
display until:
•

Your vehicle speed sufficiently
increases.

•

You shift your vehicle into park (P).

•

You apply the parking brake on vehicles
with a manual transmission.

360 DEGREE CAMERA

 (If Equipped)

WARNINGS

The 360 degree camera system still
requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with looking out of the

windows, and checking the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum coverage.

Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the

screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system.

Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make

sure your vehicle is not moving.

Note: The 360 degree camera system turns
off when your vehicle is in motion at low
speed, except when in reverse (R).

The 360 degree camera system consists
of front, side and rear cameras. The
system:
•

Allows you to see what is directly in
front or behind your vehicle.

•

Provides cross traffic view in front and
behind your vehicle.

•

Allows you to see a top-down view of
the area outside your vehicle, including
the blind spots.

•

Provides visibility around your vehicle
to you in parking maneuvers such as:
•

Centering in a parking space.

•

Obstacles near vehicle.

•

Parallel parking.
