Use the side mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both

sides and rear of the vehicle. When shifting out of reverse and into any

other gear, the image will remain on for a few seconds before it shuts off

to assist in parking or trailer hookup.

After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park),

the image will remain until the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h),

only if the rear camera delay feature is on, or until any navigation radio

button is depressed.

Note: The default setting for the rear camera delay is off. Push the

“Settings” button found on the navigation screen to set the rear camera

delay feature to on or off.

When towing, the reverse camera system will only see what is being

towed behind the vehicle; this might not provide adequate coverage as it

usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be

seen.

The camera lens for the reverse camera system is located on the liftgate,

under the Ford logo. Keep the lens clean so the video image remains

clear and undistorted. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and

non-abrasive cleaner.

Note: If the reverse camera system image is not clear or seems

distorted, it may be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other

substance. If this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the reverse

camera system.

WARNING: The reverse camera system is a reverse aid

supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in

conjunction with the rear view mirror and the side mirrors for

maximum coverage.

WARNING: 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 reverse camera system.

WARNING: Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds

might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.

WARNING: Do not use the reverse camera system with the

liftgate open.
