Get Parking Aids -> 180 Degree Camera Guide for Ford Edge SUV Second Generation (2015-2023)

Possible CauseSymptom

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example,

a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.

The parking space length or position of parked objects

changes after your vehicle passes the space.

The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes.

For example, driving from a heated garage into the cold,

or after leaving a car wash.

REAR VIEW CAMERA

WARNINGS

The rear view camera system is a

reverse aid supplement device that

still requires the driver to use it in

conjunction with 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.

Reverse your vehicle as slow as

possible, higher speeds may limit

your reaction time to stop your

vehicle.

Use caution when the rear cargo door

is ajar. If the rear cargo door is ajar,

the camera will be out of position

and the video image may be incorrect. All

guidelines disappear when the rear cargo

door is ajar. Some vehicles may not come

equipped with guidelines.

Use caution when turning camera

features on or off when the

transmission is not in park (P). Make

sure your vehicle is not moving.

The rear view camera system provides a

video image of the area behind your

vehicle.

During operation, lines appear in the

display which represent your vehicle’s path

and proximity to objects behind your

vehicle.

E142435

The camera is located on the rear cargo

door.

Using the Rear View Camera

System

The rear view camera system displays

what is behind your vehicle when you place

the transmission 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.

Parking Aids

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 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 transmission is in reverse (R)

and the rear cargo door is open, no rear view

camera features will display.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees

what you are towing. 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 when you connect the trailer

tow connector.

The camera may not operate correctly

under the following conditions:

• Nighttime or dark areas if one or both

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 rear of your vehicle is hit or

damaged, causing the camera to

become misaligned.

Camera System Settings

You can access the rear view camera

system settings through the display screen.

See General Information (page 102).

Camera Guidelines

Note: Active guidelines are only available

when the transmission is in reverse (R).

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed

the steering wheel to point the guidelines

toward an intended path. If you change the

steering wheel position while reversing,

your vehicle might deviate from the original

intended path.

Parking Aids

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and

out depending on the steering wheel

position. The active guidelines do not

display 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.

Equipped)

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.

Manual Zoom

WARNING

When manual zoom is on, the full

area behind your vehicle may not

show. Be aware of your surroundings

when using the manual zoom feature.

Note: Manual zoom is only available when

the transmission is in reverse (R).

Note: When you enable manual zoom, only

the centerline is shown.

Selectable settings for this feature are

Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the

symbol in the camera screen to change the

view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.

This allows you to get a closer view of an

object behind your vehicle. The zoomed

image keeps the bumper in the image to

provide a reference. The zoom is only

active while the transmission is in reverse

(R).

Rear Camera Delay

Selectable settings for this feature are ON

and OFF. The default setting for the rear

camera delay is 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)

(automatic transmission).

• You apply the parking brake (manual

transmission).

system that still requires the driver

to use it in conjunction with looking

out the windows, and checking the interior
