Get Parking Aids Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Sixth Generation (2015-2023)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

To help avoid personal injury, always

use caution when in reverse (R) and

when using the sensing system.

The system may not detect objects

with surfaces that absorb reflection.

Always drive with due care and

attention. Failure to take care may result

in a crash.

Traffic control systems, inclement

weather, air brakes, external motors

and fans may affect the correct

operation of the sensing system.This may

cause reduced performance or false alerts.

The system may not detect small or

moving objects, particularly those

close to the ground.

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with

MyKey™, the sensing system cannot be

turned off when a MyKey™ is present. See

Principle of Operation (page 33).

Note: Keep the sensors, located on the

bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and

large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors

are covered, the system’s accuracy can be

affected. Do not clean the sensors with

sharp objects.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned

or bent, the sensing zone may be altered

causing inaccurate measurement of

obstacles or false alerts.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed

around the bumper or fascia may create

false alerts. For example, large trailer

hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate

brackets, bumper covers or any other device

that may block the normal detection zone

of the system. Remove the add-on device

to prevent false alerts.

Note: When a trailer is connected to your

vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the

trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable

the rear parking aid when a trailer is

connected to prevent the alert.

The sensing system warns the driver of

obstacles within a certain range of your

vehicle. The system turns on automatically

whenever you switch the ignition on.

The system can be switched off through

the information display menu or from the

pop-up message that appears once you

shift the transmission into reverse (R). See

General Information (page 66).

If a fault is present in the system, a warning

message appears in the information

display. See Information Messages

(page 69).

REAR PARKING AID

The rear sensors are only active when the

transmission is in reverse (R). As your

vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the

rate of the audible warning increases.

When the obstacle is less than 30 cm

away, the warning sounds continuously. If

the system detects a stationary or receding

object farther than 30 cm from the corners

of the bumper, the tone sounds for only

three seconds. Once the system detects

an object approaching, the warning sounds

again.

Coverage area of up to 1.8 m from the rear

bumper. There may be decreased coverage

area at the outer corners of the bumper.

The system detects certain objects while

the transmission is in reverse (R) :

• Your vehicle is moving toward a

stationary object at a speed of 5 km/h

or less.

• Your vehicle is not moving, but a

moving object is approaching the rear

of your vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h or

less.

• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of

less than 5 km/h and a moving object

is approaching the rear of your vehicle

at a speed of less than 5 km/h.

The system provides audio warnings only

when your vehicle is moving or when your

vehicle is stationary and the detected

obstacle is less than 30 cm away from the

bumper.

Obstacle Distance Indicator (If

Equipped)

The system provides obstacle distance

indication through the information display.

The distance indicator displays when the

transmission is in reverse (R).

The indicator displays:

• As the distance to the obstacle

decreases the indicator blocks

illuminate and move towards the

vehicle icon.

• If there is no obstacle detected, the

distance indicator blocks are grayed

out.

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.

Do not switch the camera features

on or off when your vehicle is 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.

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 5 km/h and may

not detect certain angular or moving objects.

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.

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)

and the luggage compartment is open, no

camera features will display.

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 are only available

when the transmission is in reverse (R).

Note: Upon a battery disconnect, the active

guidelines may not be functional until your

vehicle has been driven a short distance and

exceeds a speed of 20 km/h.

Active guidelines only show with fixed

guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn

the steering wheel to point the guidelines

toward an intended path. If the steering

wheel position changes while reversing,

your vehicle might deviate from the original

intended path.

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and

out depending on the steering wheel

position. The active guidelines do not show

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.

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). When

manual zoom is enabled, 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 feature 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). When the transmission shifts

out of reverse (R), the feature

automatically turns off and must be reset

when it is used again.

Camera System Settings

The rear view camera system settings can

be accessed through the display screen.

See General Information (page 66).
