Ford Expedition (2018 year). Manual — part 55

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

Active guidelines (if equipped): 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 luggage compartment door or
liftgate is open, no rear view camera
features 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 view camera has a
washer that activates when you use
the rear window washer. See Rear
Window Wiper and Washers

(page

86).

•

The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to
become misaligned.

Camera System Settings

The rear view camera system settings can
be accessed through the display screen.

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed
guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn
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.

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.

Obstacle Distance Indicator

(If

Equipped)

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.

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 reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

•

You shift your vehicle into park (P).

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.
