Ford E-350 (2018 year). Manual — part 23

REAR VIEW CAMERA

(If Equipped)

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.

Example

E142435

The camera is located on the rear of your
vehicle.

Note: Camera location may vary depending
on the configuration of your vehicle.

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 image may remain on
momentarily when you shift the
transmission out of reverse (R). If your
vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h) or
10 seconds elapse and the image remains
on, have your system inspected by an
authorized dealer.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing behind your vehicle.
This might not provide adequate coverage
as it usually provides in normal operation
and you might not see some objects.

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.

Rear Camera Delay

When shifting the transmission out of
reverse (R) and into any gear other than
park (P), the camera image remains on
until your vehicle speed reaches 6 mph
(10 km/h) or 10 seconds elapses. This
occurs when the rear camera delay feature
is ON.

Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

(If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or when the
road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed could increase above
the set speed. The system does not

apply the brakes.

To help the system to maintain the set
speed when going downhill, downshift to
a lower gear.

(If Equipped)

STEERING

To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•

Never hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points (until it stops)
for more than three to five seconds
when the engine is running.

•

Do not operate the vehicle with a low
power steering pump fluid level (below
the MIN mark on the reservoir).

•

Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low power
steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your dealer.

•

Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low power steering fluid. Check for
low power steering pump fluid level
before seeking service by your dealer.

•

Do not fill the power steering pump
reservoir above the MAX mark on the
reservoir, as this may result in leaks
from the reservoir.

If the power steering system breaks down
(or if the engine is turned off), you can
steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•

an improperly inflated tire

•

uneven tire wear

•

loose or worn suspension components

•

loose or worn steering components

•

improper vehicle alignment

If any steering components are serviced or
replaced, install new fasteners (many are
coated with thread adhesive or have
prevailing torque features which may not
be re-used). Never re-use a bolt or nut.
Torque fasteners to specifications.

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to
wander or pull.
