Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (2018 year). Manual — part 31

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 luggage
compartment 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).

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 (for
example, a trailer).

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. In
some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear
once you engage 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 camera is misaligned due to
damage to the rear of your vehicle.

Camera Guidelines

Note:

Fixed guidelines are only available

when the transmission is in reverse (R).

Note:

The centerline is only available if

fixed guidelines are on.

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.

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

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.

Note:

Cruise control disengages if the

vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h) below the set speed when driving
uphill.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM

WARNING

Never

use the Blind Spot

Information System as a
replacement for using the interior

and exterior mirrors or looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The Blind
Spot Information System is not a
replacement for careful driving.

A

A

E124788

The Blind Spot Information System is
designed to aid you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot zone
(A). The detection area is on both sides of
your vehicle, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 10 ft
(3 m) beyond the bumper. The system is
designed to alert you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.

Note:

The Blind Spot Information System

does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor detect parked vehicles,
people, animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees). It’s only designed to alert
you to vehicles in the blind spot zones.

Note:

When a vehicle passes quickly

through the blind spot zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.

Using the System

The Blind Spot Information System turns
on when you start the engine and you drive
your vehicle forward above 3 mph
(5 km/h).

For automatic transmissions, the Blind
Spot Information System remains on while
the transmission is in drive (D). If shifted
into reverse (R) or park (P) the Blind Spot
Information System turns off. Once shifted
back into drive (D), the Blind Spot
Information System turns back on when
you drive your vehicle above 3 mph
(5 km/h).

For manual transmissions, the Blind Spot
Information System is on for all gears
except the reverse (R).

Note:

The Blind Spot Information System

does not function in reverse (R) or park (P).

System Lights and Messages

E142442

The Blind Spot Information System
illuminates an amber alert indicator in the
outside mirror on the side of your vehicle
the approaching vehicle is coming from.

The alert indicator dims when the system
detects nighttime darkness.
