Coverage area of up to 6 ft (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
3 mph
(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
3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving
object is approaching the rear of your
vehicle at a speed of less than
3 mph
(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
12 in (30 cm) away
from the bumper.
Obstacle Distance Indicator
(If
Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance
indication through the display screen. See
Rear View Camera
(page 236). 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 tailgate is ajar.
If the tailgate is ajar, the camera will
be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect. All guidelines
disappear when the tailgate 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 displays
what is behind your vehicle when you shift
the transmission into reverse (R).
During operation, lines appear in the
display that represents the path of your
vehicle and proximity to objects behind it.

The rear view camera is located on the
tailgate.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
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 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 tailgate is ajar, no rear view camera
features are displayed.
Note: If the image does not turn off while
the transmission is not in reverse (R) and
you are driving over a speed of 5 mph
(8 km/h), have the system inspected by an
authorized dealer. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what is being towed behind your vehicle.
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
once the trailer tow connector is engaged.
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 and fixed guidelines
are only available when the transmission is
in reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if
Active or Fixed guidelines are on.
Note: Some vehicles may not come
equipped with guidelines.

display until:
•
Your vehicle speed sufficiently
increases.
• You shift your vehicle into park (P).
• You apply the parking brake on vehicles
with a manual transmission.
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 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 13 ft
(4 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 is only designed to alert
you to moving 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
5 mph
(8 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
5 mph
(8 km/h).
Note: For automatic transmissions, the
Blind Spot Information System does not
function in reverse (R) or park (P).
For manual transmissions, the Blind Spot
Information System is on for all gears
except reverse (R). System Lights and Messages
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.
When the Blind Spot Information System
is alerting on a vehicle and the
corresponding turn signal is ON, the Blind
Spot Information System alert indicator
flashes as an increased warning level.
The alert indicator dims when the system
detects nighttime darkness.
Note:
The alert indicator flashes in case of
an alert and the turn signal is set to that side
at the same time.
System Sensor Blockage 253
Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing Driving AidsE142442 E231384

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (If
Equipped) WARNING
Do not use the cross traffic alert
system as a replacement for using
the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before reversing
out of a parking space. The cross traffic
alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving. Note:
When a trailer is detected, Cross
Traffic Alert automatically turns off.
Cross Traffic Alert is designed to warn you
of vehicles approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in reverse (R). Using the System
Cross Traffic Alert turns on when you start
the engine and you shift into reverse (R).
Once shifted out of reverse (R), Cross
Traffic Alert turns off.
Cross Traffic Alert is designed to detect
vehicles that approach the rear of your
vehicle with a speed up to
37 mph
(60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the
sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
In this first example, the left sensor is only
partially obstructed; zone coverage to the
right is nearly maximized. Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at shallow angles. Here, the left
sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage
on that side is severely limited.
