HOW DOES THE MEMORY
FUNCTION WORK
The memory function recalls the position
of these features:
•
Driver seat.
• Power mirrors.
MEMORY FUNCTION
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Before activating the
memory seat, make sure that the area
immediately surrounding the seat is clear
of obstructions and that all occupants
are clear of moving parts. WARNING:
Do not use the memory
function when your vehicle is moving.

information display.
You can save up to three preset memory
positions at any time.
RECALLING A PRESET

WHAT IS THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA
The rear view camera provides a video
image of the area behind your vehicle when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
REAR VIEW CAMERA
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: 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. WARNING:
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. WARNING:
Reverse your vehicle
slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
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 could be
incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury. WARNING:
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:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage and you might not see
some objects. In some vehicles, the guide
lines may disappear when you connect the
trailer tow connector.
LOCATING THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA
The rear view camera is located on the
cargo door. It provides a video image of the
area behind your vehicle.
REAR VIEW CAMERA GUIDE
LINES
Note: Active guide lines and fixed guide
lines are only available when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if the
active or fixed guide lines are on.
240
Escape (CTC) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 02-11-2020, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Rear View Camera

A. Active guide lines.
B. Centerline.
C. Fixed guide line: Green zone.
D. Fixed guide line: Yellow zone.
E. Fixed guide line: Red zone.
F. Rear bumper.
Active guide lines only show with fixed
guide lines. To use active guide lines, turn
the steering wheel to point the guide lines
toward an intended path. If the steering
wheel position changes while reversing,
your vehicle might deviate from the
intended path.
The fixed and active guide lines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guide lines do not
display when the steering wheel position
is straight. Use caution while reversing. Objects in the
red zone are closest to your vehicle and
objects in the green zone are farther away.
Objects get 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.
REAR VIEW CAMERA OBJECT
DISTANCE INDICATORS
The system provides an image of your
vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones
highlight green, yellow, and red when the
parking aid sensors detect an object in the
coverage area.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
SETTINGS
Zooming the Rear View Camera In
and Out
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.
Selectable settings for this feature are
zoom in (+) and zoom out (-). Press the
symbol on 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).
Note: Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
