2022 FORD F-150 touch screen operation

WHAT IS TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE
Trailer backup assistance utilizes the
control knob on the instrument panel to
help you steer a trailer. Turn the control
knob in the direction you want the trailer
to go and the system steers the vehicle.
HOW DOES TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE WORK
Trailer backup assistance uses a sticker or
sensor attached to the trailer to detect the
trailer angle relative to the towing vehicle
and provides instructions, graphics and
camera views on the touchscreen.
TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the
safe operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving. WARNING: This system is an extra
driving aid. It does not replace your
attention and judgment, or the need to
apply the brakes. This system does NOT
automatically brake your vehicle. If you
fail to press the brake pedal when
necessary, you may collide with another
vehicle.
Note: The system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always be aware of
your vehicle and trailer combination, and
the surrounding environment.
Note: The system does not detect or
prevent your vehicle or trailer from making
contact with obstacles in the surrounding
environment.
Note: The front end of your vehicle swings
out when changing the direction of the
trailer.
Note: In certain conditions, the trailer could
turn faster or the trailer angle could increase
more than anticipated. Always monitor the
clearance between the trailer and vehicle
and the surroundings.

saves the trailer information for the next
time you use that trailer.
The system only works with conventional
trailers. It does not work with other types
including fifth-wheel and gooseneck. The
following illustration shows examples of
conventional trailers on the left-hand side.

What does it mean if the trailer is
at its maximum angle or the
system deactivated by trailer
angle?
•
You are at the maximum controllable
trailer angle for the system. Place your
vehicle in drive (D) and pull forward to
get the truck and trailer back to an
in-line position.
• The trailer could need to be
recalibrated. Check that the correct
trailer is selected in the touchscreen.
Verify the sensor is installed according
to the instructions included in the
sensor kit and check that the drawbar
and the trailer dimensions are within
the allowed range. Then, delete the
trailer from the system and repeat the
setup process to calibrate the trailer.
• The drawbar or the trailer dimensions
are outside of the supported range. The
system is designed to work with
drawbars that have a license plate to
hitch ball center measurement of
9–18 in (23–46 cm) when installed.
The system is designed to work with
trailers that have a hitch point to center
of the axle or axles measurement of
6– 33 ft (1.85– 10.05 m)
. Do not
attempt to use drawbars or trailers that
have a length outside of this range as
the system performance degrades and
could cause improper system function.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
correctly installed. What does it mean when the
system tells you to take control of
the steering wheel?
•
You have touched the steering wheel
when the system is steering. Avoid
touching the wheel during system
operation.
• You have exceeded the maximum
speed for the feature. The system is no
longer steering the vehicle and you
must take over steering.
• The system does not detect the trailer.
The system is no longer steering the
vehicle and you must take over
steering.
• An internal condition for system
operation is not met that requires your
vehicle to return to manual control of
the steering.
How do I use a sticker if I have
previously setup a trailer with the
sensor?
• Disconnect the sensor wiring and add
a new trailer to the system and follow
the instructions for setup with a sticker.
See Applying the Trailer Reversing
Aid Sticker (page 424). If your vehicle
does not support the sticker option, the
touchscreen instructs you to install the
sensor again.
