Refer to the instructions included with your
trailer sensor for detailed information
regarding installation.
Note:
Make sure the arrows on the sensor
housing are facing up. Mount the sensor to
a vertical part of the trailer that pivots when
you turn your vehicle. Do not mount to a
stationary surface such as the truck side of
the trailer hitch.
Note: To setup a trailer with a sensor, install
the sensor on the trailer and plug the
connector into the connector in your bumper
prior to configuring the trailer. Trailers that
were set up with a sensor still require the
sensor to function. To change a trailer to
use the sticker, delete the trailer in the
system and repeat the trailer setup with the
sticker.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the touchscreen to
complete the calibration process. Note:
To calibrate the system, you need an
area where you can safely drive forward and
turn left or right. An open parking lot is an
ideal place to perform the calibration. Note:
Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the touchscreen. If
the steering wheel is in a turned position
during this instruction, the calibration
pauses.
Note: During calibration, the system
determines the trailer length. The system
supports trailer lengths of 6– 33 ft
(1.85– 10.05 m) distance from the hitch
point to the center of the axle or axles. 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. 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.
Note: The touchscreen shows if you are
going too slow or fast. Calibration pauses if
the speed is outside the required range of
2 –9 mph (4– 15 km/h)
.
Note: You need to complete at least a 90°
turn, and longer trailers could require a 180°
turn. Camera trailer tracking requires the
system to locate the hitch ball as well as
determine the trailer length. Some trailers
could require you to drive straight then turn
multiple times before calibration completes.
The touchscreen provides instructions and
notifies you when calibration completes.
Note: For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night when calibrating the system
with the sticker.
SWITCHING TRAILER
REVERSE GUIDANCE ON AND
OFF
Shift into reverse (R), press the rear
camera button to expand the menu, press
the trailer icon and use the touchscreen to
select the connected trailer.

Hitch Angle Graphic
The hitch angle graphic shows a small
representation of your truck and trailer with
visual feedback to help you monitor the
trailer. The graphic shows two different
colored lines for the trailer hitch angle. A
black line shows you where your trailer is
in relation to your vehicle. The white line
represents the amount the trailer can turn
based on steering wheel position.
The graphic shows a yellow and red zone
for the hitch angle to warn you of a high
angle condition that could require you to
pull forward to reduce the hitch angle. The
angle limits for each zone vary based on
the trailer length. The yellow zone indicates you are
approaching the maximum controllable
trailer angle for the system. When the
trailer enters this zone, it is more difficult
to reduce the trailer turn when backing up.
It may be necessary to put your vehicle
back into drive (D) and pull forward to get
the truck and trailer back to an in-line
position.
The red zone indicates you have exceeded
the maximum controllable trailer angle for
the system. Immediately stop reversing.
Put your vehicle into drive (D) and pull
forward until the trailer is no longer in the
red zone.

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

Why does the system not detect a
sensor?
•
There could be an issue with the
connection. Make sure that the 12-way
connector is fully inserted into the
12-way socket, that the red rubber seal
is not visible when the connector is fully
inserted and that the wiring harness
sensor connection is fully inserted at
the trailer sensor.
• The wiring harness could be damaged.
Check for damaged wiring between the
12-way connector and the trailer
sensor.
• There could be multiple sensors
connected to your vehicle. Make sure
only one sensor is connected at a time.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration
when setting up the system with
the sensor?
• The trailer length could be outside the
allowed range. 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).
• The road surface could be too rough or
bumpy. Try calibrating the system on
a smoother road surface, such as an
open parking lot.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up. What does it mean if the system
does not detect a trailer when
configured with a sensor?
•
Verify that you properly connected the
sensor. See
Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 439). Repeat
calibration on a different route if you
have verified sensor installation.
What if I want to use a sensor for
the trailer instead of a sticker?
• Install the sensor and connect the
sensor wiring before adding the new
trailer to the system. You must connect
the sensor before you add the trailer.
If your vehicle did not come with a
sensor, you can purchase one from your
authorized dealer.

RECOVERY TOWING
ACCESSING THE FRONT TOWING
POINT
WARNING: Using recovery hooks
is dangerous and should only be done by
a person familiar with proper vehicle
recovery safety practices. Improper use
of recovery hooks may cause hook failure
or separation from the vehicle and could
result in serious injury or death. WARNING:
Slowly remove the
slack from the recovery strap prior to
pulling. Failure to do so can introduce
significantly higher loads which can
cause the recovery hooks to break off, or
the recovery strap to fail which can cause
serious injury or death. WARNING:
Never link two straps
together with a clevis pin. These heavy
metal objects could become projectiles
if the strap breaks and can cause serious
injury or death. WARNING:
Switch the ignition off
before removing the recovery hook.
Failure to do so could result in personal
injury. WARNING: The recovery hook can
become hot. Let the recovery hook cool
down before removing it. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has frame-mounted front
recovery hooks.
Note: Do not apply a load to the recovery
hooks that is greater than the gross vehicle
weight rating of your vehicle. Before using recovery hooks:
•
Make sure all attaching points are
secure and capable of withstanding
the applied load.
• Do not use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
• Only use recovery straps that have a
minimum breaking strength two to
three times the gross vehicle weight of
the stuck vehicle.
• Make sure the recovery strap is in good
condition and free of visible cuts, tears
or damage.
• Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet, and
place it over the recovery strap to help
absorb the energy in the event the
strap breaks.
• Make sure the stuck vehicle is not
loaded heavier than its gross vehicle
weight rating specified on the
certification label.
• Align the tow vehicle and stuck vehicle
in a straight line, within 10 degrees.
• Keep bystanders to the sides of the
vehicle, at a distance of at least twice
the length of the recovery strap. This
helps avoid injury from the hazard of a
recovery hook or strap breaking, or a
vehicle lurching into their path.

THE MEDIATION AND
ARBITRATION PROGRAM
For vehicles delivered to authorized
Canadian dealers. In those cases where
you continue to feel that the efforts by Ford
of Canada and the authorized dealer to
resolve a factory-related vehicle service
concern have been unsatisfactory, Ford of
Canada participates in an impartial third
party mediation/arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). The CAMVAP program is a straightforward
and relatively speedy alternative to resolve
a disagreement when all other efforts to
produce a settlement have failed. This
procedure is without cost to you and is
designed to eliminate the need for lengthy
and expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program, impartial
third-party arbitrators conduct hearings at
mutually convenient times and places in
an informal environment. These impartial
arbitrators review the positions of the
parties, make decisions and, when
appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair,
and final as the arbitrator
’s award is
binding on both you and Ford of Canada.
CAMVAP services are available in all
Canadian territories and provinces. For
more information, without charge or
obligation, call your CAMVAP Provincial
Administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685
