WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes thatyou can select for different drivingconditions. Depending on the drive modethat you select, the system adjusts variousvehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Selectable drive modes change variouselectronic and mechanical settings withinyour vehicle to tailor its performance anddriving characteristics to on-road oroff-road driving conditions. Steering feeland effort, traction control, stabilitycontrol, chassis controls, powertrainresponse, transmissions shift points,four-wheel driveline setting, exhaust noiselevel and suspension dampening areautomatically altered to a pre-determinedsetting depending upon the drive modethat is selected.
Note:Your vehicle has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor all systems forproper operation. If a drive mode isunavailable due to a system fault, yourvehicle defaults to normal mode and thedriveline remains in the four-wheel drivesetting that was last selected prior to thesystem fault.
Note:Your vehicle reverts to normal modeeach time it is started. If you shut yourvehicle off in a drive mode other thannormal mode, at startup the instrumentcluster screen displays a pop-up asking ifyou would like to return to your last useddrive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,your vehicle returns to the last selected drivemode and the default four-wheel drivelinesetting associated with that drive mode. Ifyou select no, your vehicle remains in normalmode and the default four-wheel drivelinesetting associated with that drive mode. Ifyou do not select yes or no the pop upmessage times out, your vehicle remains innormal mode, and the four-wheel drivelinesetting remains in its last used setting.

Note:Automatic emergency braking andevasive steering turn on every time youswitch the ignition on.
Note:If your vehicle has a radar sensor, werecommend that you switch the system offif you install a snow plow or similar objectin such a way that it may block the radarsensor. Your vehicle remembers the selectedsetting across key cycles.
Note:If you switch automatic emergencybraking off, evasive steering assist switchesoff.
LOCATING THE PRE-
COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS
Camera.1.
Radar sensor (if equipped).2.
If a message regarding a blocked sensoror camera appears in the informationdisplay, something is obstructing the radarsignals or camera images. The radar sensoris behind the fascia cover in the center ofthe lower grille. With a blocked sensor orcamera, the system may not function, orperformance may reduce. SeePre-Collision Assist – InformationMessages (page 397).
Note:Proper system operation requires aclear view of the road by the camera. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera's field of view repaired.
Note:If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs and your vehiclehas a radar sensor, the radar sensing zonecould change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detections. Have your vehicleserviced to have the radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
Note:If your vehicle detects excessive heatat the camera or a potential misalignmentcondition, a message could display in theinformation display indicating temporarysensor unavailability. When operationalconditions are correct, the messagedeactivates. For example, when the ambienttemperature around the sensor decreasesor the sensor recalibrates successfully.
DISTANCE INDICATION
WHAT IS DISTANCE INDICATION
Distance indication displays the gapbetween your vehicle and the vehicleahead of you.
Note:The graphic does not display if youswitch on cruise control or adaptive cruisecontrol.

TRAILER BACKUP ASSISTANCE– FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS
What does it mean if the systemdoes not detect a trailer that issetup with a sticker?
•The system could be having troubleidentifying the sticker. The systemrequires a clear view of the stickerplaced on the trailer. You must keepthe camera lens and sticker clean forthe system to correctly operate. If thesystem cannot initially detect thetrailer, it could be necessary for you tochange the lighting conditions bymoving your vehicle and trailer orwaiting until the conditions change.See Applying the Trailer ReversingAid Sticker (page 441). Deleting thetrailer and repeating the setup andcalibration could improve performance,but some trailers are not compatiblewith the sticker and camera system. Ifthe system consistently does notdetect the trailer with the sticker setup,you may choose to setup the trailerwith a sensor.
Note:The system is designed to be usedwith the same trailer connection every timeyou choose the trailer from the touchscreen.When using a different drawbar or adifferent pin hole on drawbars with morethan one, connecting the drawbar to yourvehicle affects the trailer position and youmay need to repeat the trailer setup andcalibration process.
Why does the trailer not reversestraight?
•The road conditions, such as roadcamber and road slope, could affecthow straight the system can reverse.You can compensate for the trailerdrifting to the right or left by slowlyturning the knob until the trailer isfollowing your desired path and thenholding the knob in that position.
•Other factors, such as the hitchconnection or trailer suspension, couldaffect how straight the system canreverse the trailer. You cancompensate for the trailer drifting tothe right or left by slowly turning theknob until the trailer is following yourdesired path and then holding the knobin that position.
•The sensor could be incorrectlyinstalled. Make sure the sensor iscorrectly installed.
What does it mean if the systemremains on one message for anextended time during calibrationwhen setting up the system withthe sticker?
•The camera could require cleaning.
•You could have a blocked sticker. Verifythe sticker is in the proper location. SeeApplying the Trailer Reversing AidSticker (page 441).
•The drawbar could be outside of theallowed range of 4–19 in (10–48 cm).

2023 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202206, DOMTrailer Backup Assistance (If Equipped)

•The system could have difficultiesrecognizing the sticker based onenvironmental factors. You could needto move to a different area to changethe lighting and background or youcould need to change the direction youare driving. You could also try settingup the system at a different time ofday.
•Some trailers are not compatible withthe sticker and camera system. If theissue persists, set up the trailer with asensor purchased from your authorizeddealer. See Trailer SensorInstallation (page 441).
What does it mean if the systempauses during calibration?
•There could be steering input or trailermovement during the straight driveportion of the calibration process.
What does it mean if the systemdisplays hold steering steadyduring turn?
•Part of the calibration process for thesticker setup requires a steady turn. Ifyou are continually moving the steeringwheel during the turn, this delays thecalibration process. To enable thecalibration process, hold the steeringwheel at the same position whenturning.
What does it mean if the systemdisplays that it is not available?
•There could be a sub-system that thesystem uses that is not correctlyoperating. If the system continues todisplay it is not available, visit yourauthorized dealer to have your vehiclechecked.
•There could be a battery voltage issue.Make sure the battery is correctlycharged. If the system continues todisplay it is not available, visit yourauthorized dealer to have your vehiclechecked.
What does it mean if the systemdisplays that driving is required toinitialize steering?
•The steering system needs to learninternal parameters to fully turn on thefeature. Drive your vehicle straightforward above 25 mph (40 km/h) forapproximately 5 minutes.
•Your vehicle is new, there is a batteryvoltage issue or you have serviced thesteering system.
What does it mean if the systemrequires you to pull forward toinitialize?
•This occurs when the vehicle has notmoved during the current key cycleafter you connect and select the trailerin the touchscreen, or you operate thesystem at speeds below 1 mph(1 km/h) for an extended period oftime. Drive forward above 2 mph(3 km/h) and the system indicateswhen it initializes.
