2023 FORD MUSTANG transmission

The camera is located on the rear cargodoor.
Using the Rear View CameraSystem
The rear view camera system displayswhat is behind your vehicle when you placethe transmission in reverse (R).
Note:The reverse sensing system is noteffective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)and may not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The system uses two types of guides tohelp you see what is behind your vehicle:
•Fixed guidelines: Show the actual pathyour vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpfulwhen backing into a parking space oraligning your vehicle with anotherobject behind you.
•Centerline: Helps align the center ofyour vehicle with an object.
Note:If the transmission is in reverse (R)and the luggage compartment is open, nocamera features will display.
The camera may not operate correctlyunder the following conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if the reverselamps are not operating.
•Mud, water or debris obstructs thecamera's view. Clean the lens with asoft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasivecleaner.
•The camera is misaligned due todamage to the rear of your vehicle.
Camera Guidelines
Note:Active guidelines are only availablewhen the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:Upon a battery disconnect, the activeguidelines may not be functional until yourvehicle has been driven a short distance andexceeds a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

Active guidelines only show with fixedguidelines. To use active guidelines, turnthe steering wheel to point the guidelinestoward an intended path. If the steeringwheel position changes while reversing,your vehicle might deviate from the originalintended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in andout depending on the steering wheelposition. The active guidelines do not showwhen the steering wheel position isstraight.
Always use caution while reversing.Objects in the red zone are closest to yourvehicle and objects in the green zone arefarther away. Objects are getting closer toyour vehicle as they move from the greenzone to the yellow or red zones. Use theside view mirrors and rear view mirror toget better coverage on both sides and rearof your vehicle.
Manual Zoom
WARNING: When manual zoom ison, the full area behind your vehicle maynot show. Be aware of your surroundingswhen using the manual zoom feature.
Note:Manual zoom is only available whenthe transmission is in reverse (R). Whenmanual zoom is enabled, only the centerlineis shown.
Selectable settings for this feature areZoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press thesymbol in the camera screen to change theview. The default setting is Zoom OFF.
This feature allows you to get a closer viewof an object behind your vehicle. Thezoomed image keeps the bumper in theimage to provide a reference.
