2023 FORD SUPER DUTY sensor

What does it mean when the systemtells you to take control of the steeringwheel?
The system is no longer steering thevehicle and you must take oversteering. There are four reasons thesystem could display this message.The first reason the system coulddisplay this message is that you havetouched the steering wheel when thesystem is steering. The second reasonthe system could display this messageis that you have exceeded themaximum speed for the feature. Thethird reason the system could displaythis message is that the trailer is notdetected. The final reason the systemcould display this message is that aninternal condition for system operationis not met that requires your vehicle toreturn to manual control of thesteering.
How do I use a sticker if I havepreviously setup a trailer with thesensor?
Disconnect the sensor wiring and adda new trailer to the system and followthe instructions for setup with asticker. See Applying the TrailerReverse Aid Sticker (page 403). Ifyour vehicle does not support thesticker option, the touchscreeninstructs you to install the sensoragain.
What if I want to use a sensor for thetrailer instead of a sticker?
Install the sensor and connect thesensor wiring before adding the newtrailer to the system. You mustconnect the sensor before you add thetrailer. If your vehicle did not come witha sensor, you can purchase one fromyour authorized dealer.
What does it mean if the system doesnot detect a trailer that is setup with asticker?
The system requires a clear view of thesticker placed on the trailer. You mustkeep the camera lens and sticker cleanfor the system to correctly operate. Ifthe system 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 ReverseAid Sticker (page 403). Some trailersare not compatible with the stickerand camera system. If the systemconsistently does not detect the trailerwith the sticker setup, you may chooseto setup the trailer with 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.
