TRAILER BACKUP ASSISTANCE
– FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What does it mean if the system
does not detect a trailer that is
setup with a sticker?
•
The system could be having trouble
identifying the sticker. The system
requires a clear view of the sticker
placed on the trailer. You must keep
the camera lens and sticker clean for
the system to correctly operate. If the
system cannot initially detect the
trailer, it could be necessary for you to
change the lighting conditions by
moving your vehicle and trailer or
waiting until the conditions change.
See Applying the Trailer Reversing
Aid Sticker (page 424). Deleting the
trailer and repeating the setup and
calibration could improve performance,
but some trailers are not compatible
with the sticker and camera system. If
the system consistently does not
detect the trailer with the sticker setup,
you may choose to setup the trailer
with a sensor.
Note: The system is designed to be used
with the same trailer connection every time
you choose the trailer from the touchscreen.
When using a different drawbar or a
different pin hole on drawbars with more
than one, connecting the drawbar to your
vehicle affects the trailer position and you
may need to repeat the trailer setup and
calibration process. Why does the trailer not reverse
straight?
•
The road conditions, such as road
camber and road slope, could affect
how straight the system can reverse.
You can compensate for the trailer
drifting to the right or left by slowly
turning the knob until the trailer is
following your desired path and then
holding the knob in that position.
• Other factors, such as the hitch
connection or trailer suspension, could
affect how straight the system can
reverse the trailer. You can
compensate for the trailer drifting to
the right or left by slowly turning the
knob until the trailer is following your
desired path and then holding the knob
in that position.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
correctly installed.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration
when setting up the system with
the sticker?
• The camera could require cleaning.
• You could have a blocked sticker. Verify
the sticker is in the proper location. See
Applying the Trailer Reversing Aid
Sticker
(page 424).
• The drawbar could be outside of the
allowed range of
4–19 in (10–48 cm).

•
The system could have difficulties
recognizing the sticker based on
environmental factors. You could need
to move to a different area to change
the lighting and background or you
could need to change the direction you
are driving. You could also try setting
up the system at a different time of
day.
• Some trailers are not compatible with
the sticker and camera system. If the
issue persists, set up the trailer with a
sensor purchased from your authorized
dealer. See Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 424).
What does it mean if the system
pauses during calibration?
• There could be steering input or trailer
movement during the straight drive
portion of the calibration process.
What does it mean if the system
displays hold steering steady
during turn?
• Part of the calibration process for the
sticker setup requires a steady turn. If
you are continually moving the steering
wheel during the turn, this delays the
calibration process. To enable the
calibration process, hold the steering
wheel at the same position when
turning. What does it mean if the system
displays that it is not available?
•
There could be a sub-system that the
system uses that is not correctly
operating. If the system continues to
display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked.
• There could be a battery voltage issue.
Make sure the battery is correctly
charged. If the system continues to
display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked.
What does it mean if the system
displays that driving is required to
initialize steering?
• The steering system needs to learn
internal parameters to fully turn on the
feature. Drive your vehicle straight
forward above
25 mph (40 km/h) for
approximately 5 minutes.
• Your vehicle is new, there is a battery
voltage issue or you have serviced the
steering system.
What does it mean if the system
requires you to pull forward to
initialize?
• This occurs when the vehicle has not
moved during the current key cycle
after you connect and select the trailer
in the touchscreen, or you operate the
system at speeds below
1 mph
(1 km/h) for an extended period of
time. Drive forward above 2 mph
(3 km/h) and the system indicates
when it initializes.

6. Always keep available ground
clearance in mind and pick a route that
minimizes the risk of catching the
underside of the vehicle on an obstacle.
7. When negotiating low speed obstacles,
applying light brake pressure in
conjunction with the throttle will help
prevent the vehicle from jerking and
will allow you to negotiate the obstacle
in a more controlled manner. Using 4L
will also help with this.
8. Off-roading requires a high degree of concentration. Even if your local law
does not prohibit alcohol use while
driving off-road, Ford strongly
recommends against drinking if you
plan to off-road.
Crossing Obstacles
• Review the path ahead before
attempting to cross any obstacle. It is
best if the obstacle is reviewed from
outside the vehicle so that there is a
good understanding of terrain condition
both in front of and behind the
obstacle.
• Approach obstacles slowly.
• If a large obstacle such as a rock
cannot be avoided, choose a path that
places the rock directly under the tire
rather than the undercarriage of the
vehicle. This will help prevent damage
to the vehicle.
• Ditches and washouts should be
crossed at a 45° angle, allowing each
wheel to independently cross the
obstacle.
Hill Climbing WARNING:
Extreme care should
be used when steering the vehicle in
reverse down a slope so as not to cause
the vehicle to swerve out of control. •
Always attempt to climb a steep hill
along the fall line of the slope and not
diagonally.
• If the vehicle is unable to make it up
the hill, DO NOT attempt to turn back
down the slope. Place the vehicle in
low range and slowly back down in
reverse.
• When descending a steep slope, select
low gear and engage hill descent
control. Use the throttle and brake
pedals to control your descent speed.
Note: Hill descent control is functional in
reverse and should be used in this situation.
BASIC OFF-ROAD DRIVING
TECHNIQUES - RAPTOR
Grip the steering wheel with your thumbs
on the outside of the rim. This reduces the
risk of injury due to abrupt steering wheel
motions that occur when negotiating rough
terrain.
If you are driving in a dusty area, be sure to
leave ample distance between your vehicle
and any other vehicles to allow for
adequate vision.
DRIVING OFF-ROAD - RAPTOR
Driving In Snow and Ice WARNING:
Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.
Make sure you allow sufficient distance
between your vehicle and other vehicles
for stopping.

Driving In Sand
When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Driving In Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud.
After driving through mud, clean your
vehicle. Excess mud stuck on the wheels
and tires and rotating components can
cause an imbalance and result in damage.
Note:
The vehicle brakes are less effective
when wet or muddy.
Driving Over Rocks and Gravel
Never attempt to straddle a rock that is
large enough to strike your axles or
undercarriage.
Leave a generous gap between your
vehicle and other vehicles to minimize the
risk of damage. Avoid dust clouds as they
reduce visibility.
Climbing A Hill WARNING: Extreme care should
be used when steering the vehicle in
reverse down a slope so as not to cause
the vehicle to swerve out of control.
Do not drive over the crest of a hill without
seeing what conditions are on the other
side. Do not drive in reverse over a hill
without the aid of an observer.
Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.
A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Note: Too much acceleration can cause
the tires to slip, spin or lose traction,
resulting in loss of vehicle control. Driving Through Water WARNING:
Do not attempt to
cross a deep, fast flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
The key to a safe crossing is the water
depth, current and bottom of the water's
condition. On soft bottoms, the vehicle
sinks in, effectively increasing the water
level on the vehicle. Make sure to consider
this when determining the depth of water.
Determine the depth and speed of the
current before attempting a water crossing.
Be aware that obstacles and debris could
be beneath the water ’s surface.
Note: Cross flowing water at an angle
heading slightly upstream.
Note: Tread lightly and avoid damage to
the environment.
Water can cause permanent damage that
may not be covered by your vehicle
warranty. See
Driving Through Water
Limitations (page 453).
Note: Failure to follow the recommended
speeds can result in vehicle damage.
Muddy waters can reduce the cooling
system effectiveness by depositing debris
into the radiator.
High currents even in shallow water can
wash the dirt out from around your tires or
push your vehicle across slippery rocks or
surfaces.
Do not cross any body of water that is fast
flowing and rising.
