Symptom
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be
correctly parked.
Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.
The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained.
For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of
different sizes.
A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.
A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example,
a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.
The parking space length or position of parked objects
changes after your vehicle passes the space.
You are using a spare tire or a tire that is significantly
worn more than the other tires.

For example, driving from a heated garage into cold
outside temperature, or after leaving a car wash.
REAR VIEW CAMERA -
VEHICLES WITH: PARKING AID
CAMERA WARNING: The rear view camera
system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use
it in conjunction with the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum coverage. WARNING:
Objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system. WARNING:
The operation of the
camera depends on the outside
temperature, vehicle and road
conditions. WARNING:
Reverse your vehicle
slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Use caution when the
rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image could be
incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.

2021 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, MK3J 19A321 AA enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing Parking Aids

WARNING: Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving. WARNING:
To help avoid personal
injury always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the rear view
camera.
The rear view camera provides an image
of the area behind your vehicle. During
operation, lines appear in the display that
represents the path of your vehicle and
proximity to objects behind it.
Rear View Camera Locations The rear view camera is below the central
high mounted stop lamp or on the rear
cargo door. Using the Rear View Camera
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you shift
the transmission into reverse (R).
Note:
The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)
and the rear cargo door is open, no rear view
camera features will display.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines
may disappear when you connect the trailer
tow connector.
The system may not correctly operate in
any of the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.
• If the camera is obstructed.Clean the
lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
• The camera is misaligned due to
damage to the rear of your vehicle.
Rear View Camera Guidelines WARNING:
Objects above the
camera may not be visible. Check the
area behind your vehicle when necessary.

Active guidelines.
A
Centerline.
B
Fixed guideline: Green zone.
C
Fixed guideline: Yellow zone.
D
Fixed guideline: Red zone.
E
Rear bumper.
F
If the vehicle battery is disconnected, the
guidelines are not fully functional directly
after the battery is reconnected. The
guidelines become fully functional after
you drive your vehicle as straight as
possible for five minutes at a minimum
speed of 31.1 mph (50 km/h). The system uses three types of guidelines
to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• The centerline helps align the center
of your vehicle with a trailer.
• Fixed guidelenes show the actual path
of your vehicle when reversing in a
straight line.This can be helpful when
backing into a parking space or aligning
your vehicle with another object.
Active guidelines are only available with
fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines,
turn the steering wheel to point the
guidelines toward an intended path. If you
change the steering wheel position when
driving in reverse (R), your vehicle might
deviate from the original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. When the steering wheel position
is straight the active guidelines are not
visible. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are further from your vehicle.
Note: Guidelines are only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
