Ford F-150 2023, Owner'S Manual

Page: 461 / 786

You need to purchase a sensor kit and 7/12
way connector to replace the 7/4 way
connector on your vehicle to setup the
system with a sensor. See your authorized
dealer.
Refer to the instructions included with your
trailer sensor for detailed information
regarding installation.
Note: Make sure the arrows on the sensor
housing are facing up. Mount the sensor to
a vertical part of the trailer that pivots when
you turn your vehicle. Do not mount to a
stationary surface such as the truck side of
the trailer hitch.
Note: To setup a trailer with a sensor, install
the sensor on the trailer and plug the
connector into the connector in your bumper
prior to configuring the trailer. Trailers that
were set up with a sensor still require the
sensor to function. To change a trailer to
use the sticker, delete the trailer in the
system and repeat the trailer setup with the
sticker.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the touchscreen to
complete the calibration process.
E352329
Note: To calibrate the system, you need an
area where you can safely drive forward and
turn left or right. An open parking lot is an
ideal place to perform the calibration.
Note: Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the touchscreen. If
the steering wheel is in a turned position
during this instruction, the calibration
pauses.
Note: During calibration, the system
determines the trailer length. The system
supports trailer lengths of 6–33 ft
(1.85–10.05 m) distance from the hitch
point to the center of the axle or axles. The
system is designed to work with drawbars
that have a license plate to hitch ball center
measurement of 9–18 in (23–46 cm) when
installed. Do not attempt to use drawbars
or trailers that have a length outside of this
range as the system performance degrades
and could cause improper system function.
Note: The touchscreen shows if you are
going too slow or fast. Calibration pauses if
the speed is outside the required range of
2–9 mph (4–15 km/h).
Note: You need to complete at least a 90°
turn, and longer trailers could require a 180°
turn. Camera trailer tracking requires the
system to locate the hitch ball as well as
determine the trailer length. Some trailers
could require you to drive straight then turn
multiple times before calibration completes.
The touchscreen provides instructions and
notifies you when calibration completes.
Note: For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night when calibrating the system
with the sticker.
