Having a clear view of your vehicle’s surroundings can make all the difference when navigating parking lots, off-road trails, or busy streets. That’s where Ford’s available 360-degree Camera comes in. This innovative feature provides a bird’s-eye view of the area around your vehicle, helping you drive and park confidently. Here’s what you need to know about using the 360-degree Camera on your Ford.
What is a 360-Degree Camera?
The 360-degree Camera system uses four cameras positioned around the vehicle to provide a complete surround view. Cameras are located in the front grille, under the side mirrors, and on the vehicle’s rear near the license plate or liftgate. The system stitches together the images from these cameras and displays a top-down view on the vehicle’s touchscreen, as if there was a camera directly above your Ford.
This feature is handy for drivers in Willowbrook who frequently navigate crowded parking lots. The 360-degree Camera gives you a clear view of your vehicle’s proximity to other cars, shopping carts, and pedestrians, taking the stress out of parking.
Benefits of the 360-Degree Camera
In addition to the overhead view, the 360-degree Camera system offers several other benefits:
- Front and rear views to see what’s directly ahead of or behind your vehicle
- Split view that provides an extended perspective of the front or rear
- Side views useful for maneuvering in tight spaces or off-road
- Active guide lines that move as you turn the steering wheel to show your projected path
For adventurous drivers in Westmont who like to take their Ford Bronco or F-150 off the beaten path, the 360-degree Camera offers extra peace of mind on the trails. The side camera views help you place your wheels precisely and avoid obstacles.
How to Use the 360-Degree Camera
Using the 360-degree Camera on your Ford is simple. Here’s how:
- Press the camera button below your vehicle’s touchscreen to turn on the 360-degree Camera view.
- Press the view button on the touchscreen to cycle through the different camera perspectives, including Normal, Split, and Top-Down views.
- Use the guide lines on the display to help align your vehicle when parking or backing up. The center line shows the projected path based on your current steering angle.
