WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear video camera system consists of the following:

The video camera system visually aids the driver while reversing or reverse parking the vehicle. Fixed guidelines are displayed on the video image to assist the driver in backing into a parking splace or aligning the vehicle with other objects while reversing.
On vehicles equipped with the 8 in (203.2 mm) touchscreen, the video camera system is equipped with the following optional features:
- Fixed guidelines - this feature assists the driver with backing into a parking space or aligning the vehicle with an object.
- Visual park aid alert - this feature assists the driver to visually see the object causing the parking aid system to sound.
- Manual zoom - this feature assists the driver with connecting or towing a trailer allowing the driver to manually zoom closer to an object behind the vehicle.
- Video camera delay - this feature allows the driver to see the image behind the vehicle after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse. The image will not be displayed if the vehicle is shifted into park.
The features are controlled though the FDIM . Refer to the Owner's Literature for information on how to operate the video camera system features.
