WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The tailgate and doors must be fully closed for correct operation of the 360 degree view camera system.

NOTE: The front camera automatically switch on when the terrain management system is in mud/sand, rock crawl, or Baja mode and the vehicle speed is less than 24 km/h (15 mph).

The 360 degree view camera system is capable of generating several different views using the front, rear, LH side and RH side cameras, and the IPMB. The IPMB processes the video signals from the 4 cameras and generates the appropriate views that are displayed on the FDIM. The views that are displayed are determined by the transmission gear selector position.

When the ignition is ON and reverse gear is selected, the rear camera views are shown on the FDIM. The Rear 360 + Normal view is shown first. Subsequent presses of the camera selection switch when reverse gear is selected allows the driver to cycle through the rear camera views in the following order:

View order	View name	Description
1	Rear 360 + Normal	Contains the normal rear camera view, shown next to a 360 degree camera view.
2	Rear Normal	Provides an image of what is directly behind the vehicle.
3	Rear Split View	Provides an extended wide angle image of what is behind the vehicle.

When the ignition is ON and any gear except reverse selected, the front camera and 360 degree views are shown on the FDIM when the camera selection switch is pressed. The front images are available until the vehicle speed reaches 15 km/h (9 mph). The Front 360 + Normal view is shown first. Subsequent presses of the camera selection switch allows the driver to cycle through the front camera views in the following order:

View order	View name	Description
1	Front 360 + Normal	Contains the normal front camera view, shown next to a 360 degree camera view.
2	Front Normal	Provides an image of what is directly in front of the vehicle.
3	Front Split View	Provides an extended wide angle image is what is in front of the vehicle.

To enable the front or rear camera displays, the IPMB monitors the camera selection switch (integral to the FCIM), gear position and vehicle speed messages. The PCM sends the gear position and vehicle speed messages to the GWM through the HS-CAN1 and the FCIM sends the camera selection switch status message to the GWM through the MS-CAN. The GWM then sends the messages to the IPMB via HS-CAN2.

All camera views are generated by the IPMB, using the video signals from one or more of the cameras. The video signals are sent from the cameras to the IPMB through twisted pair, shielded circuits. The IPMB processes the image(s) from the cameras and sends a single image with the desired view to the APIM.
