Lincoln Aviator: Rear View Camera / Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in 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.
The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
- Active guidelines (if equipped): Show the
intended path of your vehicle when
reversing.
- Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another object
behind you.
- Centerline: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object (for example, a
trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door is open, no
rear view camera features 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 camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
- Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.
- Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
You can also use the rear washer to
clean the camera.
- The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to become
misaligned.
Camera System Settings
Depending on your vehicle options, the rear
view camera system settings may be in the
following:
- Information display.
- Touchscreen.
Note: Active guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R).

- Active guidelines (If equipped)
- Centerline
- Fixed guideline: Green zone
- Fixed guideline: Yellow zone
- Fixed guideline: Red zone
- Rear bumper
Active guidelines are only shown 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 while reversing, your
vehicle might deviate from the original
intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guidelines do not display
when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle.
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...
The system provides an image of your
vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones
highlight green, yellow and red when the
parking aid sensors detect an object in the
coverage area...
