Default 360 view camera

If the backup camera auto turned on when you put in reverse, would it make sense for the front camera to turns on when the truck slow down to say, below 5mph? I hit the button to turn it on just about every single time I pull up to a parking spot, incredibly helpful thing to have.

The front camera is supposed to turn on by itself when you get close to something. Are you saying it is not doing that?

Definitely NOT, IMO.

I sure don't want the front cam view flashing on every time I slow to a stop or slow-down below ANY speed.

Very close proximity turn-on, which it has, makes perfect sense.

Punch the button on the dash when pulling into a parking space to get front + overhead view is too easy, works like a treat to ensure you're within the lines.

My front camera has never turned on and shown up on the truck screen. Never knew it was supposed to.

If that's the case, you may have a configuration issue.

I love the cameras. I do turn on the front one when pulling in parking. What I wish Is why doesn't the side cameras turn on when you turn on the blinker. It dose when I'm towing.

Ford has missed a Hugh opportunity with the 360 cameras. Like turning on the side cameras while turning or allowing recording.
