Front/360 camera settings… anyone know?

Hey folks, I’m loving my new Maverick, but I’ve got a question about the front/360 camera. When I’m parking, I press the button to activate the front camera, and when I shift into reverse, it switches to the reverse view, which is great. But when I shift back into drive, it doesn’t automatically go back to the front camera. I have to press the button again. I’ve looked through the settings and couldn’t find anything. Is there a way to make it switch back to the front camera automatically? Appreciate any tips!

I don’t think so. That sounds like something really specific they’d have to program for. Honestly, I wish the side cameras came on automatically with the turn signals. That’d be super handy.

Yeah, side cameras with turn signals would be a game-changer for sure. Maybe in the next update?

I’m pretty sure it’ll automatically activate the front camera at low speeds if it thinks you’re about to hit something. But as for switching back to the front camera after reverse, I don’t think that’s an option right now.

Wait, the front camera comes on when the sensors detect something? I didn’t know that! That’s actually pretty cool.

Honestly, this feels like one of those things Ford might tweak with an update if enough people request it. For now, it’s probably just manual button presses. Kinda annoying, though.

Totally agree—it’s a small thing, but it’d make parking so much smoother. I might send feedback through FordPass and see what happens.

Have you tried playing around with the camera settings in the SYNC menu? There might be an option buried in there somewhere.

I’ve looked, but I didn’t see anything that seemed like it would change this. Might give it another shot just in case I missed something.

If it really bugs you, maybe reach out to your dealer or Ford support. They might be able to confirm if it’s a feature or not.

Good idea! I’ll ask the dealer next time I’m in. Maybe they’ll have some insight.
