Tried Active Park Assist the night before last. Maybe it’s me not understanding how to operate it, but it tried to park me on a parking lot island. I’m pretty sure the lady sitting in a space eating dinner was really entertained (or scared). Not as scared as I was.

It won't park between two lines, it seems that there has to be a car on one side or the other for it to work.

I have a 22 and it's definitely not popping up the camera, I've been threw all settings. I only get the screen with the yellow and the red alerts. 🤔
I have a Lariat-ER, but recently noticed that when I turn off this switch, my forward badge camera would not activate when pulling up close to a car or wall ahead of me, I use it to get my truck in just far enough to close the garage door, flipped it back on and the front camera resumed working.

I do the same thing backing in everyday to my garage, but the parking sensor is automatically reset because i have to turn it off everyday. I really this is not a feature on the SR Lariat. I will make sure its on at my next startup. Thanks

I did find out from my dealer that only the LR lightnings have the front camera popup when you get close to a object, SR has a popup but its only shows the sensors as you get closer with yellow and and red warnings.

That’s a complete lie from the dealer. I have an 22 XLT 311 SR and my camera pops up. I need it daily to pull back into my garage.

He said they checked in my software and that feature wasn't there.
Thanks I will have to try another dealer to see if I get a different answer.

The feature is 360-degree Camera and Forward Sensing System which are standard on all trims XLT and up. Did you try the switch @TaxmanHog suggested?

I'm pretty sure I saw camera on this popup on my Pro with 360 camera option. I'll try to remember to test it.

My SR pops up. And why would you ever ask a dealer? Every time I talk to someone at the dealership I teach them something.

Yes I use that button all the time when backing in my garage and it is always on when I go to back in again, I never have to turn it back on.

I picked up my Lighting yesterday for the 23C38 UPDATE SYNC SOFTWARE recall, Service looked into it again and still says that I don't have this option. Also I messaged Ford on this forum and was given a case # sent to the EV Team for further review. They called me the same day and said it was not optioned with my Lightning, and that I might be able to have the dealer program the feature for me as I have all the hardware for it.
I have SR with tow package ,scales and the extra cooling system, the only thing I don't have is Blue Cruise. Does anyone have popup front camera without have Blue Cruise?
