Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Open the touchscreen Apps menu and choose Zone Lighting, or open the Zone Lighting control in Settings if that is where the current software places it.
- 02
Use the master control for all zones or select only the individual perimeter zone you need.
- 03
Scroll within the Zone Lighting app to review Autolamp Override.
- 04
Choose whether Include Reverse Lamps should add the reverse lamps when the rear zone is active.
- 05
Switch the zones off when finished or allow the automatic battery-protection timer to end the session.
Important limits
- Remove any exterior-light covers before using the feature.
- If a backup alarm is installed, Ford advises switching Include Reverse Lamps off to avoid sounding it with the rear zone.
- When the truck is off, Zone Lighting times out to protect the battery.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Zone Lighting is not under Apps, check Settings because its location depends on vehicle software.
- ✓If only two zones appear, the truck may not have mirror puddle lamps.
- ✓The turn signals flash six times when one minute remains on the off-vehicle timer.
