I have a loaded 2022 F150 with 360 cameras,, etc. I've looked at the manuals and cant find this answer. Sorry if its obvious. When you select the camera button on the dashboard to bring up the different camera screen options, there is a "P" icon that you can toggle on or off. I assume its parking related, but I have no idea what it does. Can someone explain its use? Pic attached.

You're right. Just checked again, it toggles the parking proximity sensors on and off along with the beeps etc.. Also toggles on and off the rear braking assist. Don't know why it I couldn't figure that out earlier. Thanks.

because the owners manual is VAGUE in some regards
i never remembered reading this button turns off the display either . or the X on the nav screen makes it the whole screen

It's strange how willy-nilly Ford seems to be with physical buttons -vs- touch screen icons.

On my truck, that Parking Aid icon is a physical button above the screen.

When I ordered my truck I paid the 50 bucks for the snow plow option because it came with a button above the screen. When it arrived... no button. The Snow Plow button had been replaced by a Hill Decent button and the Snow Plow activation became an icon on the touch screen.
(Hill Decent works great by the way)

But I've seen guys post pictures here of their dash from similar trucks with similar options built around the same time as mine with a Snow Plow button.

Not a "complaint", I'm very happy with my truck. ...just strange.
