Active Park Fault
Active Park Assist – Frequently Asked
Questions
Why does active park assist not operate
correctly? The system is unable to detect a vehicle,
curb or object to park next to or in
between. The system needs boundary
objects to operate correctly.
Why does active park assist not search for
a parking space? You have switched traction control off.

2021 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Active Park Assist (If Equipped)

Why does active park assist not search for
a parking space?
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your
vehicle must be moving forward to be
able to detect a parking space.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? The sensors could be blocked. For
example, snow, ice or large
accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors
can affect how the system functions.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? The sensors in the front or rear bumper
could be damaged.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? There is not enough room in the parking
space for your vehicle to safely park.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? There is not enough space for the
parking maneuver on the opposite side
of the parking space. Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space?
The parking space is more than 5 ft
(1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away from
your vehicle.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? Your vehicle's speed is greater than
22 mph (35 km/h)
for parallel parking or
greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) for
perpendicular parking.
Why does active park assist not offer a
parking space? You recently disconnected or replaced
the battery. After you reconnect the
battery you must drive your vehicle on
a straight road for a short period of time.
Why does active park assist not correctly
position the vehicle into a parking space? An irregular curb along the parking
space prevents the system from
correctly aligning your vehicle. Why does active park assist not correctly
position the vehicle into a parking space?
Vehicles or objects bordering the space
could not be correctly parked.
Why does active park assist not correctly
position the vehicle into a parking space? Your vehicle stopped too far past the
parking space.
Why does active park assist not correctly
position the vehicle into a parking space? The tires are not correctly installed or
maintained. For example, using a spare
tire, not inflated correctly, improper size,
or of different sizes.
Why does active park assist not correctly
position the vehicle into a parking space? A repair or alteration changed the

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to a
complete stop. Stop and go can also be set
to follow a vehicle directly in front of you and
adjust the set speed, while you are at a
complete stop.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use adaptive
cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is slippery.
This could result in loss of vehicle control,
serious injury or death. WARNING:
Pay close attention to
changing road conditions such as entering
or leaving a highway, on roads with
intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes. WARNING:
The system is not a crash
warning or avoidance system. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has aftermarket
electronic trailer brake controls. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use tire sizes
other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of the
system. Failure to do so may result in a loss
of vehicle control, which could result in
serious injury. WARNING:
Do not use the system
with a snow plow blade installed. WARNING:
Do not use the system in
poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
When Following a Vehicle WARNING: When following a vehicle
that is braking, your vehicle does not
always decelerate quickly enough to avoid
a crash without driver intervention. Apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,
for example in mountainous areas.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,
detection issues can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if
required. WARNING:
If the system
malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. WARNING: Large contrasts in outside
lighting can limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. WARNING:
The system may not
detect stationary or slow moving vehicles
below
6 mph (10 km/h). WARNING:
The system does not
detect pedestrians or objects in the road. WARNING:
The system does not
detect oncoming vehicles in the same lane. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in a
false or missed warning. The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:
You cannot see the sensor. It is behind
a fascia panel.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of
dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function. See
Adaptive Cruise Control – Information
Messages (page 263). The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a
vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you.
255
2021 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Adaptive Cruise Control
(If Equipped)E307892

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A B With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
driving into and coming out of a
bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
• The camera is blocked.
• There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
• There are bad weather conditions. SWITCHING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On
Press the button to set the system
in standby mode.
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off Press the button when the system
is in standby mode, or switch the
ignition off.
Note: You erase the set speed when you
switch the system off.
