WHAT IS THE REAR VIEW CAMERA
The rear view camera provides a video
image of the area behind your vehicle when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
REAR VIEW CAMERA
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The rear view camera
system is a reverse aid supplement device
that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage. WARNING:
Objects that are close to
either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera
system. WARNING:
Reverse your vehicle
slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Use caution when the
rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image could be
incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING:
Use caution when turning
camera features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage and you might not see
some objects. In some vehicles, the guide
lines may disappear when you connect the
trailer tow connector. LOCATING THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA
The rear view camera is located on the cargo
door. It provides a video image of the area
behind your vehicle.
REAR VIEW CAMERA GUIDE LINES

WHAT IS THE 360 DEGREE
CAMERA
The 360 degree camera system consists of
front, side and rear cameras which provide
visibility around your vehicle.
HOW DOES THE 360 DEGREE

vehicle. 360 DEGREE CAMERA
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: The 360 degree camera
system still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with looking out of the
windows, and checking the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum coverage. WARNING: Objects that are close to
either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera
system. WARNING:
Use caution when turning
camera features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving. WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode changes the
functionality of the steering system to adjust
the steering effort and feel.
Active noise control utilizes your vehicle
electronics to enhance the acoustic
experience.
The stability and traction control assist your
vehicle control in adverse conditions or
high-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrain
response, transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules, and
four-wheel drive settings are optimized and
tuned to each mode.
Note:
The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, the mode defaults to normal.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
You can configure which of the drive control
modes are active when your vehicle is in
drive (D) or in sport (S). The configuration
remains active until modified from the main
menu on the instrument cluster display. See
Instrument Cluster Display Main Menu
(page 144).
Note: Not all settings may be available.
Note: Drive mode changes may not be
available when the ignition is off. DRIVE MODES
Comfort
Provides a more relaxed driving experience,
maximizing comfort. Your steering effort
decreases and the suspension movement is
more fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when you
desire enhanced traveling comfort.
Normal
Delivers a balanced combination of a
comfortable, controlled ride and confident
handling. This mode provides an engaging
driving experience and a direct connection
to the road without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from a luxury vehicle.
Sport
Provides a sportier driving experience. The
suspension stiffens, with an emphasis on
handling and control. The engine responds
more directly to your inputs and takes on a
more powerful tone. This mode is ideal for
use during more spirited driving.

TOWING A TRAILER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label. WARNING:
Towing trailers
beyond the maximum recommended
gross trailer weight exceeds the limit
of your vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage,
structural damage, loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not exceed the
lowest rating capacity for your vehicle
or trailer hitch. Overloading your
vehicle or trailer hitch can impair your
vehicle stability and handling. Failure
to follow this instruction could result
in the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING: Do not cut, drill, weld
or modify the trailer hitch. Modifying
the trailer hitch could reduce the hitch
rating. WARNING:
The anti-lock brake
system does not control the trailer
brakes.
TRAILER BRAKE PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not connect a trailer's
hydraulic brake system directly to your
vehicle's brake system. Your vehicle may
not have enough braking power and your
chances of having a collision greatly
increase. WARNING:
Do not tow a trailer fitted
with electric trailer brakes unless your
vehicle is fitted with a compatible
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controller. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. For
additional information and assistance, we
recommend that you contact an authorized
dealer.
Electric brakes and manual, automatic or
surge-type trailer brakes are safe if you install
them properly and adjust them to the
manufacturer's specifications. The trailer
brakes must meet local and federal
regulations.
The rating for the tow vehicle's braking
system operation is at the gross vehicle
weight rating, not the gross combined weight
rating.
Certain states require functioning trailer
brakes for trailers over a specified weight.
Be sure to check state regulations for this
specified weight.
299
2021 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Towing a Trailer

Ford Motor Company recommends separate
functioning brake systems for trailers
weighing more than 1,500 lb (680 kg) when
loaded.
TOWING A TRAILER LIMITATIONS
The vehicle's load capacity designation
is by weight, not by volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading a vehicle or trailer.
Note: Your vehicle could have reduced
performance when operating at high
altitudes and when heavily loaded or
towing a trailer. When driving at
elevation, to match driving performance
as perceived at sea level, reduce gross
vehicle weight and gross combination
weight by 2% per
1,000 ft (300 m)
elevation. LOADING YOUR TRAILER
To help minimize how trailer movement
affects your vehicle when driving:
•
Load the heaviest items closest to
the trailer floor.
• Load the heaviest items centered
between the left and right side trailer
tires.
• Load the heaviest items above the
trailer axles or just slightly forward
toward the trailer tongue. Do not
allow the final trailer tongue weight
to go above or below 10-15% of the
loaded trailer weight. The trailer
tongue weight should never exceed
10% of the maximum towing capacity.
• Select a ball mount with the correct
rise or drop. When both the loaded
vehicle and trailer are connected, the
trailer frame should be level, or
slightly angled down toward your
vehicle, when viewed from the side. TRAILER TOWING HINTS
Towing a trailer places an extra load on your
vehicle's engine, transmission, axle, brakes,
tires and suspension. Periodically inspect
these components during and after any
towing operation.
When driving with a trailer or payload, a slight
takeoff vibration or shudder may be present
due to the increased payload weight.
Your vehicle may have a temporary or
conventional spare tire. A temporary spare
tire is different in diameter or width,
tread-type, or is from a different manufacturer
than the road tires on your vehicle. Consult
information on the tire label or Safety
Compliance label for limitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•
Obey country specific regulations for
towing a trailer.
• Do not drive faster than
70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi
(800 km).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
