cruise control LINCOLN NAUTILUS 2022 User Guide

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:You cannot see the sensor. It is behinda fascia panel.
Note:Keep the front of your vehicle free ofdirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle frontprotectors, aftermarket lights, additionalpaint or plastic coatings could also degradesensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructsthe camera or the sensor. When somethingblocks the sensor, the system cannot detecta vehicle ahead and does not function. SeeAdaptive Cruise Control – InformationMessages (page 267).
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.It may not detect vehicles at all or detect avehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle image does notilluminate if the system does not detect avehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
BWith vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in front whendriving into and coming out of abend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicleor damage occurs, the radar-sensing zonemay change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clearview of the road by the windshield-mountedcamera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.

2022 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202108, First-PrintingAdaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped) E255686

Note:When you are following a vehicle andyou switch on a turn signal lamp, adaptivecruise control may provide a small,temporary acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap fromthe vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle in front of you accelerates toa speed above the set speed.
•The vehicle in front of you moves out ofthe lane you are in.
•You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow downyour vehicle to maintain a safe gap distancefrom the vehicle in front of you. The systemonly applies limited braking. You canoverride the system by applying the brakes.
Note:The brakes may emit noise whenapplied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximumbraking level is not sufficient, an audiblewarning sounds, a message appears in theinstrument cluster display and an indicatorflashes when the system continues to brake.Take immediate action.

LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERING WORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centeringuses radar and camera sensors to help keepyour vehicle in the middle of the lane byapplying continuous assistance steeringtorque input toward the lane center onhighways.
Note:The adaptive cruise control gap settingoperates normally.
If you drive off-center within the lane, thesystem sets and maintains that preferred laneposition. The system provides continuousassistance steering torque input toward thepreferred position.
Note:The system can only set preferred lanepositions within the lane.
Note:If the system cancels, the preferredposition erases. On the next activation, thesystem provides continuous assistancesteering torque input toward the lane center.
