WARNING: The system does notdetect vehicles moving in a differentdirection or animals. Apply the brakeswhen necessary. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: The system does notoperate during hard acceleration orsteering. Failure to take care may lead toa crash or personal injury.
WARNING: The system may operatewith reduced function during cold andinclement weather conditions. Snow, ice,rain, spray and fog can adversely affect thesystem. Keep the front camera and radarfree of snow and ice. Failure to follow thisinstruction may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Take additional care ifyour vehicle is heavily loaded or you aretowing a trailer. These conditions couldresult in reduced performance of thissystem. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system cannot helpprevent all crashes. Do not rely on thissystem to replace driver judgment and theneed to maintain a safe distance andspeed.
WARNING: System performancecould be reduced in situations where thevehicle camera has limited detectioncapability. These situations include but arenot limited to direct or low sunlight,vehicles at night without tail lights,unconventional vehicle types, andpedestrians and cyclists with complex,partially obscured backgrounds. Failure totake care may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, personal injury or death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the detectionability of its camera and sensors. Anyobstructions or damage to these areas canlimit detection or prevent the system fromfunctioning. See Locating the Pre-CollisionAssist Sensors (page 288).
The system is active at 3 mph (5 km/h) andabove.

2023 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202207, DOMPre-Collision Assist

Note:The pre-collision assist systemdisables when you select four-wheel drivelow or manually disable AdvanceTrac™.
Note:Brake support and automaticemergency braking are active at speeds upto 75 mph (120 km/h). If the vehicle has aradar sensor included with adaptive cruisecontrol, then brake support and automaticemergency braking are active up to themaximum speed of the vehicle.
Pedestrian Detection Limitations
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds upto 50 mph (80 km/h).
Pedestrian detection functions optimallywhen detected hazards are clearlyidentifiable. System performance may reducein situations where pedestrians are running,partly obscured, have a complexbackground, or cannot be distinguished froma group.
LOCATING THE PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST SENSORS
Camera.1
Radar sensor (if equipped).2
If a message regarding a blocked sensor orcamera appears in the information display,something is obstructing the radar signals orcamera images. The radar sensor is behindthe fascia cover in the center of the lowergrille. With a blocked sensor or camera, thesystem may not function, or performancemay reduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –Information Messages (page 292).
Note:Proper system operation requires aclear view of the road by the camera. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera's field of view repaired.
Note:If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs and your vehiclehas a radar sensor, the radar sensing zonecould change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detections. Have your vehicleserviced to have the radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
Note:If your vehicle detects excessive heatat the camera or a potential misalignmentcondition, a message could display in theinformation display indicating temporarysensor unavailability. When operationalconditions are correct, the messagedeactivates. For example, when the ambienttemperature around the sensor decreasesor the sensor recalibrates successfully.

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
Evasive Steering Assist Video Link
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a roaduser, evasive steering assist helps you steeraround the road user.
After you turn the steering wheel in anattempt to avoid the crash, the systemapplies additional steering torque to helpyou steer around the road user. After youpass the road user, the system appliessteering torque when you turn the steeringwheel to steer back into the lane. The systemdeactivates after you fully pass the road user.
Note:Road users are defined as a stationaryvehicle or a vehicle in your lane that istraveling in the same direction you aretraveling. See Pre-Collision AssistPrecautions (page 287).
EVASIVE STEERING ASSISTLIMITATIONS
Evasive steering assist only activates whenall the following occur:
•Automatic emergency braking andevasive steering assist are on.
•The system detects a road user aheadand starts to apply the brakes.
•You significantly turn the steering wheelto steer around a road user.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notautomatically steer around a road user. Ifyou do not turn the steering wheel, evasivesteering assist does not activate.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notactivate if the distance to the road userahead is too small and the system cannotavoid a crash.

LOAD CARRYING PRECAUTIONS
Keep your loaded vehicle weight withinits design rating capability, with orwithout a trailer. Properly loading yourvehicle provides maximum return ofvehicle design performance. Before youload your vehicle, become familiar withthe following terms for determining yourvehicle’s weight rating, with or withouta trailer, from the vehicle’s Tire andLoading Information label or SafetyCompliance Certification label.
WARNING: The appropriateloading capacity of your vehicle canbe limited either by volume capacity(how much space is available) or by
payload capacity (how much weightthe vehicle should carry). Once youhave reached the maximum payloadof your vehicle, do not add morecargo, even if there is space available.Overloading or improperly loadingyour vehicle can contribute to loss ofvehicle control and vehicle rollover.
WARNING: Exceeding the SafetyCompliance Certification label vehicleweight limits can adversely affect theperformance and handling of yourvehicle, cause vehicle damage andcan result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Do not usereplacement tires with lower loadcarrying capacities than the originaltires because they may lower yourvehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations.Replacement tires with a higher limitthan the original tires do not increasethe GVWR and GAWR limitations.
WARNING: Do not exceed theGVWR or the GAWR specified on thecertification label.
WARNING: Exceeding anyvehicle weight rating can adverselyaffect the performance and handlingof your vehicle, cause vehicle damageand can result in the loss of control ofyour vehicle, serious personal injuryor death.
WARNING: When loading theroof racks, we recommend you evenlydistribute the load, as well as maintaina low center of gravity. Loadedvehicles, with higher centers of gravity,may handle differently than unloadedvehicles. Take extra precautions, suchas slower speeds and increasedstopping distance, when driving aheavily loaded vehicle.
The gross combined weight must neverexceed the Gross Combined WeightRating.
