warning LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2020 Owners Manual

Action
Cause
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Water, snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere with the
radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles and no
roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual block. A false\
blocked condition either self
clears, or clears after you restart your vehicle.
Switching to Normal Cruise Control WARNING: Normal cruise control will
not brake when your vehicle is
approaching slower vehicles. Always be
aware of which mode you have selected
and apply the brakes when necessary. The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you select
normal cruise control. The gap setting does
not display, and the system does not respond
to lead vehicles. Automatic braking remains
active to maintain set speed. You can change from adaptive cruise control
to normal cruise control through the
information display.
See General
Information (page 133).

• Trailer width measurement:
The width of the trailer is measured at the
front of the trailer. It is not measured at the
widest point of the trailer. The maximum
width at the front of the trailer that the system
can support is
8.5 ft (2.6 m).
286
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, Second-Printing Driving AidsE225008

Note:
You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is 8.5 ft
(2.6 m) or less.
• Trailer length measurement:
The trailer length is the distance between
the trailer hitch ball and the rear of the trailer.
The maximum length that the system can
support is
33 ft (10.1 m).
• Enter length of trailer:
The default setting is
18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling
up or down using the menu buttons
increases or decreases the measurement by
3 ft (1 m)
. Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual measured
length is
25 ft (7.6 m), toggle the length in
the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m). When you enter
the length of the trailer, the system setup is
saved.
Note: If the trailer is actually a bike rack or
cargo rack with electrical lighting, enter a
length of 3 ft (1 m)
. Cross Traffic Alert remains
on for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or
less. Note:
Proper measurement and
measurement entry is required for the
system to function as designed.
System Operation
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
information display. This menu allows you to
set up a new trailer or choose from a
previously set up trailer. A warning message
appears and the system turns off if you do
not choose or add a new trailer.
Note: The warning message may not appear
until your vehicle speed reaches
22 mph
(35 km/h).
If you select a trailer in the information
display before connecting a trailer to your
vehicle, the system loads the configuration
for the selected trailer. When a trailer is
connected, a warning message appears.
Note: A second warning message may
appear stating that the Cross Traffic Alert
system has turned off. The Blind Spot
Information System with Trailer Tow
continues to function normally in this
situation. Note:
The system remembers the last
selected trailer set up when you start your
vehicle.
Trailer Considerations
The system is designed to work with a trailer
with a front width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m) or less, and
a total length from the trailer hitch ball to the
rear of the trailer of
33 ft (10.1 m) or less.
Some trailers may cause a slight change in
system performance:
• Large box trailers may cause false alerts
to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert may also occur while making
a 90-degree turn.
• Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
at the front and have a total
length greater than 20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is passing
at high speed.
287
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, Second-Printing Driving Aids

•
Box trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with a
width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the
front may cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.
System Errors
If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message displays.
See
Information Messages (page 138).
Switching the System On and Off
You can switch the system off using the
information display. See General Information
(page 133). When you switch the system off,
a warning lamp illuminates and a message
displays. When you switch the system on or
off, the alert indicators flash twice.
Note: The system remembers the last setting
when you start your vehicle. Note:
The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a
trailer tow module and tow bar approved by
us, the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between
4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.
