Lincoln Navigator (2019 year). Manual — part 16

Troubleshooting

Possible Cause

Symptom

You may have switched the traction control off.

The system does 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.

The sensors may be blocked. For example, snow, ice or dirt buildup. Blocked sensors
can affect how the system functions.

The system does not offer a parking space.

There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park.

There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
space.

The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away.

The vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking or greater than
19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking.

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.

Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the current transmission position. For
example, rolling forward when in reverse (R).

The system does not correctly position your vehicle
in a parking space.

An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from correctly aligning
your vehicle.

Parking Aids

Possible Cause

Symptom

Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be correctly parked.

Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.

The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained. For example, not inflated correctly,
improper size, or of different sizes.

A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example, a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving
truck bed.

The parking space length or position of parked objects changes after your vehicle passes
the space.

The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes. For example, driving from a
heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash.

REAR VIEW CAMERA

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 may be
incorrect. All guidelines 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.

The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.

During operation, lines appear in the display
which represent your vehicle’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle.

E142435

The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door, above the license plate.

Using the Rear View Camera System

The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in reverse (R).

Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.

249

Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, First-Printing

Parking Aids

The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•

Active guidelines (if equipped): Show the
intended path of your vehicle when
reversing.

•

Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another object
behind you.

•

Centerline: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object. For example, a
trailer.

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door or liftgate is
open, no rear view camera features display.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the
guidelines may disappear when you connect
the trailer tow connector.

The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
•

Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.

•

Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
The rear view camera has a washer that
activates when you use the rear window
washer. See Rear Window Wiper and
Washers (page 95).

•

The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to become
misaligned.

Camera System Settings

The rear view camera system settings can
be accessed through the display screen.

vehicle might deviate from the original
intended path.

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guidelines do not
display when the steering wheel position is
straight.

Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle.

Obstacle Distance Indicator

(If Equipped)

E190459

The system will provide an image of your
vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones will
highlight green, yellow and red when the
parking aid sensors detect an object in the
coverage area.

Manual Zoom

WARNING: When manual zoom is

on, the full area behind your vehicle may
not show. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature.

(R) and into any gear other than park (P), the
camera image remains in the display until:
•

Your vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

•

You shift your vehicle into park (P).

360 DEGREE CAMERA

(IF EQUIPPED)

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.

Note: The 360 degree camera system turns
off when your vehicle is in motion at low

Cruise Control

Following a Vehicle

WARNING: When following a vehicle,

your vehicle does not always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a crash without
driver intervention. Always apply the
brakes when necessary. Failing to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or
death.

WARNING: Adaptive cruise control

only warns of vehicles detected by the
radar sensor. In some cases there may be
no warning or a delayed warning. You
should always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain a preset gap distance. A vehicle
graphic illuminates in the instrument cluster.

Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.

Note: When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small temporary
acceleration to help you pass.

Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
the vehicle ahead until:
•

The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.

•

The vehicle in front of you moves out of
the lane you are in.

•

You set a new gap distance.

The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from
the vehicle in front. The system only applies
limited braking. You can override the system
by applying the brakes.

If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system continues
to brake. A red warning bar displays on the
windshield and you must take immediate
action.

Following a Vehicle to a Complete Stop

If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete
stop and remains stationary for less than
three seconds, your vehicle accelerates from
a stationary position to follow the vehicle
ahead.

E265299

If your vehicle follows a vehicle to
a complete stop and remains
stationary for more than three

seconds, press to follow the vehicle ahead.
Or press the accelerator pedal.

Setting the Gap Distance

You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
by pressing the gap control.

E263697

Press and release to decrease the
gap distance.

E263696

Press and release to increase the
gap distance.

displays continuously in the information
display when the system is active.

Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.

Automatic Cancellation

Automatic cancellation can also occur when:

•

The tires lose traction.

•

You apply the parking brake.

Park Brake Application

Automatic parking brake application and
cancellation occurs if:
•

You unbuckle the seatbelt and open the
door after you stop the vehicle.

•

You hold the vehicle at a stop
continuously for more than three minutes.

Hilly Condition Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep grades,
for example in mountainous areas. The
system needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent it
from overheating.

Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it applies brakes for an
extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again after the brakes cool.

Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off

E265297

Press and release the button when
the system is in standby mode, or
switch the ignition off.

Note: You erase the set speed and gap
setting when you switch the system off.

Detection Issues

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.

260

Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, First-Printing

Cruise Control

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 graphic does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you.

E71621

Detection issues can occur:

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

A

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

B

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. You should stay alert and take
action when necessary.

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:

cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function when something blocks the sensor.

Note: You cannot see the sensor. It is behind
a fascia panel.

Keep the front of your vehicle free of dirt,
metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors and aftermarket lights may also
block the sensor.

Possible Causes and Actions for This Message Displaying:

Action

Cause

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object
causing the obstruction.

The surface of the radar is dirty or obstructed.

Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect
that it is free from obstruction.

The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the
display.

Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.
