Lincoln Nautilus (2022 year). Manual in english — page 16

Note: When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a turn signal lamp, 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 down
your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front of you. The system
only applies limited braking. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.

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

If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
instrument cluster display and an indicator
flashes when the system continues to brake.
Take immediate action.

CANCELING THE SET SPEED

Press the button or tap the brake
pedal.

The set speed does not erase.

RESUMING THE SET SPEED

Press the button.

Your vehicle speed returns to the previously
set speed and gap setting. The set speed
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.

Resuming the Set Speed from 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.

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

seconds, press and release the button or
press the accelerator pedal to follow the
vehicle ahead.

OVERRIDING THE SET SPEED

WARNING: If you override the system

by pressing the accelerator pedal, it does
not automatically apply the brakes to
maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead.

When you press the accelerator pedal, you
override the set speed and gap distance.

Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally
exceed the set speed limit.

When you override the system, the green
indicator illuminates and the vehicle icon
does not appear in the instrument cluster
display.

approaching slower vehicles. Always be
aware of which mode you have selected
and apply the brakes when necessary.

You can change from adaptive cruise control
to normal cruise control through the
information display.

E71340

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.

LANE CENTERING

HOW DOES LANE CENTERING WORK

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help keep
your vehicle in the middle of the lane by
applying continuous assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center on
highways.

Note: The adaptive cruise control gap setting
operates normally.

If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred lane
position. The system provides continuous
assistance steering torque input toward the
preferred position.

Note: The system can only set preferred lane
positions within the lane.

Note: If the system cancels, the preferred
position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center.

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 146).

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.

268

Drive Mode Control

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance or
steering wheel vibration when it detects an
unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel, or
aids the driver by providing a small steering
input to move the vehicle back into the travel
lane.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert (If Equipped)

•

Aid

•

Alert + Aid

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
