Lincoln Nautilus (2019 year). Instruction - part 13

Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, therefore
apply the brakes steadily. Do not “pump” the
brakes.

Driving on Snow and Ice

WARNING: If you are driving in

slippery conditions that require tire chains
or cables, then it is critical that you drive
cautiously. Keep speeds down, allow for
longer stopping distances and avoid
aggressive steering to reduce the chances
of a loss of vehicle control which can lead
to serious injury or death. If the rear end
of your vehicle slides while cornering, steer
in the direction of the slide until you regain
control of your vehicle.

Note: Excessive tire slippage can cause
driveline damage.

AWD vehicles have advantages over 2WD
vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like
any other vehicle.

Should you start to slide when driving on
snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel
in the direction of the slide until you regain
control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and
quick changes of direction on snow and ice.
Apply the accelerator slowly and steadily
when starting from a full stop.

Avoid sudden braking as well. Although an
AWD vehicle may accelerate better than a
two-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice, it
does not stop any faster, because as in other
vehicles, braking occurs at all four wheels.
Do not become overconfident as to road
conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance
between you and other vehicles for stopping.
Drive slower than usual and consider using
one of the lower gears. In emergency
stopping situations, apply the brake steadily.
Since your vehicle comes with a four wheel
(ABS), do not “pump” the brakes.  See Hints
on Driving With Anti-Lock Brakes (page 201).

Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on
your vehicle have been designed and tested
to provide predictable performance whether
loaded or empty and durable load carrying
capability. For this reason, we strongly
recommend that you do not make
modifications, such as, adding or removing
parts, for example, lowering kits or stabilizer
bars, or by using replacement parts not
equivalent to the original factory equipment.

Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the
center of gravity can make it more likely the
vehicle may rollover as a result of a loss of
control. We recommend that you use caution
with any vehicle equipped with a high load
or device, such as ladder or luggage racks.

Failure to maintain your vehicle properly may
void the warranty, increase your repair cost,
reduce vehicle performance and operational
capabilities and adversely affect driver and
passenger safety. Frequent inspection of
vehicle chassis components is recommended
if the vehicle is subjected to off-highway
usage.

 (If Equipped)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note:  Occasional brake noise is normal.  If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out and an
authorized dealer should check them.  If the
vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder
in the steering wheel while braking, an
authorized dealer should check your vehicle.

Note:  Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions.  Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise.   See Cleaning the Wheels
(page 344).

Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency.  Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.

Brake Over Accelerator

In the event the accelerator pedal becomes
stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm
pressure to the brake pedal to slow the
vehicle and reduce engine power.  If you
experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.  Switch
the engine off, move the transmission to park
(P) and apply the parking brake. Inspect the
accelerator pedal and the area around it for
any items or debris that may be obstructing
its movement. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer.

Emergency Brake Assist

Emergency brake assist detects when you
brake heavily by measuring the rate at which
you press the brake pedal.  It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal.  Emergency brake assist
can reduce stopping distances in critical
situations.

Anti-lock Brake System

This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.

This lamp momentarily illuminates
when you switch the ignition on. If
the light does not illuminate during

start up, remains on or flashes, the anti-lock
braking system may be disabled. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
the anti-lock brake system is disabled,
normal braking is still effective.

See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page
107).

Note: Indicators vary depending on region.

E270480

This lamp also illuminates
momentarily when you switch the
ignition on to confirm the lamp is
functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on,
or begins to flash at any time, have

the system checked by an authorized dealer.
If the brake warning lamp illuminates with
the parking brake released, have the system
checked immediately.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-
LOCK BRAKES

The anti-lock braking system does not
eliminate the risks when:
•

You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.

•

Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

•

You take corners too fast.

•

The road surface is poor.

Note:  If the system activates, the brake
pedal may pulse and may travel further. 
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.  You
may also hear a noise from the system.  This
is normal.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

WARNING: Always fully apply the

parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: If you drive extended

distances with the parking brake applied,
you could cause damage to the brake
system.

WARNING: The electric parking

brake does not operate if the vehicle
battery is running out of charge.

Your vehicle has an electric parking brake.
You operate it with a switch instead of a
lever. The switch is on the center console or

the system has malfunctioned.  Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note: You can apply the electric parking
brake when the ignition is off.

Note: The electric parking brake could
automatically apply when you shift into park
(P).  See Transmission (page 188).

Applying the Electric Parking Brake in an
Emergency

Note: Do not apply the electric parking brake
when your vehicle is moving, except in an
emergency. If you repeatedly use the electric

HILL START ASSIST

WARNING: The system does not

replace the parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake.

WARNING: You must remain in your

vehicle when the system turns on. At all
times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system will turn off

if a malfunction is apparent or if you rev
the engine excessively. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

The system makes it easier to pull away
when your vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.

When the system is active, your vehicle
remains stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal.  This allows time to move your foot
from the brake to the accelerator pedal.  The
system releases the brakes automatically
once the engine has developed sufficient
torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling
down the slope.  This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, for example from a
car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing
uphill into a parking space.

The system activates on any slope that
causes your vehicle to roll.

Note: There is no warning light to indicate
the system is either on or off.

Using Hill Start Assist

1. Press the brake pedal to bring your

vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the
brake pedal pressed and shift into first
gear when facing uphill or reverse (R)
when facing downhill.

2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is

on a slope, the system activates
automatically.

3. When you remove your foot from the

brake pedal, your vehicle remains on the
slope without rolling away for about two
to three seconds. This hold time
automatically extends if you are in the
process of driving off.

4. Drive off in the normal manner. The

system releases the brakes automatically.

Note: When you remove your foot from the
brake pedal and press the pedal again when
the system is active, you will experience
significantly reduced brake pedal travel. This
is normal.

Switching the System On and Off

Vehicles with Instruction Transmission

You can switch this feature on or off in the

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system helps avoid drive
wheel spin and loss of traction.

If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels and,
when needed, reduces engine power at the
same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

WARNING: The stability and traction

control light illuminates steadily if the
system detects a failure. Make sure you
did not instructionly disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the stability
control and traction control light is still

illuminating steadily, have the system
serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

The system automatically turns on each time
you switch the ignition on.

If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.

Note: When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active.

Switching the System Off

When you switch the system off or on, a
message appears in the information display
showing system status.

You can switch the system off with the
traction control switch.

Using a Switch

Use the traction control switch on the
instrument panel to switch the system off or
on.

Traction Control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Vehicle modifications

involving braking system, aftermarket roof
racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel and tire size may
change the handling characteristics of your
vehicle and may adversely affect the
performance of the electronic stability
control system. In addition, installing any
stereo loudspeakers may interfere with
and adversely affect the electronic stability
control system. Install any aftermarket
stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from
the front center console, the tunnel, and
the front seats in order to minimize the risk
of interfering with the electronic stability
control sensors. Reducing the
effectiveness of the electronic stability
control system could lead to an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death.

WARNING: Remember that even

advanced technology cannot defy the laws
of physics. It’s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle
increasing the risk of personal injury or
property damage. Activation of the
electronic stability control system is an
indication that at least some of the tires
have exceeded their ability to grip the
road; this could reduce the operator’s
ability to control the vehicle potentially
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system activates,
SLOW DOWN.

The system automatically turns on each time
you switch the ignition on.

If a fault occurs in either the stability control
or the traction control system, you may
experience the following conditions:

•

The stability and traction control light
illuminates steadily.

•

The stability control and traction control
systems do not enhance your vehicle's
ability to maintain traction of the wheels.

If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control system
you may experience the following conditions:

•

The stability and traction control light
flashes.

•

Your vehicle slows down.

•

Reduced engine power.

•

A vibration in the brake pedal.

•

The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.

•

If the driving condition is severe and your
foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal
may move as the system applies higher
brake force.

The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:

207

Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201806, Third-Printing-

Stability Control

Electronic Stability Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying
brakes to one or more of the wheels
individually and, if necessary, reducing
engine power.

Roll Stability Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability
to prevent rollovers by detecting your
vehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which it
changes by applying the brakes to one or
more wheels individually.

Traction Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability
to maintain traction of the wheels by
detecting and controlling wheel spin. See
Using Traction Control (page 206).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the sensing system.

WARNING: The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in a crash.

WARNING: Traffic control systems,

inclement weather, air brakes, external
motors and fans may affect the correct
operation of the sensing system.This may
cause reduced performance or false alerts.

WARNING: The system may not

detect small or moving objects, particularly
those close to the ground.

Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the sensing
system cannot be switched off when a
MyKey™ is present. See Principle of
Operation (page 61).

Note: Keep the sensors on the bumper or
fascia free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are
covered, the system’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts. For example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that may block the normal detection zone
of the system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.

Note: When you connect a trailer to your
vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the
trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable
the rear parking aid when you connect a
trailer to prevent the alert.

The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system turns on automatically
whenever you switch the ignition on.

You can switch the system off through the

If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual distance
indication only when your vehicle is moving
below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and there
is a front or rear parking aid obstacle
detected, and the side obstacle is within
24 in (60 cm) from the side of your vehicle.
When you stop your vehicle the visual
distance indication stops after four seconds.

If the side sensing system is not available,
the side distance indicator blocks do not
appear.

The side sensing system is not available
under the following condition:
•

If you switch the traction control system
off.

The side sensing system may not be
available until you have driven approximately
the length of your vehicle in order for the
system to reinitialize if:
•

You switch the ignition on, off and back
on.

•

Your vehicle remains stationary for over
two minutes.

•

The anti-lock brake system is activated.

•

The traction control system is activated.

•

When the steering wheel angle
information is not available, the side
sensing system is not available. The
vehicle must be driven at least 492 ft
(150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) to
recover the steering wheel angle
information.
