Keep the front of your vehicle free of dirt,
metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors and aftermarket lights may also
block the sensor.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning with no
actual block. This happens, for example,
when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. 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.
You can change from adaptive cruise control
to normal cruise control through the
information display. 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.
Using Lane Centering WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when entering or leaving a highway, on
roads with intersections or roundabouts or
non-vehicular traffic or roads that are
winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes. WARNING:
Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow. WARNING: Large contrasts in outside
lighting can limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in a
false or missed warning. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.
The system is designed to help keep your
vehicle in the center of the lane by applying
continuous assistance steering torque input
toward the lane center on highways.
Note: The assistance steering torque is
limited and may not be sufficient for all
driving situations.

Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, First-Printing Cruise ControlE71340

Note:
In exceptional conditions, the system
may deviate from the center line.
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
• You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• The system detects both lane markings.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel at
all times.
Note: The system may not function if the
front camera or sensor is blocked or not
available.
Switching Lane Centering On and Off Press and release the button.
The indicator appears in the information
display. When the system is on, the color of
the indicator changes to indicate the system
status.
Gray indicates the system is on but inactive.
Green indicates the system is active and
applying assistance steering torque input to
keep your vehicle in the center of the lane. The system activates when it detects valid
lane markings. If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until valid
markings are available.
The system may not correctly operate in any
of the following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is not centered in the lane.
• The lane is too narrow or wide.
• The system does not detect at least one
lane marking or when lanes merge or
split.
• You switch the direction indicator on.
• Limited steering torque input is applied.
• Areas under construction or new
infrastructure.
• When modifications to the steering
system have been made.
• When using a spare tire.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows your
vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control. The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note:
The system may detect a light grip or
touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
You can override the system at any time by
steering your vehicle.
Automatic Cancellation
When an external condition cancels the
system, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the information display. If your vehicle starts to slow down,
you must contribute to the steering
control and press and release the
button to regain full system performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The lane becomes too wide or too
narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings are crossed.

DRIVER ALERT
Principle of Operation
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
Take regular rest breaks
if you feel tired. Do not wait for the system
to warn you. WARNING: Certain driving styles may
result in the system warning you even if
you are not feeling tired. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the road
lane markings. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by us.
Note: The system assists you when driving
on fast main roads and freeways. Note:
The system calculates an alertness
level at vehicle speeds above approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
.
The system monitors your driving behavior.
The system is designed to alert you if it
calculates that you are becoming drowsy or
if your driving deteriorates.

Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, First-Printing Driving Aids

Note:
When you select Aid or Alert and Aid
mode and the system detects no steering
activity for a short period, the system alerts
you to put your hands on the steering wheel.
The system may detect a light grip or touch
on the steering wheel as hands off driving.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked, or if the windshield is
damaged or dirty. When you switch the system on and it
detects an unintentional drift out of your lane
is likely to occur, the system notifies or
assists you to stay in your lane through the
steering system and information display. In
Alert mode, the system provides a warning
by vibrating the steering wheel. In Aid mode,
the system provides steering assistance by
gently counter steering your vehicle back
into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the
combined Alert and Aid mode, the system
first provides steering assistance by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the
lane, followed by a warning that vibrates the
steering wheel if the vehicle is still out of the
lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The on or off setting is stored until it
is manually changed, unless a MyKey is
detected. If the system detects a MyKey, it
defaults to on and the mode sets to Alert. Press the button on the direction indicator
stalk to switch the system on or off.
System Settings
The system has optional setting menus
available. The system stores the last known
selection for each of these settings. You do
not need to readjust your settings each time
you switch the system on.
Mode: This setting allows you to select which
of the system features you can enable.

Evasive Steer Assist (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a
stationary vehicle or a vehicle traveling in
the same direction as your vehicle, the
system is designed to help you steer around
the vehicle.
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
• The Pre-Collision Assist system detects
a vehicle ahead and starts to apply Active
Braking.
• You turn the steering wheel in an attempt
to steer around the vehicle.
After you turn the steering wheel, the system
applies additional steering torque to help
you steer around the vehicle. After you pass
the vehicle, the system applies steering
torque in the opposite direction to encourage
you to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the vehicle.
Note: The system does not automatically
steer around a vehicle. If you do not turn the
steering wheel, the system does not activate. Note:
The system does not activate if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is too small
and a crash cannot be avoided.
Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted by
using the information display controls.
See
General Information (page 116).
• You can change Alert and Distance Alert
sensitivity to one of three possible
settings.
• You can switch Distance Indication and
Alert on or off.
• If required, you can switch Active Braking
on or off.
• If required, you can switch Evasive Steer
Assist on or off.
