2020 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR steering

•
NORMAL – For everyday driving. This
mode is a perfect balance of excitement,
comfort and convenience.
• EXCITE – For aggressive on-road driving.
This mode increases throttle response,
provides a sportier steering feel, along
with quicker shifting. The suspension
stiffens, with an emphasis on handling
and control. The transmission also holds
gears longer, helping your vehicle
accelerate faster when shifting gears.
• CONSERVE
– Enables efficient and
responsible driving. It helps deliver
maximum fuel efficiency and increases
driving range.
• NORMAL 4A
– For general on-road
driving. Use this mode on normal firm
surfaces such as dry or wet pavement
and hard packed dirt or gravel roads.
Delivers power to all four wheels, as
required. •
SLIPPERY
– For less than ideal road
conditions, such as snow or ice covered
roads. Slippery mode inspires confidence
without taking away from driving
pleasure. Slippery mode lowers throttle
response and optimizes shifting for
slippery surfaces.
• DEEP CONDITIONS
– Used for crossing
terrain that has deformable deep, rutted
surfaces such as mud, deep snow or
deep sand. Do not use on dry, hard
surfaced roads.
• SLOW CLIMB
– Used when you need
extra power, such as when climbing
steep grades, going through deep sand
or pulling a boat out of a launch ramp.
Do not use on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Slow Climb mode puts you in 4x4 Low
drive line settings.
Note: Slow Climb is only available on
vehicles with 4x4 and a two-speed transfer
case. Note:
The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. Certain drive modes are not
available based on gear shifter position. If
a mode is unavailable due to a system fault
or change in gear shifter position, the mode
defaults to
NORMAL.

TRAILER REVERSING AIDS (IF
EQUIPPED)
Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ WARNING:
Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. WARNING:
This system is an extra
driving aid. It does not replace your
attention and judgment, or the need to
apply the brakes. This system does NOT
automatically brake your vehicle. If you fail
to press the brake pedal when necessary,
you may collide with another vehicle.
Note: The system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices.
Note: You must always be aware of the
vehicle and trailer combination and the
surrounding environment.
Note: The system does not detect or prevent
the vehicle or trailer from making contact
with obstacles in the surrounding
environment.
Note: Keep in mind that the front end of the
vehicle swings out when changing the
direction of the trailer. Note:
The system relies on user
measurements to determine sticker
placement and system limits. It is critical to
take the key measurements correctly.
Incorrect measurements can result in the
improper function of the system up to and
including contact between the vehicle and
trailer.
Note: The system limits vehicle speed when
backing up. The system is not a replacement
for proper use of the throttle and brake
pedals.
Principle of Operation
This feature helps you to steer your vehicle
when reversing with a trailer attached. Turn
and hold the control knob in the direction
you want the trailer to go and the system
takes over the steering. This allows you to
focus on checking the mirrors and operating
the brake and accelerator.

You have to set up each trailer you use with
your vehicle. You must accurately follow the
setup process to make sure you correctly
place the sticker.
Contact your dealership if you need
assistance in setting up your trailer.
Setting Up Pro Trailer Backup Assist
Note:
Once you enter a trailer's information,
the system stores it for easy recall. You can
add a maximum of 10 trailers to the system.
Step 1: Position your Vehicle and Trailer
Hitch the conventional trailer to your vehicle.
See Essential Towing Checks (page 326).
Park your vehicle and trailer on a level
surface. For best results, make sure that your trailer
rides level with the ground when you hitch
your vehicle. More information on selecting
your tow bar is available in the Towing
section.
See Towing (page 311).
Make sure your vehicle and the trailer are in
line with each other. You can do this by
driving straight forward.
Step 2: Follow the Information Display
Prompts
Press the button to turn the system on.
1. Select the option to add a trailer in the
information display using the steering
wheel control.
See General Information
(page 133).

Distance D
The horizontal distance from the bumper to
the center of the trailer axle (single axle
trailers), or the center of the axles (trailers
with dual axles or more).
Note:
If the distance ends in anything less
than one half of an inch, round down to the
current whole inch. If a distance ends in one
half or greater of an inch, round up to the
next whole inch. For example, 12.3 in
(31.12 cm) would be rounded down to 12 in
(30.48 cm). 12.5 in (31.75 cm) would be
rounded up to 13 in (33 cm).
Step 5: Enter Measurements Using the
Information Display
Using the recorded measurements, enter the
required data into the system. Follow the on
screen prompts to enter each of the
measurements taken in step 4. When all four
distances have been entered, a confirmation
display will appear. Check the values are
correct before proceeding, or go back to
change any if required. Step 6: Confirming the Sticker Location
Check the rear view camera display to see
if the sticker is identified by the system and
marked with a red circle.
Confirm that the red circle is correctly located
over the sticker image in the display. The on
screen prompt will ask you to confirm this.
Note:
If the system cannot locate the sticker
try cleaning the camera lens, and also make
sure the sticker is within the green zone as
indicated in step 3.
Calibrating the System
To complete setup, drive your vehicle
straight forward between 4 mph (6 km/h) and
24 mph (39 km/h)
following the on screen
prompt.
Note: Check your measurements to make
sure you measured from the correct points.
Note: If you move the steering wheel during
this procedure, the calibration pauses.
Note: We recommend that you do not do
this at night. A message will be displayed during
calibration and after calibration is complete.
Using Pro Trailer Backup Assist
To use the system press the button and
select the required trailer from the display.

When the sticker is located, the display
prompts you to shift into reverse (R). The
system turns on. Note:
The system does not function if your
hands are on the steering wheel. Remove
your hands to resume operation.
Follow the screen prompts to steer your
vehicle and trailer.
Note: You may have to drive forward to
straighten the trailer.
Take your hands off the steering wheel and
turn the Pro Trailer Backup Assist control
knob instead. The knob acts as the steering
control for the trailer.
Note: The more you turn the knob, the
sharper the trailer turns. Turn and hold counterclockwise to make the
trailer go left. Turn and hold clockwise to make the trailer
go right.
Note:
Practice maneuvering with the system
in a safe open area first.
Note: Try backing up in a straight line and
then turning the knob slowly in the direction
you want to go.
Note: Quickly turning and releasing the knob
results in a jerky movement of the vehicle. 317

Calibration
The system monitors various vehicle
parameters to ensure your vehicle is being
driven straight and the trailer straight behind
your vehicle. Any steering input or trailer
movement will pause the calibration.
For best results:
•
Use a long, straight, smooth and level
road when attempting to calibrate.
• Drive straight forward.
• Drive between 4 mph (6 km/h) and
24 mph (39 km/h).
System Operation
The following warnings or difficulties may
occur during feature operation. Tips to
resolve them are listed below. The system is not available:
•
The system relies on many sub-systems
in your vehicle to operate correctly. If
those sub-systems are not operating
correctly the system may not be
available.
• Low battery voltage is a condition which
will prevent the system from operating.
Please make sure the battery is correctly
charged if the system is not available.
• You may need to drive your vehicle
straight forward above 25 mph (40 km/h)
before the system is available again.
• If the message still displays take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service.
Sticker lost:
• If the system cannot initially find the
sticker, it may be necessary for you to
change the lighting conditions by moving
the vehicle and trailer or waiting until
conditions change.
• Check for the following if you receive the
lost sticker message while using the
system. •
Stop your vehicle as soon as the
message displays.
• Make sure the sticker is visible and the
pattern is discernable in the rear view
camera image.
• Clean the sticker and camera to make
sure they are unobstructed.
• Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth
and water.
• Clean the sticker with isopropyl rubbing
alcohol sprayed directly onto the sticker,
and then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
• Remove any items that may be blocking
the view of the sticker. Depending on
your trailer configuration and any
equipment mounted to your trailer it is
possible for the sticker to be blocked
from view of the camera as it rotates on
the hitch ball but not be blocked during
setup. Remove the obstruction if
possible. It will be necessary to remove
the sticker from it’ s current location if the
obstruction cannot be cleared and place
a new sticker that will be visible to the
camera in all positions of the trailer
behind your vehicle.

System consistently shows Stop Now Max
trailer angle reached warning:
•
The system uses your measurements to
determine sticker position and establish
system limits. Accurate sticker placement
and trailer measurements will provide the
best system performance. If you are
consistently receiving this warning it is
likely there is an issue with sticker
placement or the entered measurements.
Make sure that the sticker is placed
correctly based on steps 3 and the
measurements were made correctly
according to Step 4. The troubleshooting
guide for trailer measurements can also
be reviewed for help in making
measurements.
• To change sticker location or change
trailer measurements, go into the Towing
menu, select trailer options, select
change trailer setting and then select the
change sticker option. •
If the sticker location needs to be
changed, the previous sticker must be
removed and a new sticker needs to be
placed on the trailer. ONLY ONE
STICKER SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE
TRAILER FOR PROPER SYSTEM
FUNCTION.
• Disregard the prompt to remove this
sticker and continue to the next step if
you only plan to update the
measurements for the current sticker
location.
System consistently shows Stop now take
control of steering warning:
• The system displays this warning when
it can no longer steer the vehicle and you
must take over steering. There are four
reasons why this warning displays and
additional information regarding the
reason for the warning is available on the
center display.
• The steering wheel is touched while the
system is controlling it. Avoid touching
the wheel during system operation. •
The maximum speed for feature
operation is exceeded. System
performance is optimized at slower
speeds. Backup slowly.
• The sticker was lost by the camera
system. Once your vehicle is stopped
additional warnings will indicate the
sticker was lost. Refer to sticker lost
trouble shooting tips.
• An internal condition for system
operation was not met which requires
your vehicle return to manual control of
the steering.
Note: The system is designed to be used
with the same trailer connection every time
the trailer is chosen from the selection menu.
Using a different drawbar or a different pin
hole (on drawbars with more than one) when
connecting the drawbar to your vehicle
affects the trailer measurements. Take the
measurements again and update if required.

Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing up to
get the feel of your vehicle-trailer
combination before starting on a trip. When
turning, make wider turns so the trailer
wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•
Do not drive faster than 70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi
(800 km).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after
you have traveled
50 mi (80 km).
• When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
transmission in park (P) to aid engine and
transmission cooling and to help A/C
performance.
• Turn off the speed control when carrying
heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The speed
control may turn off automatically when
you are towing on long, steep grades. •
Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not apply the
brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.
• If your transmission has a Grade Assist
or Tow/Haul feature, use this feature
when towing. This provides engine
braking and helps eliminate excessive
transmission shifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
• If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with
RSC, this system may turn on during
typical cornering maneuvers with a
heavily loaded trailer. This is normal.
Turning the corner at a slower speed
while towing may reduce this tendency.
• If your vehicle has Adaptive suspension,
you can select NORMAL or SPORT drive
control modes for better experience
when towing a trailer.
See Information
Displays (page 133). •
If you are towing a trailer frequently in
hot weather, hilly conditions, at the gross
combined weight rating (or any
combination of these factors), consider
refilling your rear axle with synthetic gear
lubricant (if the axle is not already filled
with it).
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 435).
• Allow more distance for stopping with a
trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
brake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if
you must park on a grade:
1. Turn the steering wheel to point your vehicle tires away from traffic flow.
2. Set your vehicle parking brake.
3. Place the transmission in park (P).
4. Place wheel chocks in the front and back
of the trailer wheels.
Note: Chocks are not included with your
vehicle.
