HOW DOES STABILITY CONTROL
WORK
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.
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.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control 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
Roll stability control 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.

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
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,
fluorescent lamps, 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. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking speeds.
To help avoid personal injury you must
take care when using the parking aid
system. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts. When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.
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 could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors 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: When using a programmed MyKey
you cannot switch this off.
See MyKey™
(page 84).

2021 Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Parking Aids
Note:
If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)
or less from your vehicle, visual indication
remains on.
SIDE PARKING AID
What is the Side Parking Aid
The front and rear outermost parking aid
sensors map objects that are near to the
sides of your vehicle.
Side Parking Aid Limitations
The sensor coverage is up to
24 in (60 cm)
from the sides of your vehicle.
The side parking aid may not function if:
• You switch your vehicle on, off and back
on within a few seconds.
• Your vehicle remains stationary for over
two minutes.
• The anti-lock brake system activates.
• The traction control system activates. •
Your vehicle is in park (P).
• The steering wheel angle information is
not available. You must drive at least
492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) to
reset the steering wheel angle
information.
Note: If you switch traction control off, the
side sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length of
your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect an
object that is moving toward the side of your
vehicle, for example another vehicle moving
at a low speed, if it does not pass a front or
rear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings.
When your vehicle is moving slowly,
obstacles are detected within
24 in (60 cm)
and are inside the driving path of your
vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after a few seconds. Visual indication
is always present in reverse (R). If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving slowly and
there is a front or rear park aid obstacle
detected, and the side obstacle is within
24 in (60 cm)
from the side of your vehicle.
Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual
indication stops after a few seconds.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any other
forward gear, the side sensing system
provides audible and visual warnings. When
your vehicle is moving slowly, obstacles are
detected within
24 in (60 cm) and are inside
the driving path of your vehicle. Once your
vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the
audible warning and visual indication stops
after a few seconds.

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to a
complete stop. Stop and go can also be set
to follow a vehicle directly in front of you and
adjust the set speed, while you are at a
complete stop.
