TRAILER REVERSE GUIDANCE –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does it mean if the system remains
on one message for an extended time
during calibration?
The camera could need to be cleaned,
the sticker could be blocked, the
drawbar could be outside the allowed
range of 9–18 in (23–46 cm) or you
could need to move to a different area
to change the lighting and background.
Verify the sticker is in the proper
location.
See Applying the Trailer
Reverse Aid Sticker (page 376). You can
move to a different area or change the
direction you are driving or setup the
system at a different time of day. Some
trailers are not compatible with the
sticker and camera system.
What does it mean if the system pauses
during calibration? There could be steering input or trailer
movement during the straight drive
portion of the calibration process. What does it mean if the system displays
hold steering steady during turn?
Part of the calibration process for the
sticker setup requires a steady turn. If
you are continually moving the steering
wheel during the turn, this delays the
calibration process. To enable the
calibration process, hold the steering
wheel at the same position when
turning.
What does it mean if the system displays
that it is not available? There could be a sub-system that the
system uses that is not correctly
operating or there could be a battery
voltage issue. If the system continues
to display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked. What does it mean if the system displays
that driving is required to initialize steering?
The steering system needs to learn
internal parameters to fully turn on the
feature. Drive your vehicle straight
forward above
25 mph (40 km/h) for
approximately 5 minutes. This could also
occur when your vehicle is new, there
is a battery voltage issue or if the
steering system has been serviced.
What does it mean if the system does not
detect a trailer? The system requires a clear view of the
sticker placed on the trailer. You must
keep the camera lens and sticker clean
for the system to correctly operate. If
the system cannot initially detect the
trailer, it could be necessary for you to
change the lighting conditions by
moving your vehicle and trailer or
waiting until the conditions change. See
Applying the Trailer Reverse Aid
Sticker (page 376). Some trailers are not
compatible with the sticker and camera
system.

Note:
The system is designed to be used
with the same trailer connection every time
you choose the trailer from the touchscreen.
When using a different drawbar or a different
pin hole on drawbars with more than one,
connecting the drawbar to your vehicle
affects the trailer position and you may need
to repeat the trailer setup and calibration
process.

REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE
WARNING: If you continue to drive
your vehicle when the engine is
overheating, the engine could stop without
warning. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle.
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
needle moves to the upper limit position, the
engine is overheating.
See Instrument
Cluster Overview (page 141).
You must only drive your vehicle for a short
distance if the engine overheats. The
distance you can travel depends on ambient
temperature, vehicle load and terrain. The
engine continues to operate with limited
power for a short period of time.
If the engine temperature continues to rise,
the fuel supply to the engine reduces. The
air conditioning switches off and the engine
cooling fan operates continually. 1. Gradually reduce your speed and stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
2. Immediately switch the engine off to prevent severe engine damage.
3. Wait for the engine to cool down.
4. Check the coolant level.
See Cooling
System Capacity and Specification
(page
473).
5. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected at
temperatures below approximately
-13°F
(-25°C). 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.
On ice and snow, you should drive more
slowly than usual. Your vehicle has a four
wheel anti-lock brake system, do not pump
the brake pedal.
See Anti-Lock Braking
System Limitations (page 233).

BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle requires a break-in period. For
the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km), avoid driving at
high speeds, heavy braking, aggressive
shifting or using your vehicle to tow. During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuel
consumption:
•
Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
anticipate the road ahead to avoid heavy
braking.
• Regularly check your tire pressures and
make sure that they are inflated to the
correct pressure.
• Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule and carry out the
recommended checks.
• Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient to
combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible. •
Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the engine
only when you are ready to set off.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.
• Do not add unnecessary accessories to
the exterior of your vehicle, for example
running boards. If you use a roof rack,
remember to fold it down or remove it
when not in use.
• Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.
• Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.
• Switch off all electric systems when not
in use, for example air conditioning. Make
sure that you unplug any accessories
from the auxiliary power points when not
in use. DRIVING IN SPECIAL CONDITIONS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
In an unavoidable emergency where you
must make a sudden sharp maneuver, turn
the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far
as required to avoid the emergency. Apply
smooth pressure to the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal as needed. Avoid abrupt
steering, acceleration and braking changes.
Abrupt changes could increase the risk of
vehicle roll over, loss of vehicle control and
personal injury. If possible, use any available
road surfaces to bring your vehicle under
control.

DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND WATER
Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud. Even all-wheel drive and four-wheel
drive vehicles can lose traction in mud. If
your vehicle slides, steer in the direction of
the slide until you regain control of your
vehicle. After driving through mud, clean off
residue stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.
Excess residue can cause an imbalance that
could damage drive components.
Note:
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, it
could be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than
a minute, as damage to the transmission
and tires could occur or the engine could
overheat. Water
If you must drive though deep water, drive
slowly. The water could limit traction or brake
capability. See Driving Through Shallow
Water (page 387).
When driving though water, determine the
depth and avoid water higher than the center
of the wheel.
Once through water, always try the brakes.
Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle as
quickly as dry brakes. Apply light pressure
to the brake pedal while slowly moving the
vehicle to dry the brakes.
Note: Driving through deep water could
cause damage to the transmission. If the
front or rear axle is submerged in water,
have the axle lubricant and power transfer
unit lubricant checked and changed if
necessary. DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPING
TERRAIN WARNING: Extreme care should be
used when steering the vehicle in reverse
down a slope so as not to cause the
vehicle to swerve out of control.
Although natural obstacles could make it
necessary to travel diagonally up or down a
hill or steep incline, you should try to drive
straight up or straight down.
Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.
A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Whenever driving on a hill, determine
beforehand the route you can use. Do not
drive over the crest of a hill without seeing
what conditions are on the other side. Do
not drive in reverse over a hill without the
aid of an observer.
386
2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Driving Hints

Apply just enough power to the wheels to
climb the hill. Too much power causes the
tires to slip, spin or lose traction, and you
could lose control of your vehicle. When
descending a steep hill, do not descend the
hill in neutral. Avoid sudden hard braking to
keep the front wheels rolling and to maintain
your vehicle's steering.
Note:
Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,
apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump the
brakes.
Note: If your vehicle gets stuck driving on
hilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked out
by shifting between forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in
each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than
a minute, as damage to the transmission
and tires could occur or the engine could
overheat. DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Steadily drive through the terrain. Apply the
accelerator slowly and avoid excessive
wheel slip. Do not drive your vehicle in deep
sand for an extended period of time. This
could overheat the system. A message
appears in the instrument cluster display.
Note:
If your vehicle gets stuck driving on
hilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked out
by shifting between forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in
each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature, as
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than
a minute, as damage to the transmission
and tires could occur or the engine could
overheat DRIVING THROUGH SHALLOW
WATER WARNING: Do not attempt to cross
a deep or flowing body of water. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.
Note: Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water, check
the depth. Never drive through water that is
higher than the bottom of the front rocker
area of your vehicle.
387
2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Driving Hints

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction could
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that the
steering power assist works.
Check the function of the following:
• Horn
• Exterior lights FLOOR MATS WARNING: Use a floor mat designed
to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does
not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Pedals that cannot move
freely can cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal injury. WARNING:
Secure the floor mat to
both retention devices so that it cannot slip
out of position and interfere with the
pedals. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not place additional
floor mats or any other covering on top of
the original floor mats. This could result in
the floor mat interfering with the operation
of the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Always make sure that
objects cannot fall into the driver foot well
while your vehicle is moving. Objects that
are loose can become trapped under the
pedals causing a loss of vehicle control. 388
