2023 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Owners Manual

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
The system alerts you of vehiclesapproaching from the sides behind yourvehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles thatapproach at a speed between 4–37 mph(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when thesensors are partially, mostly or fullyobstructed.
The sensor on the left-hand side is onlypartially obstructed and zone coverage onthe right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when parkingat narrow angles. The sensor on the left-handside is mostly obstructed and zone coverageon that side is severely reduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase thecoverage area and effectiveness.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the crosstraffic alert system as a replacement forusing the interior and exterior mirrors orlooking over your shoulder beforereversing out of a parking space. The crosstraffic alert system is not a replacement forcareful driving.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly during severe weatherconditions, for example snow, ice, heavyrain and spray. Always drive with due careand attention. Failure to take care mayresult in a crash.

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns ofapproaching hazards in the roadway. Thesystem provides multiple levels of assistanceto help avoid a collision if your vehicle israpidly approaching another stationaryvehicle, a vehicle traveling in the samedirection as yours, or a pedestrian or cyclistwithin your driving path.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potentialhazards by providing three levels ofassistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approachingpotential hazards the system provides thefollowing levels of functionality:
1.Alert.
2.Brake Support.
3.Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashingvisual warning appears and anaudible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system is designed tohelp reduce the impact speed by preparingthe brakes for rapid braking. The systemdoes not automatically apply the brakes. Ifyou press the brake pedal, the system couldapply additional braking up to maximumbraking force, even if you lightly press thebrake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Automaticemergency braking may activate if thesystem determines that a collision isimminent.
Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,then you can reduce the alert sensitivity.Setting the low sensitivity would result infewer and later warnings of a potentialforward collision. The manufacturerrecommends using the high sensitivitysetting where possible.
Note:Automatic emergency brakingperformance is not affected by the sensitivitysetting.
Each system has various levels of detectioncapabilities. See Pre-Collision AssistLimitations (page 322).
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.

WARNING: The system cannot helpprevent all crashes. Do not rely on thissystem to replace driver judgment and theneed to maintain a safe distance andspeed.
WARNING: System performancecould be reduced in situations where thevehicle camera has limited detectioncapability. These situations include but arenot limited to direct or low sunlight,vehicles at night without tail lights,unconventional vehicle types, pedestriansor cyclists with complex backgrounds,
running pedestrians or fast moving cyclists,partly obscured pedestrians or cyclists,pedestrians or cyclists that the systemcannot distinguish from a group. Failure totake care may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, personal injury or death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the detectionability of its camera and sensors. Anyobstructions or damage to these areas canlimit detection or prevent the system fromfunctioning. See Locating the Pre-CollisionAssist Sensors (page 324).
The system is active at 3 mph (5 km/h) andabove.

LOCATING THE PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST SENSORS
Camera.1.
Radar sensor (if equipped).2.
If a message regarding a blocked sensor orcamera appears in the information display,something is obstructing the radar signals orcamera images. The radar sensor is behindthe fascia cover in the center of the lowergrille. With a blocked sensor or camera, thesystem may not function, or performancemay reduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –Information Messages (page 328).
Note:Proper system operation requires aclear view of the road by the camera. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera's field of view repaired.
Note:If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs and your vehiclehas a radar sensor, the radar sensing zonecould change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detections. Have your vehicleserviced to have the radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
Note:If your vehicle detects excessive heatat the camera or a potential misalignmentcondition, a message could display in theinformation display indicating temporarysensor unavailability. When operationalconditions are correct, the messagedeactivates. For example, when the ambienttemperature around the sensor decreasesor the sensor recalibrates successfully.
