All trims and versions of the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus include the following active safety systems: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping System, and BLIS Blind Spot Detection with Cross-Traffic Alert.

Some advanced safety features --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Automatic High Beam Headlamps are optional on the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus. This feature recognizes oncoming traffic and shuts off high beam headlights until the oncoming traffic has passed. Side mirror turn signals are standard on the Lincoln Nautilus. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you.
