Your new Lincoln is not only stylish, luxurious, and head-turning. It includes advanced safety features to protect you and your passengers wherever you drive. As your Lincoln dealership in Bethesda, MD, we want to tell you more about how some of these systems protect you.
Rearview Camera
Reversing doesn’t have to mean continually watching your rearview mirror or craning your neck to look behind you for obstacles. When you shift into reverse, this camera activates and displays a real-time view of the area directly behind you. It also displays helpful guidelines to make reversing into a parking bay a breeze. In addition, if any obstacle is detected, you’ll receive audio warnings to draw your attention so you can take action.
Auto High Beam Headlamps
The high beam’s direct angle provides enough illumination to easily see vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles ahead of you so you can drive safely. Unfortunately, these beams can also blind drivers in front of you or headed in your direction. You could reach down to flick the lights from high to low beams, but this takes your eyes off the road.
This system uses sensors to detect headlights or tail lights, then automatically switches your headlamps to low beams. Once the sensors detect the light source has moved away, the lights switch back to full beams.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
This system uses advanced camera and radar technology to scan the area ahead for vehicles or pedestrians. If something is detected, the system determines the distance to the object using radar and then compares the distance to your present speed. If an accident is likely, you receive visual and audio alerts to warn you of the danger so you can prevent a collision.
If you’re unable to react fast enough, the system automatically applies emergency braking to stop your Lincoln almost instantly. This swift reaction can prevent an accident or reduce damage from a collision.
Blind Spot Information System and Cross-Traffic Alert
Blind spots are the areas on the side of your vehicle that can’t easily be seen from the driver’s seat. This system uses sonar sensors to monitor the blind spots and instantly alert you if they detect a vehicle. You receive visual and audio alerts, giving you enough time to take action and avoid a collision.
The cross-traffic alert monitors the area to the left and right behind your Lincoln for vehicles that may pass behind you. This makes reversing easier and safer than ever, as you’ll receive an instant alert if anything approaches. The system displays the approaching vehicle’s direction so you can brake and prevent an accident.
