Every car at our Lincoln dealership comes equipped with a wealth of safety features designed to give you peace of mind on every drive. While we'd love to list them all here, here are a few of the top ones.
6 Advanced Safety Features You'll Love at Your Lincoln Dealership
1. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Rear-end collisions are all too common. One moment of distraction, and suddenly, you're hard on your brakes, hoping it's enough. But you should not leave safety up to reflex or chance. Lincoln's Pre-Collision Assist is always watching ahead, scanning for vehicles and pedestrians. If it detects trouble, it will first warn you, and if you don't provide corrective action on time, it can hit the brakes for you.
2. Blind Spot Information System
Sure, you've got your mirrors set, but they don't catch everything. Like that car creeping up in the next lane, especially if it's moving fast, it's nighttime, and they're somehow driving without lights. In moments like this, a blind spot information system can be a real lifesaver. It uses sensors to spot what you might miss and gives you a heads-up before you make a move.
3. Rear-View Camera
Lincoln wouldn't make you drive easy and comfortable and then leave you guessing when it's time to reverse. As soon as you shift to reverse, the rearview camera kicks in, showing you what's behind your vehicle right on the dashboard screen. Plus, with virtual guidelines, squeezing into those tight spaces becomes a lot easier.
4. Lane-Keeping System
This system uses a windshield-mounted camera to monitor lane markings. If you start to drift without signaling, it will alert you or apply a bit of extra steering torque to help guide you back.
5. Auto High-Beam Headlamps
High beams are your best friend on those dark back roads and barely lit highways. Using them at the wrong time, like when there's oncoming traffic, however, can create a pretty blinding experience for other drivers. And if they can't see well, it's not just annoying; it's downright dangerous. Thankfully, auto high-beam headlamps have your back, automatically dimming when they detect another car and reactivating once the road is clear.
6. Cross Traffic Alert
How do you safely back out of a parking space when you can't see what's coming from either side? Do you just reverse and take your chances? With Cross Traffic Alert, you don't have to gamble. The system is specifically designed for this scenario. You'll receive alerts if anything is approaching.
These six are just a glimpse of the safety gizmos that Lincoln offers. To see how they can enhance your drive, visit us at Steet-Ponte Lincoln in Yorkville, NY, and experience them firsthand.
