4 Safety Features of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus

Healthy brakes are essential for safe driving, as they ensure you can control your speed and stop whenever needed. As time passes, brake components will become worn or damaged, and your brakes will become less responsive. As your Lincoln dealership, we want you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a brake service. Soft Brake Pedal When you push down on the brake pedal, you'll feel resistance, which increases as you apply more pressure. This resistance you feel is generated by the pressurized brake fluid. The fluid is highly pressurized as it has to force the brake pads against the rotors, so the brake pads can generate the friction that stops the wheels. If you feel less resistance than normal from the brake pedal, it's called a soft brake pedal. This could mean a blockage in one or more of the brake hoses, or there's a brake fluid leak. We advise contacting us ASAP so our technicians can investigate. A soft brake pedal means the brakes will be slower to respond, and this could result in an accident. Pulling to One Side The braking system is designed so that all four calipers are pushed against the rotors simultaneously. This ensures smooth and quick braking. If you find your Lincoln turns to one side when you brake, one of the calipers isn't engaging as it should, and its wheel continues to move until brought to a stop by the other wheels. Pulling to one side is potentially dangerous, as delayed brake responsiveness could be the difference between a near miss and an avoidable collision. It can be caused by a damaged or rusted caliper that doesn't clamp against its rotor, or there could be an air bubble or other blockage in the hose leading to the caliper. We'll investigate and fix the problem. Vibrations When You Brake If you feel vibrations through the pedal when you hit the brakes, you could have one or more uneven rotors. In time, the rotor's locations mean rust can develop on them due to driving through mud or water. The heat caused by braking can also cause some of the pad's adhesive to liquify and spread across a rotor. When it dries, it leaves behind irregular patches on the rotor surface. If a caliper grabs an irregular surface, it produces a jolt you'll feel through the pedal. We fix this problem by resurfacing the affected rotors, which involves removing the top layer of metal to make the rotor surface smooth again. If you have a brake problem, our Lincoln-trained technicians can repair it so you can drive safely. Contact our service department today at Bayway Lincoln in Houston, TX.

It delivers a level of luxury that other vehicles can only aspire to, and it has a generous amount of standard features that add a ton of value to it. 5 Features of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus 1. A Quiet Cabin The Lincoln Nautilus analyzes all the sounds coming from inside and outside the cabin. It then distinguishes what kind of noise is undesirable and what isn't. It emits frequencies to cancel out the unwanted sounds. The acoustic-laminated front door and windshield glass helps keep outside noise at bay, too. more 2. An Amazing Hands-Free Driving Experience Hands-free driving technology is standard in the Lincoln Nautilus.
