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.

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is packed full of features drivers love, and several of them enhance your safety. These driver assistance features are high-tech and highly functional, and they'll help keep you safe in a wide range of situations you can get into while driving. 4 Safety Features of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus 1. Adaptive Cruise Control Adaptive cruise control allows you to relax a little while driving. Your Nautilus takes over some of the driving duty by self-adjusting your position in your lane as well as your speed. You can use a preset with cruise control, or you can allow your Nautilus to base its speed changes on traffic. You still need to keep your hands on the wheel and keep your eyes on the road while using this driver assistance feature. 2. Lane-Keeping Technology Staying in the center of your lane is one of the keys to staying safe while driving both in the city and on the highway. Your Lincoln Nautilus's lane-keeping system can help with that when you're on the highway. It's designed to make sure you remain in the middle of your lane. The system helps you prevent accidentally drifting into the next lane or to the side of the road. If needed, your Nautilus can use the steering system to make sure you get back into the center of your lane if you start drifting. 3. Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection Distractions and the unpredictability of other people's movements can lead to emergency situations. Sometimes a car will unexpectedly pull out in front of you, or a pedestrian will dart out into the street with no warning. When this happens, your Lincoln Nautilus will detect it and send you an alert to help you prevent a collision. Sometimes you won't have long enough to respond to this alert, so your Nautilus will automatically hit the brakes to try and stop you from crashing into a pedestrian or vehicle. If the collision is unavoidable, then the automatic braking function can help lessen the severity of any accidents you get into. 4. Blind Spot Information System Your Lincoln Nautilus is always on the lookout and will send you an alert when a vehicle begins to enter one of your blind spots. This allows you to act accordingly and ensures you don't miss it when there's a car in one of those areas. The alert that shows up when there's a vehicle in your blind spot appears in your sideview mirror, making it very easy to see. If you need a car with all of the safety features above, then come and take the Lincoln Nautilus out for a test drive. Visit Bayway Lincoln in Houston, TX to see the car in person today. Image Via
