The car’s available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian
Detection earned a superior rating. The system, which is designed
to reduce the severity of and, in some cases, even eliminate
frontal collisions – including those involving pedestrians – uses
radar and camera technology to provide a collision warning to the
driver. If the driver does not respond in time, it can
automatically apply the vehicle brakes.
The Lincoln Continental, equipped with Pre-Collision Assist with
Pedestrian Detection, avoided collisions in track tests at 12 mph
and 25 mph. The system’s forward collision warning component also
meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criteria.
The car’s available adaptive LED headlamps earned a good rating,
providing ample lighting on a straightaway and on most curves. The
headlamps use high-beam assist, a feature that automatically
switches between high beams and low beams, depending on the
presence of other vehicles.
Vehicles qualify for a Top Safety Pick+ if they
have good ratings in five crashworthiness tests – small overlap
front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head
restraints – plus an available front crash prevention system that
earns a superior or advanced rating, and good or acceptable
headlights. The Lincoln Continental delivered on all
aspects.
