“The Lincoln Approach Detection does more than just turn on lights,”
said Sheryl Connelly, Ford Motor Company global consumer trends and
futuring manager. “It allows Continental to welcome you as if arriving
at a friend’s house for dinner, or checking into a resort. It makes you
feel at home where you have everything you need and you are in a serene
and familiar space.”
Lincoln first unveiled its Approach Detection technology on the
first-ever 2015 MKC. This technology enables the vehicle to sense when
the driver, carrying the key fob, comes within a range of up to 8 feet
welcoming them and indicating it is ready to go.
“The signature dynamic lighting of the Approach Detection feature is
akin to the Continental greeting you with a warm smile,” said Solomon
Song, Lincoln exterior design manager. “This is a subtle touch that
reinforces our commitment to give every Lincoln client what we call
quiet luxury – vehicles and experiences that are elegant, effortlessly
powerful and serene.”
The Lincoln Approach Detection technology responds both inside and out:
-
Illuminated welcome mats project onto the ground beneath both front
doors where the driver and front passenger will step as they approach
so they can avoid stepping into a puddle or debris
-
The door-handles glow in a hue that complements the exterior color of
the vehicle and highlights their location
-
Signature LED accent lights on the headlamps and tail-lamps add a
sense of warmth, while ambient interior lights on the door panels,
instrument panel and cupholders liven up the interior, without glare
-
A light softly pulses on the push-button start, signaling that
Continental is ready to go
In addition, the available auto-folding pedestal side-view mirrors move
into driving position after the driver enters the vehicle and closes the
door.
Select, Reserve and Lincoln Black Label models of Continental have
sequential exterior lighting, dynamically wrapping the car with
illumination. Additionally, when the driver or passengers enter the
vehicle, the ambient lighting activates in a sequence, enveloping the
interior in a soft light to prepare or place any personal items before
driving.
The all-new 2017 Lincoln Continental offers many other features that
deliver quiet luxury, providing an elegant, effortlessly powerful and
serene experience. Technologies that comfort, entertain and effortlessly
assist occupants include the innovative E-Latch door system, Lincoln’s
Perfect Position seats and a host of rear seat amenities.
The Continental arrives at dealerships this fall. For more on Approach
