“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
