The 2017 Lincoln MKZ shines by earning the highest safety award issued by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Top Safety Pick+ award, and 3Birds Template is very proud! Your safety is very important to us, and we're glad that this honor means the MKZ is not only an incredibly stylish pick, it's an incredibly safe one as well.
After all, it takes a lot to earn the Top Safety Pick+ award. The 2017 Lincoln MKZ had to achieve outstanding ratings in its small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, and roof strength and head restraint tests. Another requirement for the award required incorporating an available front crash prevention system that was superior enough to earn an advanced rating.
With modifications to the front-end structure and an abundance of available safety technology, earning the Top Safety Pick+ award was easy for the MKZ.
An available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses camera and radar technology to monitor the vehicle’s proximity to other vehicles and pedestrians. If a potential collision is detected, the system will alert the driver with visible and audible warnings and, if needed, pre-charge the brakes and increase brake sensitivity to help provide full responsiveness. With the 2017 MKZ, you can drive with confidence knowing that this is a vehicle designed to prevent collisions, keep drivers alert, and keep all passengers safe.
Another available technology in the 2017 Lincoln MKZ is a lane-keeping system that uses a forward-facing camera to detect lane markings. It can apply steering wheel torque and alert the driver with a steering wheel vibration should sensors detect drifting. There is also the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, which uses radar sensors to alert drivers with sideview mirror lights if another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind spots. It will alert the driver when backing up too, if it detects a vehicle approaching from either side.
The 2017 Lincoln MKZ indulges your desire for comfort and refinement while addressing your need for peace of mind with its award-winning safety. For more information, contact us online or visit 3Birds Template at 505 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC 27516.
