Lincoln Drive Control consists of the following systems:
•
Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) dynamically adjusts the
shock absorbers stiffness in real time to match the road surface and
driver inputs. Vehicle motion (roll, pitch, bounce), suspension
position, vehicle loading, vehicle speed, road conditions, and steering
are continuously monitored to adjust the suspension damping for
optimal vehicle control.
•
Electronically Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) adjusts steering effort
and feel based on vehicle speed and your inputs.
•
Active Noise Control (ANC) utilizes vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience.
•
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control (ESC and TC)
maintain vehicle control in adverse conditions or high performance
driving.
•
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) which enhances the powertrain
response to your inputs.
These systems have a range of modes which you can choose from in
order to customize your ideal driving experience:
•
Comfort – Provides a more relaxed driving experience, maximizing
comfort. Steering effort is decreased and suspension movement is
more fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when enhanced traveling comfort is
desired.
•
Normal – Delivers a balanced combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. This mode provides an engaging drive
experience and a direct connection to the road without sacrificing any
of the composure demanded from a luxury vehicle.
•
Sport – Provides a sportier driving experience. Suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes on a more powerful tone. Sport mode
is intended to be used during more spirited driving.
