You’d be hard-pressed to find a safer vehicle than a Lincoln, but all automobiles undergo wear and tear, and even Lincolns need routine safety maintenance. The experienced technicians at our Lincoln dealership can help to ensure your car remains surefooted, responsive, and safe on the road.
5 Tips for Keeping Your Lincoln Safe on the Road
Inspect Your Brakes
Without firm stopping power, any car might rear-end the vehicle ahead or have an even worse accident on the highway. Brakes should always be kept in optimal condition, which requires regular inspections by a qualified technician, routine replacements of brake pads, and a quick response to any signs of brake trouble like grinding brakes or leaking brake fluid.
Rotate and Align Your Tires
As the only car parts in contact with the tarmac, tires are equally important for road safety. To keep your tires and car firmly holding to the road, you’ll need to have them rotated every six months.
It’s also important to realign crooked tires and have them balanced periodically, too. Above all, make sure the PSI of pressure inside each tire is maintained at the figure stipulated in your owner’s manual. This requires monthly air pressure checks.
Maintain Your Suspension
Your Lincoln rides so smoothly and stably because of a world-class suspension, without which you’d sway and bounce as you drove, which is hazardous. With a yearly suspension inspection, you can ensure no struts, shocks, springs, sway bars, or ball joints are wearing out and about to fail.
Maintain Your Car’s Essential Fluids
Several of the fluids in your car also keep you safe from harm. Insufficient windshield fluid might prevent you from seeing the road in a sudden downpour. Problems due to low or contaminated fluid in the transmission or power steering system can seriously impact handling. Check each of these fluids once a month, and keep them topped up and fresh.
Test and Replace Your Battery
Electrical failure would pose a safety threat if it robbed you of bright headlights, power steering, or engine output while on the road. Without a strong battery, you might also end up stranded somewhere, exposed to the elements. It’s therefore important to test your battery once or twice a year and replace it as soon as it starts to fail.
