LINCOLN NAUTILUS

BRAKE REPAIR

The Lincoln Nautilus features a hybrid braking system combining traditional friction brakes with regenerative braking. The regenerative system captures energy during deceleration and stores it in the battery, while the friction brakes (including ABS and electric brake boost) handle more forceful stops. A "Brake Coach" feature helps drivers optimize energy recovery by displaying braking efficiency scores.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Regenerative Braking:

When the brake pedal is pressed in the Nautilus Hybrid, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting kinetic energy into electricity, which is then stored in the battery.

Friction Brakes:

The traditional braking system utilizes anti-lock brakes (ABS) for enhanced safety and control during braking.

Electric Brake Boost:

This system provides assistance to the driver, especially in situations requiring strong braking.

Brake Coach:

The Nautilus features a "Brake Coach" display that provides feedback on braking efficiency, indicating how much energy is being recovered through regenerative braking.

Rotors:

The Nautilus is equipped with 13.6-inch front and 12.6-inch rear rotors.

Parking Brake:

The Nautilus uses an electric parking brake, activated by a switch on the center console or steering wheel column, offering effortless operation.

Benefits of the Hybrid Braking System:

Improved Fuel Efficiency:

Regenerative braking helps reduce reliance on the gasoline engine and extends the battery's charge, potentially leading to increased fuel economy.

Reduced Brake Wear:

By relying more on regenerative braking, the wear on traditional brake components like pads and rotors can be reduced, potentially extending their lifespan.

Considerations:

Driving Habits:

The effectiveness of regenerative braking can vary depending on driving style. Gradual stops and smoother acceleration maximize energy recovery.

Maintenance:

Regular brake inspections are still recommended to ensure the overall health and performance of the braking system.
