Learning the Ropes.

[pepper]

In buying used I have found a lack of information with the vehicle. I had no second key, no code for the door locks and no manuals. Now into my third week of ownership I have through local dealer acquired a second key and key fob, the code for the door locks and spending much time online a fair amount of reading material oh the "how to" of the many features of this fine machine.

I traded a very good vehicle in a 08 Santa Fe Ltd. for this 2011 MKX and have found it one of the nicest vehicles I have driven. When I say that one must note that being retired and having two friends with large dealerships I can be kept very busy driving vehicles for them. I enjoy that and have driven everything from Hummers to Mercedes, Acuras, Audis and everything in between.

I have no interest in trading my MKX as it suits me very well even though I'm sure I have only mastered a percentage of the features it has to offer.

I believe my MKX has the Elite package as it has the 20 inch wheels, nav., panoramic sunroof, blind spot with cross traffic and the most incredible sound system.

Living in a snow belt area I have ordered 18 wheels with Cooper winter tires to assist the equipped AWD.

I have no real point to this posting other than providing some background on how low my knowledge base is and notice that I will as time passes have many questions for those of you who have been kicking the tires of an MKX for some time.

Anyway if you read all I have submitted in this post I thank you and will be seeing you around the forum site.

Nice testament for Lincoln MKX owners and perspective Lincoln MKX owners.

 

Here's a trick to get a copy of you Lincoln MKX's window sticker.  Click on the link below.  When the page opens, enter your VIN number and click enter and up will pop your window sticker

Thanks I was able to get the window sticker and quite impressed with the many options added to the vehicle.

 

It has the Sight/Sound, Cargo Accessory, 20 inch wheels, Trailer package and the surprise to me of the wood package.

Listed up here in Canada at $54,230.

 

I purchased this year 2014 with 78,000 km. for $24240.

 

It's a joy to drive and I find myself much like the chap in a Honda commercial I saw some time ago who was always looking for an excuse to go do an errand.

Noticed on the sticker reference to ambient lighting and have seen reference to color choices.

How does one know if their vehicle is capable and if so how does one do that??

Hello again, on the touch screen, next to the home icon is a 2 gear icon.

Touch there. Then touch, "Vehicle", then touch, " Ambient Lighting".

Bon Chance!
