How to Use the Headlight Cleaning Function on Lincoln MKX?
2 Answers
The method to use the headlight cleaning function on Lincoln MKX is as follows: Locate the windshield washer control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Hold the lever and pull it towards you (the direction facing the driver in the cabin), then keep holding it. This will activate the washer pump on the bumper to extend and spray washer fluid onto the headlights. Simultaneously, the windshield wipers will start working, and the washer nozzles on the hood will spray fluid onto the windshield. Note that when using this function, you must ensure the washer fluid reservoir has sufficient fluid. If the fluid level is below the required capacity, the system will not spray. The Lincoln MKX is a luxury vehicle produced by the renowned American automaker Ford, with body dimensions of 4742mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1709mm in height.
I've been driving a Lincoln MKX for several years, and the headlight cleaning feature is one of my frequently used tools. Normally after starting the car, I turn on the headlights (must be in the lighting-on state), then gently push the wiper control lever on the left side of the steering wheel forward, and the nozzles will automatically spray water to clean the lamp covers. I often use it after long-distance driving or rainy days, especially after driving on muddy mountain roads when the headlights get covered in dust—activating it a few times restores clear visibility. Remember to avoid using it during high-temperature periods, such as under strong sunlight when the liquid can easily evaporate and be wasted; also don't use it immediately after starting the car—wait for the engine to warm up for a few dozen seconds. Regularly check if the nozzles are clogged and wipe them with a damp cloth. This feature is not only practical but also extends the lifespan of the headlights and maintains driving safety.
