Secondary Controls

The secondary controls in the MKX are easy to find for the most part, with a few misplaced items marring it overall. The controls for the trip computer are large buttons mounted on the center stack, near the climate controls; we expect them closer to the gauges most of the time. The window switches are located on the arm rest, but the seat memory switch panel is gracelessly placed in the middle of the driver’s wood door trim, where it’s hard to reach without contorting yourself. It would only look more tacked on if it were actually attached with tacks. Lincoln also needs to work on the feel of the MKX switchgear. The window switches are OK, but the rest feel junky for a car costing this much.
