FAQs 

What is the purpose of the instrument cluster in the 2018 Lincoln MKC?

The driver’s primary information center is the instrument cluster, which shows important information like engine temperature, speed, fuel level, and various vehicle alerts.

How can I adjust the brightness of the instrument cluster display?

Find the brightness control button, which is typically located on the dashboard or close to the instrument cluster. Adapt the configuration to suit your needs.

What does it mean if warning lights illuminate on the instrument cluster?

Warning lights suggest possible problems with the car. To understand specific warning symbols and take the necessary action, consult the owner’s manual.

Can I customize the information displayed on the instrument cluster?

Certain features may be customizable, depending on the model. For details on customizing the instrument cluster, consult your owner’s manual.

How do I reset the trip odometer on the instrument cluster?

On the instrument cluster, there is usually a button with the labels “Trip” or “Reset.” In order to reset the trip odometer, press and hold it.

What does the low fuel warning on the instrument cluster mean?

It is evident from the low fuel warning that you have an extremely low fuel level. Locate the closest gas station in order to prevent running out of fuel.

How do I switch between different information screens on the instrument cluster?

Use the steering wheel or instrument cluster control buttons to cycle through the different information screens.

Is it possible to change the units (e.g., from miles to kilometers) on the instrument cluster?

Check the settings menu on the instrument cluster. There ought to be a way for you to change the measurement units.

What should I do if the instrument cluster is not working properly?

To solve problems like flickering or total failure, refer to the troubleshooting guide in your owner’s manual. If issues continue, get help from a professional.

How do I interpret the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) readings on the instrument cluster?

For information on recommended tire pressure and TPMS symbols, consult the owner’s manual. Inspect and adjust tire pressure accordingly.

Can I update the software of the instrument cluster?

Authorized service centers usually handle software updates. To find out about any updates that are available, speak with your dealer.

What does the engine temperature gauge on the instrument cluster indicate?

The coolant temperature is reflected in the engine temperature gauge. To avoid overheating, stop and switch off the engine if it goes into the red zone.

How do I set the clock displayed on the instrument cluster?

Access the settings menu on the instrument cluster or infotainment system to locate the clock adjustment options.

Is there a night mode for the instrument cluster to reduce glare during nighttime driving?

The majority of contemporary cars come equipped with an automated night mode that modifies the instrument cluster’s brightness in response to outside light levels.

Can I receive notifications on the instrument cluster for maintenance reminders?

Yes, depending on mileage or time intervals, the instrument cluster frequently shows maintenance reminders. To guarantee prompt vehicle maintenance, adhere to the instructions.
