2016 MKX – Neutral Tow Enable/Disable Not Available In The Vehicle Settings Menu Of The Instrument Cluster Message Center – Built On Or Before 9/17/2015
Some 2016 MKX vehicles built on or before 9/17/2015 may not have the ability to enable/disable the neutral tow function in the vehicle settings menu of the instrument cluster message center.
To correct the concern use IDS version 98.04, select Module Programming – Programmable Parameters – Personality – Neutral Tow – Enable.
Once the neutral tow function is enabled using the IDS, the selection to enable/disable neutral tow should display in the vehicle settings menu of the instrument cluster message center.
