2010 FORD KUGA Battery

Overriding the anti-trap function
CAUTION
While you close the window for the
third time, the anti-trap function is
disabled. Make sure there are no
obstacles in the way of the closing
window. To override this protection function when
there is a resistance, e.g. in the winter,
proceed as follows:
1. Close the window twice until it
reaches the resistance and let it
reverse.
2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is
disabled and you cannot close the
window automatically. The window will
override the resistance and you can
close it fully.
3. If the window does not close after the third attempt, have it checked by an
expert.
Resetting the memory of the
electric windows WARNING
The anti-trap function is deactivated
until you have reset the memory.
After the battery has been disconnected
from the vehicle you must reset the
memory separately for each window:
1. Lift and hold the switch until the
window is fully closed.
2. Release the switch.
3. Lift the switch again for one more second.
4. Push and hold the switch until the window is fully open.
5. Release the switch. 6. Lift and hold the switch until the
window is fully closed.
7. Open the window and try to close it automatically.
8. Reset and repeat procedure if the window does not close automatically.

AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.
Note:The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
