2010 FORD KUGA cooling

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen. The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4ºC (39ºF).
Note:If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on
controlling the interior climate
Fully close all the windows. Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some
of the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.

Air conditioning
Switching the air conditioning on
and off
If you turn the blower off, the air
conditioning will turn off. When you turn
the blower on again, the air conditioning
will come on automatically.
Cooling with outside air Cooling the interior quickly
Defrosting and demisting the
windscreen
When the temperature is above 4°C
(39°F), the air conditioning will switch on
automatically. Make sure that the blower
is on. The indicator in the switch will
illuminate during defrosting and demisting.
If you move the air distribution control to
a position other than
A, theA/Cwill
remain on.
You can switch the air conditioning and
recirculated air on and off while the air
distribution control is set to position A.
If necessary, switch the heated windows
on. See Heated windows and
mirrors (page 86).
Note:To defrost or demist the rear side
windows, set the second row air vents to the defrosting and demisting position.
See Air vents (page 80).

Note:For information on the automatic
climate control, on vehicles fitted with a combined Navigation and automaticclimate control system, see separatehandbook.
Setting the temperature You can set the temperature between
16ºC and 28ºC in steps of 0.5ºC. In
position
LO(below 16ºC) the system will
switch to permanent cooling, in HI(above
28ºC) to permanent heating, and not
regulate a stable temperature.
Mono mode
In mono mode, the temperature settings
for both the driver’s and passenger’s side
are linked. If you adjust the temperature
using the rotary control on the driver’s
side, the settings will be adjusted to the
same setting on the passenger’s side. In
mono mode, MONO appears in the
display. To switch mono mode off
Select a temperature for the passenger’s
side with the rotary control on the
passenger’s side. Mono mode will switch
off and
MONO disappears from the
display. The temperature for the driver’s
side will remain unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently of each
another. The temperature settings for
each side are shown in the display. You
can set a temperature difference of up to
4ºC.
Note:
If you set a temperature of greater
than 4°C, the temperature on the other side will be adjusted so that the differenceremains 4°C.
Note:If you set one of the sides to HIor
LO, both sides will be set to HI or LO.
To switch mono mode back on To switch mono mode back on, press the
MONO
button.MONO reappears in the
display and the passenger’s side
temperature will be adjusted to the
driver’s side temperature.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to
help maintain its roadworthiness and
resale value. There is a large network of
Ford Authorised Repairers that are there
to help you with their professional
servicing expertise. We believe that their
specially trained technicians are best
qualified to service your vehicle properly
and expertly. They are supported by a
wide range of highly specialised tools
developed specifically for servicing your
vehicle.
In addition to regular servicing, we
recommend that you carry out the
following additional checks.
WARNINGS
Switch the ignition off before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Do not touch the electronic ignition
system parts after you have
switched the ignition on or when the
engine is running. The system operates
at high voltage. Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan. Under
certain conditions, the fan may
continue to run for several minutes after
you have switched the engine off. CAUTION
When carrying out maintenance
checks, make sure that filler caps are
fitted securely.

Maintenance

Topping up
WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the
MAX
mark. Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See
Technical
specifications (page 150).
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the coolant level WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse
the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks.Note:Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may therefore extend beyond
the MAX mark.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately. Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. The system
must then be drained and refilled with a
50/50 mixture of coolant and water. Have
the system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. Increased dilution of the coolant can
cause engine damage from
corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Unscrew the cap
slowly. Any pressure
will escape slowly as you unscrew the
cap. CAUTION
Do not top up further than the
MAX
mark. Top up with a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water using fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See
Technical
specifications (page 150).

Note:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), you must not
use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C, you must use SAE 5W-30(preferred),SAE 5W-40 (except
vehicles with E85 fuel) or SAE 10W-40that meets the specification defined by either
ACEA A1/B1 (preferred) orACEA A3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine
cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased
emission levels.
