2011 FORD KUGA AIR CON

Horn
Principles of Operation
The horn system consists of a relay, a steering
wheel switch and either one or two horns. The
horn(s) receives voltage from the switched side of
the relay, and the relay switch is controlled on its
ground side by the steering wheel switch.
The horn relay, is located in the Battery junction
box (BJB) and is supplied with a permanent voltage
from the battery.
The steering wheel horn switch shares the steering
wheel clockspring circuit with the air-bag circuit.
Each of these systems work completely
independent of each other.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2.
Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

Oil Change Indicator Reset
1.
Turn the ignition key to position II without
cranking the engine.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal for approximately 15
seconds until the oil change reminder indicator
starts to flash or the "Service Oil Reset
Complete" message appears in the information
and message center (if equipped).
3. Release the pedals.
4. Check that the oil change reminder indicator
has turned off or that there is no "Service Oil"
message in the information and message center
(if equipped). If the oil change reminder indicator
is still illuminated or the "Service Oil" message
is still displayed, turn the ignition key to position
0 and repeat the procedure from Step 1. If it has
turned off or the "Service Oil" message has
disappeared, proceed to Step 5.
5. Turn the ignition key to position 0 and leave it
there for at least 2 minutes so that the
powertrain control module (PCM) fully powers
down and updates the non-volatile memory
(NVM) in the PCM.
6. Turn the ignition key to position II without
cranking the engine and check that the oil
change reminder indicator is not illuminated or
that there is no "Service Oil" message displayed.
7. Turn the ignition key to position 0. G898940en

System Operation
Parking Aid WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert during reversing procedures.
The system may fail to detect small
children or animals.
CAUTION: The driver is responsible for
detecting obstacles and judging the
distance between these and the vehicle.
The system may fail to detect some
hanging objects, barriers, narrow obstacles
or painted surfaces, which could damage
the vehicle. Always pay attention when
parking.
The parking aid provides an audible warning to the
driver if there are any obstacles in front of or behind
the vehicle during reverse parking maneuvers.
At low speeds, the parking aid module uses the
parking aid sensors to monitor the area around the
vehicle. If an object is detected within a monitored
area, the parking aid module emits a warning tone
using the respective parking aid speaker.
The rear parking aid is switched on with the
ignition. However, it is only enabled when reverse
gear is selected.
The front and rear parking aid is always switched
off when the ignition is switched on. It is switched
on when reverse gear is selected or if the parking
aid switch in the center console is actuated up to
a speed of 16 km/h.
The parking aid is switched off when the vehicle is
travelling forwards at more than 16 km/h or if the
parking aid switch in the center console is actuated
again.
When the parking aid module activates the system,
the parking aid switch LED is illuminated. If the
vehicle is only fitted with the rear parking aid, there
is no switch.
The parking aid sensors emit a series of ultrasonic
impulses and switch to receiver mode to receive the echo reflected by an obstacle within the
detection range. The received echo signals are
amplified and converted from an analog signal to
a digital signal by the sensor. The digital signal is
passed to the parking aid module and compared
with pre-programmed data stored in an EEPROM
within the module. The module calculates the
distance to the obstacle by measuring the time
taken between the emitted and received impulses.
If no objects are detected there are no further
warning tones. If an object is detected, repeated
audible tones are emitted from either parking aid
speaker(s) as appropriate. The time delay between
the tones decreases as the distance between the
object and the vehicle decreases, until at
approximately 250 mm (10 inches), the audible
tone becomes continuous.
If the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle does not decrease, the warning tone
remains constant if the object has been detected
by an internal parking aid sensor. If the obstacle
was detected by an external sensor and the
distance remains unchanged, the warning tone
stops after 3 seconds.
The parking aid module continues to monitor the
distance and will resume the warning tones if a
decrease in distance is detected.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, a signal is
sent to the GEM (generic electronic module) via
the trailer relay. This signal is sent to the parking
aid module via the MS CAN bus. When the parking
aid module detects that a trailer is connected to
the vehicle, the rear parking aid sensors are
disabled to prevent constant warnings due to the
close proximity of the trailer.

Parking Aid Camera
For vehicles with a DVD navigation system with a
touch screen, the parking aid camera is supplied
as standard. For vehicles with a standard
navigation system, the camera can be ordered as
an optional extra. The system essentially consists
of a camera with a wide angle lens, a control unit
and a wiring harness which is not integrated in the
vehicle wiring harness.
On the navigation display screen, the drivers sees
a video image of the area behind the vehicle.
Guides integrated in the camera images by the
parking aid camera module and displayed on the
screen help the driver to find out about the steering
angle, vehicle width, cornering and driving straight
ahead. The system generates these guides using:
• Vehicle parameters (length, width)
• Steering Angle
• Vehicle position during the parking maneuverDescription
