Body Repair Health and Safety and General Precautions
General
Appropriate repair methods and carrying out repair
and paint jobs correctly is particularly important to
the operating safety of vehicles and the safety of
people.
WARNING: There is danger of injury
through:
• High voltage when electrical welding. – Do not perform welding work in a dampenvironment or on a wet substrate. Use
suitable insulation underneath.
• Welding spatter and UV radiation. – Wear protective clothing, gloves and weldingmask or welding goggles.
• Fire, explosion and hot surfaces in the work area.
– Always have a suitable fire extinguisheravailable when using welding or heating
equipment.
– Remove flammable substances from the danger area. Remove the fuel tank and fuel
pipes and hoses.
– Welding and grinding near the battery presents the danger of explosion. Remove
the battery before you start working.
– During paint work there is an increased danger of fire or explosion. Prevent any
sparks being created. Fire, open light and
smoking are forbidden.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective footwear made from anti-static material.
– Only use tools made of wood, brass or copper to clean stands and extraction ducts.
Do not use tools made of steel.
– Only fill or decant paint materials in a specially marked area. • Inhalation and/or absorption through the skin of
harmful substances.
– Welding fumes grinding dusts and solventvapours can be extremely harmful to the
health.
– Sealants, underbody protection and paint residues must not be burnt down with an
unshielded flame, as this will produce harmful
substances.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective clothing.
• Pyrotechnic components. – Disconnect the battery negative clamp andcover the battery terminal.
– Remove any airbag components.
• Noise – Cutting, grinding and alignment work cancause a noise level over 85 dB (A).
– Always wear ear protection.
• High Forces. – The various body areas are subject to veryhigh forces during realignment work. Should
any component suddenly become detached
during this process, there is a very great
danger of injury.
– Pulling chains and pulling shackles must be secured with arrester cables.
As well as these general instructions on the
dangers in body and paint shops, you must
observe:
• All valid local national and international regulations governing Health and Safety at Work
• Safety instructions of material equipment and tool manufacturers
For additional information, refer to: (100-00 General
Information) Solvents, Sealants and Adhesives (Description
and Operation),

Description
Item
Activated charcoal filter
1
Coarse filter
2
Filter masks with wadding, sponge or colloid filters
and also paper masks are all unsuitable for working
with coating materials because they do not stop
solvent vapors.
Eye protection
Cutting grinding welding solvents and paint bear
fundamental risks for your eyes.
Damage ranging from irritation of the cornea to
incurable illnesses is possible.
Solvents and paint – even water based – could not
only be absorbed via your skin but also via your
eyes.
Therefore always wear the appropriate eye
protection for your work.
Protective goggles must be inert toward splashes
of solvent, and must have side protection. Best
protection during spray painting is offered by full
mask respirators or helmet respirators with built-in
visor.
Skin protection
Spray painters must wear suitable protective work
clothing (flame-proof and anti-static). Also, when
working with water based materials, comprehensive
skin protection must be worn, because these
materials are very easily absorbed through the
skin.
Change your protective clothing at proper intervals.
Clothes contaminated with coating materials can
easily catch fire.
Do not choose clothes or underwear with a large
content of easy melting synthetic fiber, because
this material considerably increases the danger
and degree of injuries (melted plastic on the skin!). For areas of the skin which are not covered by
protective clothing suitable skin protection cleaning
and care agents must be used.
Ear protection
Cutting grinding compressors and extractor fans
and ducts are the main sources of noise in body
and paint shops.
Always wear suitable ear protection like ear plugs
or ear defenders.
Protection of the vehicle
Protect affected areas from weld spatter and dust
during all welding and grinding work on the vehicle.
If metallic dust stays on the vehicle for some time,
there is the likelihood of film rust formation.
Grinding produces tiny spots of damage to the paint
surface, which may cause corrosion. Also use
suitable protective measures to protect the interior
when performing repair operations which relate to
the inside of the vehicle.
For this reason, make sure to:
• Use carbon fiber blankets to protect the vehicle
body and the interior.
• Use covering film to protect the vehicle body from grinding dust and metal dust.
• Use covering paper to protect the interior from grinding dust.
In addition, take into account:
• Remove fuel supply components as necessary.
• Protect working areas which are in danger of catching fire with a fireproof blanket.
• Keep heat away from all components of the air conditioning system.
• Remove all components in the space adjoining the repair area.
Electronic components
Increased use of comfort and safety electronics in
modern vehicles requires additional attention to be
paid during body work.
Over voltages produced during welding can cause
electronic systems to be damaged. In particular,
the safety instructions for performing welding work
on vehicles with airbag systems must be adhered
to.
WARNING: After disconnecting the power
supply and before performing further work,
a wait time of up to 15 minutes must be

System Operation
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster contains analog displays
as well as warning and control lamps for displaying
the system status; in addiiton, there is an LCD
indicator field for driver information.
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the PCM via the high speed CAN
(controller area network) Bus (HS-CAN):
• Vehicle speed – The PCM receives the necessary signalsfrom the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel
sensors from the ABS control unit on the
HS-CAN.
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine oil pressure.
• Engine speed
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the GEM via the medium speed CAN
Bus (MS-CAN):
• Ambient temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Handbrake control
• Door latch control
• Liftgate latch control
• High beam control
• Headlamp flasher control
• Direction indicator control
The fuel level signal is sent by the two fuel level
sensors in the fuel pumps in the semitrailer tank,
which is wired to the instrument cluster. The
sensors are connected in series, and the total
resistance is determined from the two individual resistors. The instrument cluster converts the raw
fuel level signal into a damped fuel level value.
The odometer shows the total distance travelled
by the vehicle and is based on the same signal as
is processed for the daily mileage counter. The
value is recorded by the instrument cluster and
stored in a protected EEPROM (Electronically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) area.
This area is a memory protected against
manipulation. If the instrument cluster detects an
error in this memory area, e.g. through damage,
the driver is notified with the "Odometer error"
message.
Message center
The message center is operated using the left-hand
switch on the steering column.
The SET/RESET button is activated to select a
submenu and change the settings. If signal tones
have been activated, a short acoustic signal will
sound each time a button is pressed.
By turning the rotary switch, the different menu
displays can be scrolled through or a setting
selected.
In this display, the navigation system can also
display direction and distance information.
In addition, safety and warning messages can be
displayed in this system, such as "Coolant
overheating", "Engine system error" or "Washer
fluid level too low". In addition to a safety message,
a general warning light (red/yellow) lights up.

The instrument cluster is a programmable module,
which must be configured by selecting the
Programmable Module Installation Routine on the
Ford approved diagnostic tool.
NOTE: When the new instrument cluster has been
configured with the odometer value, its
configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A
new configuration will result in an increase in the
displayed odometer value by a minimum of two
units.
NOTE: The odometer value must be recorded from
the original instrument cluster before removal.
If the odometer value cannot be obtained from
the original instrument cluster (display failure)
the customer should supply the approximate
value.
