• 4 minutes have elapsed since the button for the
heated windshield was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the "I" or "0" position.
• The "Defrost" function is deactivated or the switch for the heated windscreen is pressed
again while the heated windscreen is still
switched on.
• The charging system warning indicator is switched on.
• The battery voltage falls below the threshold value for low battery voltage for more than 20
seconds (power management strategy). Manual
requests for switching on the heated windshield
by pressing the switch are ignored at this time.
• More than 4 minutes have passed since starting
the engine.
Heated rear window and heated external
mirrors
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch on the heated
exterior mirrors.
The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched on by the GEM under the
following conditions:
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed and the ignition switch is in the "II"
position.
• The "defrost" function of the air conditioning is activated and the ignition switch is in the position
"II".
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more
than 20 seconds (power management strategy).
Manual requests to switch off the heated rear
window by pressing the button are ignored at
this time.
• The engine was started at an outside air temperature below 4°C and an engine
temperature below 65°. Manual requests for
switching off the heated rear window by pressing
the switch are accepted.
NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal
range then the disabling of the heated rear window
is cancelled - the heated rear window is then in a
switched-off state.
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch off the heated
exterior mirrors. The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched off by the GEM under the
following conditions
• 14 minutes have elapsed since the button for
the heated rear window was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the position "0", "I" or "III".
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed or the "defrost" function of the air
conditioning is deactivated while the heated rear
window is switched on.
• The battery voltage has dropped below 10.3 V for more than 20 seconds (power management
strategy). Manual requests for switching on the
heated rear window by pressing the switch are
ignored at this time.
• More than 14 minutes have passed since starting the engine.
Ambient air temperature
The ambient air temperature sensor is connected
via a cable to the GEM. It measures the outside
air temperature to an accuracy of around ±0.5 °C.
The GEM broadcasts the ambient air temperature
on the medium speed CAN bus, where it can be
evaluated by various systems.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level switch is connected via a
cable to the GEM.
The GEM transmits a message on the medium
speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster then
transfers this message to the high speed CAN bus
where it is made available for various other
functions.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL
Engine – System Operation and Component Description
System Operation
The variable camshaft timing occurs
electro-hydraulically and individually for both
camshafts.
The camshaft adjusters work according to the vane
cell principle and have an adjustment range of 52°
crank angle on the intake side and 47° crank angle
on the exhaust side. On starting the engine and
during idling, both camshafts are mechanically
locked in their starting positions. The exhaust
camshaft is in the early position and the intake
camshaft is in the late position. The camshaftadjuster on the exhaust side has a torsion spring
which compensates the camshaft drive torque.
This ensures that the assembly can return to the
starting position under all operating conditions and
when the engine is turned off.
Internal exhaust gas recirculation can be realized
through continuous adjustment of the timings. This
results in better fuel consumption and more
favorable combustion temperatures which produce
less pollutants. This means that pollutant level IV
can be adhered to with a 3-way catalytic converter.
The variable timings also make it possible to
optimize performance with wide open throttle.
