Output signals
SWITCH the wiper switch to the "intermittent""
position to test the output signals. PRESSING the
heated rear window switch activates the output
signals in the following order:
a.
Left-hand turn signal
b. Right-hand turn signal
c. Main beam
d. Dipped beam
e. Windshield wiper stage I
f. Windshield wiper stage II
g. Heated rear windshield
h. Heater blower motor
i. Headlamp washer system (vehicles with HID headlamps)
j. Electric booster heater (if fitted)
k. Autolamps (position lamps only if fitted)
l. Alarm horn (vehicles with alarm system)
m. Rear window wiper
n. Heated front window relay
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
again, the test of the relevant signal is terminated.
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
once more, the test for the next signal in the list is
started.
End service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• SWITCH OFF the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
3 signals sound and the turn signal lamps illuminate
to indicate that service mode has ended.
Reset service mode
If, after completion of service mode, some functions
do not operate or do not operate properly, check
the following functions:
• Instrument cluster illumination, side marker lamps (side lights) and licence plate lamp in
automatic headlamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp washer assembly
• Electric booster heater • Alarm horn
• Heated windshield
If one or more of the listed functions is not OK, it's
possible that the cause of the fault is due to not
exiting service mode properly. To reactivate the
functions correctly, perform the following steps:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen
wash/wipe system
3. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
4. SWITCH ON the ignition.
5. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (an acoustic signal will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
6. SWITCH the windscreen wash/wipe switch to the "Intermittent wipe" position
7. OPERATE the heated rear window switch 6 times (the main beam headlamps switch on and
off automatically)
8. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system
9. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
10. Switch off the ignition.
11. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (three
acoustic signals will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
After completion of the work, check all the
functions.

Rear Drive Axle and Differential – System Operation andComponent Description
System Operation
General Information
The powertrain with all-wheel drive consists of the
following main components:
• engine
• transaxle with front axle differential
• transfer box
• halfshafts and driveshafts
• Haldex clutch
• rear axle differential
The Haldex clutch guarantees continuous variable
torque transmission to the rear axle under all
driving conditions. The Haldex clutch reacts
immediately and equally quickly with slow or fast
wheel slip.
A difference in angle of rotation of 90° between the
input and output shafts is required to build up
maximum pressure at the multi-plate clutch or to
transmit maximum torque.
The advantage of vehicles with all-wheel drive is
that they distribute the drive between all four
wheels. They therefore have a higher tractive
power. They feature improved cornering behaviour,
as the grip at all four wheels can be better utilised.
Thus, the wheels contribute to a greater degree
towards cornering stability.
The engine torque is transmitted from the transfer
box to the rear axle via a driveshaft. The driveshaft
is flange-mounted to the input side of the Haldex
clutch.
Driving situations
Pulling away and accelerating
• When pulling away and accelerating, as muchall-wheel drive as necessary must be available
immediately in the short-term. During
acceleration, the electronic system detects slip
at the front axle. This slip is counter-controlled
and thus the propulsive force optimally
distributed to the two axes.
Cornering • A sporty driving style, in particular dynamic
cornering, demands stable cornering behaviour.
The all-wheel system distributes the propulsive
force to all four wheels and by so doing boosts
the high cornering forces so that the vehicle
makes optimum contact with the road surface.
Snow and black ice
• Snow and black ice require particularly high grip. Under these conditions, the Haldex clutch
always distributes the propulsive force to the
axle with the better traction. The all-wheel
system reacts intelligently and quickly to all
driving situations.
Trailer operation
• When driving with a trailer, the trailer weight (support load) is transmitted to the rear axle via
the towbar. This reduces the load on the front
wheels, which means they can slip. The
electronic system detects this difference and
distributes most of the propulsive force to the
rear axle.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL
The Haldex clutch is based on the principle of a
simple wet clutch that distributes the torque variably
between the front and rear axles.
Three components are linked within the Haldex
clutch:• A mechanical component, comprising input and
output shafts, the plate assembly (clutch) as
well as the cam plate and the roller bearing.
• A hydraulic component, essentially comprising pressure valves, a pressure accumulator, the
control valve, the ring pistons and a fluid filter.
• The electronic control comprises the electric fluid pump and the all-wheel drive control unit
with integrated pressure/temperature sensor
and an actuator motor for the control valve.

6. NOTE: If any of the readings vary by morethan 0.015 mm or the brake disc thickness
is less than the specified minimum, a new
brake disc must be installed and the brake
disc runout re-checked.
Check the brake disc thickness variation.
For additional information, refer to:Specifications (206-00 Brake System -
General Information, Specifications).
• Using a suitable micrometer, measure the brake disc thickness at eight positions, 45
degrees apart and approximately 15 mm from
the outer edge of the brake disc.

7. If all the brake disc runout measurementsand the thickness variation are within the
specifications, check the wheel balance.
8. If just the brake disc runout measurement with the wheel and tire fitted exceeds the
specification, the wheel and tire must be
rotated through 90 degrees in relation to the
brake disc and the brake disc runout
re-checked.
• If the brake disc runout measurement still exceeds the specification, repeat the wheel and tire rotation and checking process until
the measurement is within specification.
9. If the brake disc runout measurement without the wheel and tire fitted is outside the
specification, check the wheel hub face
runout.
10. NOTE: Using paint or typing correction fluid, mark the position of the brake disc in
relation to the wheel hub.
Remove the brake disc.
11. NOTE: Make sure that the wheel hub face is clean and free of rust and foreign
material.
NOTE: Re-position the dial indicator gauge so that
it contacts the wheel hub approximately 10 mm
from the outer edge of the wheel hub.
Check the wheel hub face runout.• Slowly rotate the wheel hub and note the readings.
