• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3
• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3 and
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3

DAB radio
DAB is a procedure for digital transmission of radio
programs.
The DAB system was developed in Europe within
the framework of a European development program
and in recent years has been introduced in many
European countries.
The audio signals from up to 12 radio stations are
packaged into a multiplex and bundled into a single
data stream. This is then broadcast via one or more
terrestrial transmitters. This means that individual
transmitters are no longer needed for each radio
station.
In addition to the much larger range of stations that
can be provided to radio listeners through DAB,
there are also several big technical advantages
over the current FM, MW, LW and SW
transmission:
• Provided the receiver can receive the signal from the DAB transmitter, sound reproduction
is guaranteed. There is no fading, as is typical
for AM and mobile FM reception.
• Interference, such as crackling noises caused by high voltage lines, is filtered out by the DAB
receiver. • With DAB, there is no overlapping of different
stations.
• If the transmission signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings while en route, this
causes interference with FM. With DAB,
however, reception is significantly improved by
this.
Service linking
As soon as the audio device no longer receives
the FM signal in sufficient quality, it automatically
switches to the corresponding DAB transmitter, but
the FM display in the audio device remains active.
When the FM signal becomes available again in
sufficient quality, the device automatically switches
back.
AUX port
The audio systems have an auxiliary device input
(AUX IN) which enables the playback of auxiliary
devices such as MiniDisc or MP3 players via the
vehicle's audio system. Sounds is played back
through the vehicle loudspeakers.
Radio remote control. The following functions can be controlled with the
remote control:

System Operation
Overview
NOTE: In order to prevent discharge of the battery,
if the vehicle is stationary, the Bluetooth mobile
phone and the voice control should only be used
for long periods when the engine is running.
NOTE: For certain mobile phones with the Symbian
operating system, a particular file must be installed
to allow full access to the telephone directory via
Bluetooth. This file is referred to as an SIS file and
can be downloaded from the Ford website. You
can obtain more detailed information from your
Ford dealer.
The system allows the driver to use a Bluetooth
equipped cellular phone handset through the
vehicles Information and Entertainment system.
A physical connection (adapter) between the phone
handset and the telephone control module is not
necessary and is therefore not available.
Communications between the two components are
purely Bluetooth. This can limit the available
functions dependant on the handset used.
The mobile phone system comprises the following
components:
• Control module for mobile electronic auxiliary equipment
• Microphone.
The control module for the mobile electronic
auxiliary equipment is connected to the
Infotainment system via the CAN bus and the audio
line. This enables audio and control signals to be
passed to and from the auxiliary equipment. The
mobile electronic auxiliary equipment control
module is equipped with a built-in Bluetooth
antenna.
Using Bluetooth it is possible to transfer audio files
from Bluetooth compatible storage media to the audio system and replay them (audio streaming).
This function will however only be available at a
later date.
Voice Control
Voice control makes it possible to operate the audio
system without the driver being distracted from the
traffic situation.
When the system is active, if the driver issues a
pre-defined order, the voice recognition system
converts this command into a control signal for the
various multimedia systems. The input can take
the form of dialogues or commands. The driver is
guided through the dialogues by announcements
or questions.
The following systems can be controlled using the
voice recognition system:
• Mobile phone
• Radio function
• CD player/CD changer
•
EATC (electronic automatic temperature control)
• DVD navigation system with touchscreen – Voice control via the mobile electronicauxiliary equipment control module is
unnecessary for the DVD navigation system
with touchscreen because this system has
its own integrated voice control function. G1055659en

Combined rain sensor/light sensor
CAUTIONS:
On vehicles with autolamps, retrofitting
with daytime running lamps is not
permissible, as otherwise, the engine
cannot be stopped when the lighting is
switched on.
On vehicles with autolamps, the daytime
running lamp fuse must not be fitted, as
otherwise, the engine cannot be stopped
when the lighting is switched on.
The combined rain sensor/light sensor is located
behind the interior rear view mirror.
autolamps The low beams, side lamps, license plate lamps
as well as the instrument cluster and instrument
panel illumination are switched on automatically if
all the following conditions are met:
• Ignition ON
• Light switch in the "AUTO" position
•
Detected ambient light conditions below a stored
threshold value
These are switched on and off by the GEM (generic
electronic module) in accordance with the input
signals from the combined rain/light sensor.
Headlamp switch-off delay
In vehicles with mid to high-end equipment, the
headlamp switch-off delay uses the dipped beam
headlamps and the door entry illumination (if
equipped) to illuminate the vehicle surroundings.
This function is activated by operating the main
beam headlamp lever with the ignition switched
off. After the last door has been closed, the function
remains active for a further 30 seconds and then
switches off automatically.
When a door or the tailgate is open, the switch-off
time is extended to 180 seconds. After the last door
has been closed, the switch-off time is reset to 30
seconds.
The headlamp switch-off delay can be deactivated
prematurely by operating the high beam lever again
or by switching on the ignition.
The switch-off time is adjusted to fixed values at
the factory and can
notbe re-programmed using
WDS.
Turn signals The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUALE101618

The manual headlamp levelling system operates
with an electric motor which is controlled via a
rotary control in the instrument cluster.
Turn signals
The GEM switches the direction indicators and the
direction indicator side repeaters on.
The GEM sends a signal to the instrument cluster
via the CAN (controller area network) bus to switch
on the relevant turn indicator and the acoustic
signal.
The signals from the hazard flasher switch and
from the multifunction switch are transmitted to the
GEM via a wiring connection.
Combined rain sensor/light sensor
The ambient light sensor determines the general
light intensity.
For this purpose, it detects the light over as wide
an angle as possible, without taking the direction
of incidence into account.
The front light sensor determines the light intensity
directly in front of the vehicle.
If both the ambient light sensor and the front light
sensor detect a sudden reduction in light intensity
at the same time, then an algorithm-based
calculation is used to determine the fact that the
vehicle has entered a tunnel, a multi-storey car
park or a long underpass.
In this case the request for switching on the
external lighting and the indicator in the instrument
cluster is transmitted to the GEM.
If the vehicle enters into the shade thrown by a
large truck, the two sensors will register different
light intensities.. In this case, the algorithm-based
calculation will not result in the lights being
switched on.
The GEM incorporates a stepped switch-off of the
dipped beam headlamps, side lamps, license plate
illumination and the instrument cluster and
instrument panel illumination. If the ambient light
changes from dark to bright, the GEM first switches
off the low beams. The side lamps, license plate
lamps as well as the instrument cluster and
instrument panel illumination are switched off
approx. 6 seconds after the low beams have been
switched off.
