The use of drum cleaning units, vacuum cleaning
or damp wiping is preferred.
Asbestos dust waste should be dampened, placed
in a sealed container and marked for safe disposal.
If any cutting or drilling is attempted on materials
containing asbestos the item should be dampened
and only hand tools or low speed power tools used.
Battery Acids
See also Acids and Alkalis.
For additional information, refer to:Battery and
Battery Charging Health and Safety Precautions
(100-00 General Information, Description and
Operation).
Brake and Clutch Linings and Pads
See Asbestos.
Brake Fluids (Polyalkylene Glycols)
See also Fire.
For additional information, refer to: Brake System
Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
Brazing
See Welding.
Chemical Materials
See also Legal Aspects.
Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers,
adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids,
antifreeze, brake fluids, fuels, oils and grease
should always be used with caution and stored and
handled with care. They may be toxic, harmful,
corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give rise
to hazardous fumes and dusts.
The effects of excessive exposure to chemicals
may be immediate or delayed; briefly experienced
or permanent; cumulative; superficial; life
threatening; or may reduce life expectancy.
Chemical Materials - Do's
– Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on material
containers (labels) and in any accompanying
leaflets, posters or other instructions. Material
health and safety data sheets can be obtained
from manufacturers.
– Do remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as practicable after soiling.
Change heavily soiled clothing and have it
cleaned.
– Do organize work practices and protective clothing to avoid soiling of the skin and eyes;
breathing vapors, aerosols, dusts or fumes;
inadequate container labeling; fire and explosion
hazards.
– Do wash before job breaks, before eating, smoking, drinking or using toilet facilities when
handling chemical materials.
– Do keep work areas clean, uncluttered and free of spills.
– Do store chemical materials according to national and local regulations.
– Do keep chemical materials out of the reach of children.
Chemical Materials - Do Nots
– Do not mix chemical materials except under themanufacturers instructions; some chemicals can
form other toxic or harmful chemicals, give off
toxic or harmful fumes or become explosive
when mixed together.
– Do not spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents, in confined spaces,
for example when people are inside a vehicle.
– Do not apply heat or flame to chemical materials except under the manufacturers instructions.
Some are highly flammable and some may
release toxic or harmful fumes.
– Do not leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic, harmful or explosive
concentrations. Some fumes are heavier than
air and will accumulate in confined areas such
as pits.
– Do not transfer chemical materials to unlabelled containers.
– Do not clean hands or clothing with chemicals. Chemicals, particularly solvents and fuels, will
dry the skin and may cause irritation leading to

Battery and Battery Charging Health and Safety Precautions
WARNINGS:
Batteries contain sulphuric acid, avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear
safety goggles when working near the
battery to protect against possible
splashing of the acid solution.
EYE CONTACT: If acid comes into contact
with the eyes, flush immediately with
plenty of running water for a minimum of
15 minutes. Seek immediate medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: If acid comes into contact
with the skin, flush immediately with plenty
of running water for a minimum of 15
minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
SWALLOWED: If acid is swallowed, rinse
the mouth with plenty of water and then
drink plenty of water or milk. Do not induce
vomiting. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases. Do not allow naked flames, sparks
or lighted substances to come near the
battery.
When charging the battery shield your face
and wear safety goggles. Provide adequate
ventilation.
CAUTION: Boost charging with excessive
current or voltage above 16 volts will
damage the battery.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: If none of the following warning indicators are operating correctly this may
indicate a concern with the central junction
box (CJB). If only one or two of the following
warning indicators are not operating
correctly this may indicate an instrument
cluster concern. Verify the following warning indicators are
working correctly:
• Charging.
• Turn signals.
• Headlamps.
5. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
Configuration of the Instrument Cluster
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.
The following features will need to be configured
when a new instrument cluster is installed:
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
• All wheel drive
• Keyless vehicle entry
• Electronic power assisted steering
• Trip computer
• Voice control
• Parking aid
• Belt minder
• Safety belt not fastened
• Right hand drive
• Overspeed warning
• Reverse warning
• Turbocharger boost pressure
• Speed control
• Auxiliary heater
• Suspension control
• Washer fluid sensor G1054964en
