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

For additional information, refer to: Brake System

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

Introduction
WARNING: Always handle all solvents,
sealers and adhesives with extreme care.
Some contain chemicals or give off fumes
which can be dangerous to health. Always
follow the manufacturers instructions. If in
doubt about any substance, particularly a
solvent, DO NOT use it.
CAUTION: If in doubt about the suitability
of any proprietary solvent or sealer for a
particular application, contact the
manufacturer of the product for
information regarding storage, handling
and application.
The Health and Safety Precautions subsection
refers to some commonly used chemicals and

Front parking aid speaker
The front parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids when the rear parking aid speaker
fails.
Parking aid switch
The parking aid switch is a non-locking switch with
an integrated LED for switching the parking aid on
and off. When pressed, the parking aid switch
momentarily connects a ground to the parking aid
module. The LED indicates when the parking aid
is active. The LED is controlled by the parking aid
module.
The parking aid switch allows the driver to disable
the parking aid when reverse gear is selected or
to activate the parking aid sensors when not in
reverse gear.
If a high tone is emitted for 3 seconds and the lights
in the switch flash, this indicates that there is a
fault. The system is then deactivated. Parking aid camera module
The data from the optional parking aid is sent to
the module via the Mid Speed CAN data bus. The
signals from the steering angle sensor are sent to
the module via cable. The module is connected to
the navigation device via a video-in/out cable.
Parking Aid Camera
The wide angle lens camera is fixed in the handle
strip of the tailgate. It is connected to the parking
aid camera module via a separate line.

concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
Components Tests
Steering Linkage
1. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and move it upand down and to the left and right without
turning the steering wheel to check the steering
column bearing for wear, steering column shaft
for wear, steering wheel for looseness and
steering column for looseness. If the steering
column bearing or the steering column shaft is
worn install a new steering column. If the
steering wheel or the steering column is loose,
tighten the steering wheel or the steering column
retaining bolts.
2. With the road wheels in the straight ahead position, gently turn the steering wheel to the
left and the right to check for free play in the
steering linkage.
3. There should be no excessive free play at the steering wheel rim. If there is excessive free
play, CHECK the tie-rod inner and outer ball
joints, REFER to Tie-Rod Component Test in
this procedure. CHECK the steering column
universal joint, REFER to Steering Column
Universal Joint Component Test in this
procedure. If there is no free play in the tie-rod
and the steering column, install a new steering
gear.
Tie-Rod
CAUTION: Steering gear boots must be
handled carefully to avoid damage. Use
new steering boot clamps when installing
the steering gear boots.
NOTE: Noises such as knocks, which may appear
to originate from the steering linkage, may also be
generated by front suspension components.
