2011 FORD KUGA Rf key

Standard Workshop Practices
Vehicle in Workshop
When working on a vehicle in the workshop always
make sure that:
– the parking brake is applied or the wheels aresecurely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving
forwards or backwards.
– the key is removed from key operated hood locks before any work is carried out around the
front of the vehicle.
– if the engine is to be run, there is adequate ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes.
– there is adequate room to raise the vehicle and remove the wheels, if necessary.
– fender covers are always fitted if any work is to be carried out in the engine compartment.
– the battery is disconnected if working on the engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle
is raised.
CAUTION: When electric arc welding on a
vehicle, always disconnect the generator
wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge
of current causing damage to the internal
components of the generator.
– if using welding equipment on the vehicle, a suitable fire extinguisher is readily available.
Towing the Vehicle
WARNING: When the vehicle is being
towed, the ignition switch must be in
position II (steering lock released and
warning lamps illuminated). Only then will
the steering, turn signal lamps, horn and
stop lamps be operational. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal
injury.
NOTE: The removable towing eye (if equipped),
has a left-hand thread and must be fully tightened
before towing can commence.
When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.
When a vehicle with automatic transmission is
towed, the gear selector must be in position N (Neutral). Never tow a vehicle with automatic
transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50
km/h) or for a distance greater than 30 miles (50
km). If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a greater
distance, the drive wheels must be lifted clear off
the ground.
Alternatively the vehicle can be transported on a
low loader or a trailer.
Connecting a Slave Battery Using
Jumper Cables
WARNING: If the slave battery has recently
been charged and is gassing, cover the
vent plugs or covers with a damp cloth to
reduce the risk of explosion should arcing
occur when connecting the jumper cables.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
A discharged battery condition may have
been caused by an electrical short circuit.
If this condition exists there will be an
apparently live circuit on the vehicle even
when all normal circuits are switched off.
This can cause arcing when the jumper
cables are connected.
While it is not recommended that the
vehicle is jump started, it is recognized
that this may occasionally be the only
practical way to mobilize a vehicle. In such
an instance, the discharged battery must
be recharged immediately after jump
starting to avoid permanent damage.
– Always make sure that the jumper cables are adequate for the task. Heavy duty cables must
be used.
– Always make sure that the slave battery is of the same voltage as the vehicle battery. The
batteries must be connected in parallel.
– Always make sure that switched electric circuits are switched off before connecting jumper
cables. This reduces the risk of arcing occurring
when the final connection is made.

Boost heat mode
When the engine is running, the booster heater
helps the engine to heat the passenger
compartment at low ambient temperatures.
When the coolant temperature reaches 30 °C, the
control unit transmits a switch-on signal for the
passenger compartment blower via the CAN bus.
When the coolant temperature drops, the blower
remains on until the temperature reaches 20 °C
whereupon it is deactivated.
The fuel tank must be filled to at least 14% for the
system to be switched on. If the fuel level drops
below 8% then the system is switched off.
In boost mode, the fuel fired booster heater is only
switched on if all of the following criteria are met:
• Engine speed above 500 rpm. The fuel fired booster heater is not allowed to start up while
the engine is being cranked; this prevents a
shut-down due to low voltage if the battery
charge is low.
• Ambient temperature below 5 °C.
• Fuel level above 14% of total capacity.
• Function is active on the trip computer menu.
One of the following conditions is sufficient to
switch off the booster heater in boost heat mode:
• Engine speed below 500 rpm.
• Ambient temperature above 11 °C.
• Function is active on the trip computer menu.
• Fuel level below 8% of total capacity.
Programmable fuel fired booster heater
The programmable fuel fired booster heater has
two operating modes:
• Instant start
• Programmed start
The heater status is displayed on the instrument
cluster display. The parking heater mode is controlled via a menu in the message centre. The
fuel fired booster heater can be activated and
deactivated via the message centre. (If set to 'Auto'
the system is activated, if set to 'Off' the system is
completely deactivated)
Immediate start-up of the booster
heater
This function enables the fuel-fired booster heater
to be switched on manually when the engine is not
running. This function is activated via the menu on
the driver information system.
The ignition key must be in the II" position before
this menu can be accessed. The timer function of
the booster heater remains active when the ignition
key is in position "0".
After an immediate start-up of the booster heater
it is switched off again after 30 minutes (or if the
fuel level in the fuel tank drops below 8%). The
booster heater stops within 2 minutes of the engine
starting. This leaves enough time to check whether
the switch-on conditions for boost heat mode have
been met, thus preventing the booster heater from
having to switch off and switch back on again. The
heater can be switched off manually at any time
from the menu.
Programmed start-up of the booster
heater
The driver can use a menu to adjust the time at
which the vehicle is to be pre-heated. The following
options are available:
• Time setting. One or two times can be
programmed for each day of the week. It is
possible to program days either individually or
together in groups (Mon-Sun/Mon-Sat/Mon-Fri).
• Time and data setting
With the first option, the fuel-fired booster heater
will start repeatedly without needing to be G1066982en
