Solvent-based Adhesives/Sealers - See
Solvents
Follow manufacturers instructions.
Water-based Adhesives/Sealers
Those based on polymer emulsions and rubber
latexes may contain small amounts of volatile toxic
and harmful chemicals. Skin and eye contact
should be avoided and adequate ventilation
provided during use.
Hot Melt Adhesives
In the solid state, they are safe. In the molten state
they may cause burns and health hazards may
arise from the inhalation of toxic fumes.
Use appropriate protective clothing and a
thermostatically controlled heater with a thermal
cut-out and adequate extraction.
Resin-based Adhesives/Sealers, for
example Epoxide and Formaldehyde
Resin-based
Mixing should be carried out in well ventilated
areas, as harmful or toxic volatile chemicals may
be released.
Skin contact with uncured resins and hardeners
can result in irritation, dermatitis, and absorption
of toxic or harmful chemicals through the skin.
Splashes can damage the eyes.
Provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin and
eye contact.
Anaerobic, Cyanoacrylate (super-glues)
and other Acrylic Adhesives
Many are irritant, sensitizing or harmful to the skin
and respiratory tract. Some are eye irritants.
Skin and eye contact should be avoided and the
manufacturers instructions followed.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives (super-glues) MUST NOT
contact the skin or eyes. If skin or eye tissue is
bonded, cover with a clean moist pad and SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not
attempt to pull tissue apart. Use in well ventilated
areas as vapors can cause irritation to the nose
and eyes.For two-pack systems see Resin-based and
Isocyanate Adhesives/Sealers.
Isocyanate (Polyurethane)
Adhesives/Sealers
See also
Resin-based Adhesives.
Individuals suffering from asthma or respiratory
allergies should not work with or near these
materials as sensitivity reactions can occur.
Over exposure is irritating to the eyes and
respiratory system. Excessive concentrations may
produce effects on the nervous system including
drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of
consciousness may result. Long term exposure to
vapor concentrations may result in adverse health
effects.
Prolonged contact with the skin may have a
defatting effect which may lead to skin irritation
and in some cases, dermatitis.
Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort
and possible damage.
Any spraying should preferably be carried out in
exhaust ventilated booths, removing vapors and
spray droplets from the breathing zone.
Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory
protection.

Road/Roller Testing
Road or roller testing may be carried out for various
reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks,
engine starting and stopping, pre-driving checks,
on-test checks and final checks to be completed
on completion of the test is given below.
Unless complete vehicle performance is being
checked, the full road test procedure need not be
carried out. Instead, those items particularly
relevant to the system(s) being checked can be
extracted.
Pre-Test Checks
WARNING: If the brake system hydraulic
fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive
or a hydraulic leak is found, do not attempt
to road test the vehicle until the reason for
the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel
or hydraulic leak is found and rectified.
It is suggested that pre-test checks and functional
tests of those systems and circuits which affect the
safe and legal operations of the vehicle, such as
brakes, lights and steering, should always be
carried out before the road or roller test.
With the ignition switched off, check:
– the engine oil level.
– the engine coolant level.
– the tires, for correct pressure, compatible types and tread patterns, and wear within limits.
– that there is sufficient fuel in the tank to complete the test.
– all around the engine, transmission and under the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel
leaks. Make a note of any apparent leaks and
wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier
to identify the extent of the leak on completion
of the test.
Starting the Engine
NOTE: On initial drive away from cold and within
the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the
accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the
vehicle has attained a minimum speed of 25 km/h
(15 miles/h). Never operate at high engine speed
or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the
engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check: – that the parking brake is applied.
– that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
– that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge)
read zero.
With the ignition switched on, check:
– that the ignition controlled warning lamps are illuminated.
– that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
– that the fuel gauge registers a reading appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
– the operation of the parking brake warning lamp and fluid level warning indicator.
Road or Roller Testing
CAUTION: If road testing, check the brake
operation while still traveling at low speed
before continuing with the test. If the
brakes pull to one side, or appear to be
otherwise faulty, do not continue with the
road test until the fault has been found and
rectified.
During the road or roller test, check:
– that the clutch pedal operation is not stiff or heavy.
– that the initial gear engagement is smooth and there is no evidence of clutch drag.
– that the parking brake control operates smoothly and releases quickly and completely.
– that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly, without slip or judder.
– that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal noises or vibrations from the transmission.
– the engine power output is satisfactory, full power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and
pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine
speed returns to idle correctly.
– there is no excessive or abnormally colored smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
– that steering operation, including power steering (if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play
or vibration.
– that the steering does not pull to one side and self centers smoothly after cornering.

– that the speedometer, coolant temperaturegauge and tachometer (if equipped) register the
correct readings and operate correctly.
– that the switches and controls operate smoothly and positively, warning and indicator lamps
operate correctly and the direction indicator
control self cancels when the steering is
returned to the straight ahead position.
– that the heating and ventilation systems operate correctly and effectively.
– the brake operation and efficiency.
Brake Testing
WARNING: When brake testing, avoid
breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this
may contain asbestos dust which is
hazardous to health. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to: Health
and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake pads/discs or linings/drums
until the components have bedded-in. New
brake friction components will not reach
full efficiency until the bedding-in process
is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal
operating range using both light and heavy pedal
pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or
drag, and any undue delay in application or
release.
Allow the vehicle to coast and note any tendency
to pull to one side, or evidence that the brakes are
binding.
After stopping the vehicle (not immediately after a
period of heavy braking), carefully check the brake
temperature. A brake disc or brake drum that feels
hot or is appreciably hotter than the others,
indicates that the brake is binding.
After completion of the test, check for: – oil, coolant, hydraulic, air and fuel leaks.
– abnormal temperature of any moving
components or assemblies, for example wheel
hubs, transmission and axle, which might
indicate over tightness or lack of lubrication.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL269835471E97620
Auxiliary Climate Control – Overview
Initial start-up of the fuel-fired booster
heater
The fuel-fired booster heater needs to be filled
before being taken into operation for the first time.
Activation of the fuel pump for the fuel-fired booster
heater is controlled by the Ford diagnostic unit.
Lockout
Flame sensor
If the flame goes out independently during
operation of the booster heater, a restart is carried
out. If the booster heater does not ignite within 90
seconds of fuel delivery or if the flame goes out
within 15 minutes of starting, a lockout will be
implemented by the flame sensor.
Lockout can be cancelled by switching the booster
heater off then on again, although this may only
be repeated at most 2 times.
Overheating sensor
In the event of overheating (water shortage, poorly
ventilated coolant circuit), the fuel supply to the
booster heater is interrupted and a lockout occurs.
After the cause of the overheating has been
eliminated, the booster heater can be started again
by switching it off and on, if the coolant temperature
is below 70°C. If the booster heater overheats ten
times in a row, the control unit will be locked.
Unlocking the control unit
Delete the fault memory of the fuel-fired booster
heater after eliminating the cause of the fault using
the Ford diagnostic unit.
