FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Viton is a fluoroelastomer, that is a synthetic rubber
type material, which contains Fluorine. It is
commonly used for O-rings, gaskets and seals of
all types. Although Viton is the most well known
fluoroelastomer, there are others, including Fluorel
and Tecmoflon.
When used under design conditions
fluoroelastomers are perfectly safe. If, however,
they are exposed to temperatures in excess of
400°C, the material will not burn, but will
decompose, and one of the products formed is
hydrofluoric acid.
This acid is extremely corrosive and may be
absorbed directly, through contact, into the general
body system.
O-rings, seals or gaskets which have been exposed
to very high temperatures will appear charred or
as a black sticky substance.
DO NOT; under any circumstances touch them or
the attached components.
Enquiries should be made to determine whether
Viton or any other fluoroelastomer has been used
in the affected O-ring, seal or gasket. If they are of
natural rubber or nitrile there is no hazard. If in
doubt, be cautious, as the material may be Viton
or any fluoroelastomer.
If Viton or any other fluoroelastomers have been
used, the affected area should be decontaminated
before the commencement of work.
Disposable heavy duty plastic gloves should be
worn at all times, and the affected area washed
down using wire wool and a limewater (calcium
hydroxide) solution to neutralize the acid before
disposing of the decomposed Viton residue and
final cleaning of the area. After use, the plastic
gloves should be discarded carefully and safely.
Welding
See alsoFire, Electric Shock, Gas Cylinders.
Welding processes include Resistance Welding
(Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas Welding.
Resistance Welding
This process may cause particles of molten metal
to be emitted at a high velocity, and the eyes and
skin must be protected.
Arc Welding
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet
radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin burns
to the operator and to other persons nearby.
Gas-shielded welding processes are particularly
hazardous in this respect. Personal protection must
be worn, and screens used to shield other people.
CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO
REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES WHEN
ARC WELDING as the arc spectrum is believed to
emit microwaves which dry out the fluid between
the lens and the eye. This may result in blindness
when the lens is removed from the eye.
Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and
gases from the metals being welded, the rods and
from any applied coatings or contamination on the
surfaces being worked on. These gases and fumes
may be toxic and inhalation of these should be
avoided. The use of extraction ventilation to remove
the fumes from the working area may be necessary
particularly in cases where the general ventilation
is poor, or where considerable welding work is
anticipated. In extreme cases or confined spaces
where adequate ventilation cannot be provided,
air-fed respirators may be necessary.
Gas Welding (and Cutting)
Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding
and cutting, and special care must be taken to
prevent leakage of these gases, with consequent
risk of fire and explosion.
The process will produce metal spatter and eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be
used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken
to avoid inhalation of fumes and expert advice may
be required.

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health and Safety Precautions
WARNINGS:
Only qualified technicians are allowed to
work on air conditioning (A/C) systems.
Air conditioning (A/C) system components
can become particularly hot or cold.
Make sure that the air conditioning (A/C)
system is at ambient temperature before
carrying out any repair.
When handling refrigerants, always wear
protective goggles and gloves made of
fluoroelastomer. Leather or fabric gloves
are not suitable.
SKIN CONTACT: If liquid refrigerant comes
into contact with the skin, it produces
severe frostbite. Immediately flush affected
areas with plenty of cold running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: If refrigerant comes into
contact with the eyes, immediately flush
the eyes with plenty of running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
INHALED: Toxic gases generated when
refrigerant is heated are hazardous to
health. The gases have an irritating smell
and can cause lung damage. The
symptoms can continue for a long time
after having been in contact with the gases.
The gases can cause lung damage even if
the amount of gas in the air is too small to
smell.
Refrigerant is flammable and explosive.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are not
exposed to temperatures greater than 45°C.
Make sure that the local regulations
regarding work on air conditioning (A/C)
systems are adhered to.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are
closed properly.
Gaseous refrigerant has a higher density
than air. There is a danger of suffocation
when working close to the ground or in
workshop pits.
Provide adequate ventilation when
handling refrigerant.
Never release refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
Only use special tools, equipment and
lubricants that are approved for the type
of refrigerant being used.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the correct servicing unit
operating procedure.
CAUTIONS:
Do not mix refrigerant oils for different
types of refrigerant.
Never mix different types of refrigerant or
equipment intended for them.
Only use refrigerant in gas form when
filling the system through the low-pressure
connection.
Only use refrigerant in liquid form when
filling the system through the
high-pressure connection.
Refrigerant attacks certain plastics. Only
use seals suitable for refrigerant.
If the air conditioning (A/C) compressor is
damaged, the fixed orifice tube can
become blocked with metal particles.
Any sort of blockage in the refrigerant
circuit will damage the air conditioning
(A/C) compressor irreparably.
If the air conditioning (A/C) system has
been opened for a period greater than 2
hours, a new receiver drier must be
installed and the evacuating time to be
increased by a minimum of 2 hours.
NOTE: New air conditioning (A/C) compressors
are delivered prefilled.
NOTE: Refrigerant oil in new air conditioning (A/C)
compressors can contain Teflon, visible as white
particles, which will not harm the system.

Personal protection
Besides the body and limbs, several organs vital
to life are in very particular danger. Because
damage is mostly irreparable, special attention and
comprehensive protection is necessary.
Protective equipment
Always use the appropriate protective equipment:
• Protective helmet or welding mask
• Breathing protection
• Protective clothes gloves and safety boots
• Ear defenders
• Extraction systems
Always carry out an operational check on your
protective equipment every time before you start
working!
Breathing protection
WARNING: Vapor or spray mist containing
isocyanates as a paint base or hardener
can cause toxic respiratory disease
(conditions similar to asthma) leading to
permanent damage, even when inhaled in
the lowest concentrations
The instructions for use provided by the
manufacturer must be observed when working with
breathing protection equipment.
During painting work and in the preparations for
painting, gases, vapors, mists or dusts can appear
in dangerous concentrations.
Breathing protection devices which are
independent of the local atmosphere are most
suitable.
In these types of isolation systems, a compressed
air hose carries natural air from the compressor
line into the protective mask. During supply, the
air undergoes pressure reduction, water removal,
fine filtration and usually warming to natural breath
temperature.

Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in the brake master cylinderreservoir. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir
if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position.
Raise and support the vehicle. REFER to: (100-02
Jacking and Lifting) Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
lb) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75 lb ft). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder.
REFER to: Brake Master Cylinder - 2.5L Duratec
(147kW/200PS) - VI5 (206-06 Hydraulic Brake
Actuation, Removal and Installation).
Non-Pressure Leaks
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect
positioning of the gasket and cap. Reposition the
cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir mounting seals. Service
such a leak by installing new seals.
