engine FORD KUGA 2010 1.G Owner's Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres
(5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.

Starting the engineE99666 E87381 E99586

Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the
exhaust will radiate a considerable
amount of heat during and after DPF
regeneration, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard. CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:After you have switched your
engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions could
assist the regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or
motorway, for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions. •
Do not switch off the ignition.
• Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Vehicles with a turbocharger CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do,
the turbocharger will continue
running after the engine oil pressure has
dropped to zero. This will lead to
premature turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and
then switch it off.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users. Do not use any kind of flames or
heat near the fuel system. The fuel
system is under pressure. There is
a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking. FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system. Note:We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
CAUTIONS
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
petrol to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system. CAUTIONS
Use diesel that meets the
specification defined by
EN 590, or
the relevant national specification. Note:
We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note:The use of additives or other
engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended.
Note:We do not recommend the
prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing.
Long-term storage
Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is
recommended to fill the tank with purely
mineral diesel (where available) or add an
anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of
your vehicle exceeding two months. Your
dealer can help you with a suitable
anti-oxidant.
FUEL FILLER FLAP WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
Do not use any kind of flames or
heat near the fuel system. The fuel
system is under pressure. There is
a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking. CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). 104
Fuel and refuelling

Press the flap to open it. Open the flap
fully until it engages.
When you insert the fuel nozzle, a spring
loaded inhibitor will open if the correct size
nozzle is detected. This helps to avoid
filling up with the wrong fuel.
WARNING
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users. Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including
the first notch on the nozzle. Keep it
resting on the cover of the fuel pipe
opening. WARNING
We recommend that you wait at
least 10 seconds before removing
the fuel nozzle to allow any residual
fuel to drain into the fuel tank. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.
A funnel is located in the glove box. Use
this when refilling with a fuel can.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard. Driving with a catalytic
converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.

CAUTIONS
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Using booster cables
(page 154).Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures
are derived from laboratory tests
according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC
and subsequent amendments and are
carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the
real world fuel consumption you may get
from your vehicle. Real world fuel
consumption is governed by many factors
including; driving style, high speed driving,
stop/start driving, air conditioning usage,
the accessories fitted and towing etc.
Your Ford dealer can give you advice on
improving your fuel consumption.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic stability programme
(ESP)
WARNING
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
without ESP
A
with ESP
B
The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends. Stability control (ESP) warning lamp
The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See
Warning
lamps and indicators (page 64).
Emergency brake assist WARNING
Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.
Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
Trailer stability control
WARNINGS
Trailer stability control does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
tow with due care and attention.
Disabling ESP will turn off the
system.
Trailer stability control is an enhanced
feature of ESP, and automatically detects
when an attached trailer starts to sway.
If this situation occurs, the system will
automatically brake individual wheels to
stabilise the trailer and vehicle. In case a
very severe sway is detected, the engine
torque will be reduced and the vehicle will
be slowed automatically.
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note:The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the ignition on.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or rear fitted
accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Note:On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (orlighting boards) are connected to the13-pin socket via a trailer tow module wehave approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicleis fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the sidewall remains constant for three seconds,the tone will switch off. As you continue,the inner sensors will detect rearwardobjects.
USING THE PARKING AID
Switching the parking aid on
and off
Note:
The parking aid switches off
automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).
Note:The front and rear sensors are
always activated or deactivated together.
The parking aid is per default off. To
switch the parking aid on, press the switch
in the instrument panel or select reverse
gear.
