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

reprogrammed. However, if the engine hasn't been
run since the last programmed start, the fuel-fired
booster heater will not start up the second time so
as to prevent the battery from being discharged.
The length of time required to pre-heat the vehicle
is calculated in the control unit of the fuel-fired
booster heater and is based on two temperature
values:
• Ambient air temperature: this message is taken
from the GEM via the CAN bus.
• Coolant temperature: this is determined via an internal sensor in the fuel-fired booster heater.
The maximum heating time is 30 minutes at an
outside air temperature of -10 °C or lower. The
heating time decreases proportionally with
increasing ambient temperature until the ambient
temperature is between +15 °C and +20 °C. Then
the minimum heating time is 10 minutes. The
parking heater is deactivated at temperatures
above +20 °C.
The sequence for a programmed start of the
booster heater is as follows:
• Two minutes before the start of the maximum heating time the driver information
system/instrument cluster sends an activation
message to the fuel-fired booster heater via the
CAN bus.
• The fuel-fired booster heater calculates the required heating time and, if necessary, sends
a delay request on the CAN bus.
• At the calculated time, the fuel-fired booster heater starts up. The conditions for start-up are:
engine not running and amount of fuel in the
fuel tank is above 14% of maximum.
• When the coolant temperature reaches +30 °C, the control unit of the fuel-fired booster heater
sends a request to switch on the passenger
compartment blower.
• Eight minutes after the programmed switch-off time, the booster heater stops heating mode
and starts a run-on operation to clean the
system's spark plugs.
• Ten minutes after the switch-off time, the post-cleaning operation is complete. The
additional ten minutes run-on time provides
some leeway in case the driver is late arriving.
After a programmed start-up of the booster heater
it is switched off again after the heating time has
elapsed (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.
Whilst the fuel-fired booster heater is in additional
heating mode and/or parking heating mode, the
instrument cluster receives a fuel consumption
signal; this is used to re-calculate the vehicle's
remaining range and fuel consumption data.
Emergency shutoff
In the event of an accident in which the airbags
are deployed, the control unit of the fuel-fired
booster heater receives a message on the CAN
bus from the restraints control module (RCM).
When this message is received, the booster heater
system switches off immediately.
The booster heater control module deactivates the
system and does not respond to further messages
on the CAN bus. The booster heater control module
needs to be activated with WDS.
Component Description
Electric Booster Heater
The electric booster heater consists of three
individual heating elements, which are incorporated
into a single housing. It is controlled by the generic
electronic module (GEM), taking into account the
following factors:

Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination
Refer to
Wiring Diagrams Section 413-00, for
schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: A new instrument cluster must be
configured.
The instrument cluster and panel illumination
consists of dimmable and non-dimmable
illumination. The dimmable panel illumination is
controlled by the panel illumination switch (part of
the headlamp switch), which allows the brightness
level of the backlights to be adjusted dependent
on the customer preference. When the headlamp
switch is in the parking lamps ON or headlamps
ON position, the intensity of the backlighting can
be adjusted using the panel dimmer switch. The
non dimmable illumination allows for full intensity
dependant on the ignition switch position.

warning indicators are not operating
correctly this may indicate an instrument
cluster concern. Verify the following warning indicators are
working correctly:
• Charging.
• Turn signals.
• Headlamps.
5. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
Configuration of the Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster is a programmable module,
which must be configured by selecting the
Programmable Module Installation Routine on the
Ford approved diagnostic tool.
NOTE: When the new instrument cluster has been
configured with the odometer value, its
configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A
new configuration will result in an increase in the
displayed odometer value by a minimum of two
units.
NOTE: The odometer value must be recorded from
the original instrument cluster before removal.
If the odometer value cannot be obtained from
the original instrument cluster (display failure)
the customer should supply the approximate
value.
The following features will need to be configured
when a new instrument cluster is installed:
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
• All wheel drive
• Keyless vehicle entry
• Electronic power assisted steering
• Trip computer
• Voice control
• Parking aid
• Belt minder
• Safety belt not fastened
• Right hand drive
