automatic FORD KUGA 2011 1.G Owner's Manual

Combined rain sensor/light sensor
CAUTIONS:
On vehicles with autolamps, retrofitting
with daytime running lamps is not
permissible, as otherwise, the engine
cannot be stopped when the lighting is
switched on.
On vehicles with autolamps, the daytime
running lamp fuse must not be fitted, as
otherwise, the engine cannot be stopped
when the lighting is switched on.
The combined rain sensor/light sensor is located
behind the interior rear view mirror.
autolamps The low beams, side lamps, license plate lamps
as well as the instrument cluster and instrument
panel illumination are switched on automatically if
all the following conditions are met:
• Ignition ON
• Light switch in the "AUTO" position
•
Detected ambient light conditions below a stored
threshold value
These are switched on and off by the GEM (generic
electronic module) in accordance with the input
signals from the combined rain/light sensor.
Headlamp switch-off delay
In vehicles with mid to high-end equipment, the
headlamp switch-off delay uses the dipped beam
headlamps and the door entry illumination (if
equipped) to illuminate the vehicle surroundings.
This function is activated by operating the main
beam headlamp lever with the ignition switched
off. After the last door has been closed, the function
remains active for a further 30 seconds and then
switches off automatically.
When a door or the tailgate is open, the switch-off
time is extended to 180 seconds. After the last door
has been closed, the switch-off time is reset to 30
seconds.
The headlamp switch-off delay can be deactivated
prematurely by operating the high beam lever again
or by switching on the ignition.
The switch-off time is adjusted to fixed values at
the factory and can
notbe re-programmed using
WDS.
Turn signals The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times.

The following components are part of the automatic
headlamp leveling system:
• Vehicle level sensors on the front and rear axles
• Control module
• Actuator motors for headlamp leveling Accordingly, the system needs to be set up with
the aid of WDS after any components are replaced
or any other repairs are carried out.
The front and rear sensors are Hall sensors which
send a digital signal to the control unit.

When the heated rear window switch is pressed
again, the test of the relevant signal is terminated.
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
once more, the test for the next signal in the list is
started.
Ending the service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7 km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• SWITCH OFF the ignition
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
3 signals sound and the turn signal lamps illuminate
to indicate that service mode has ended.
Reset service mode
If, after completion of service mode, some functions
do not operate or do not operate properly, check
the following functions:
• Instrument cluster illumination, side lamps and license plate lamp in autolamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp Washers
• Electric booster heater
• Active anti-theft sounder
• Heated windshield
If one or more of the listed functions is not OK, it's
possible that the cause of the fault is due to not
exiting service mode properly. To reactivate the
functions correctly, perform the following steps:
1. SWITCH OFF the ignition
2. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system
3. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
4. Turn on the ignition. 5. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (an
acoustic signal will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
6. SWITCH the windscreen wash/wipe switch to the "Intermittent wipe" position
7. OPERATE the heated rear window switch 6 times (the main beam headlamps switch on and

9. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
10. SWITCH OFF the ignition
11. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (three

Inspection and Checking
NOTE: The generic electronic module (GEM) forms
part of the central junction box (CJB).
NOTE: If the instrument cluster is changed, it must
be re-configured. For this purpose, the
vehicle-specific data is read out of the module to
be replaced using the Ford approved diagnostic
tool and is transferred to the new module.
NOTE: Before reading out the vehicle-specific data,
remake all the separated electrical connections in
the vehicle, so that communication between the
module and the Ford approved diagnostic tool is
ensured.
