mirror will not operate correctly if light through the
rear window glass is obstructed.

General Passive vehicle Key
The system is designed to eliminate the need to

use any form of key.
The basic function of the system is to allow the
operator to gain entry to and operate the vehicle
without the turning of keys or the pressing of
buttons. This must be achieved without
compromising the security or safety of the vehicle.
To gain access to the vehicle, a passive vehicle
key must be about the person that is trying to gain
access. At a distance of approximately 2 meters

condition.
To lock the vehicle, all doors must be closed and
a passive vehicle key coded to the vehicle must
be in range of the exterior keyless vehicle antenna
before the lock button on the exterior door handle
or liftgate/luggage compartment lid is pressed.
To minimize the risk of scanning during the use of
the passive key, the system is equipped with a
rolling code. This means that the code received by
the keyless vehicle module changes after each
successful operation. E56098

vehicles built before 2008 model year) to
indicate that it is now possible to programme
the keys for ten seconds.
5. Press and hold one of the buttons on the
remote transmitter until a chime sounds. This
indicates a new transmitter code has been
successfully received.
6. To program additional transmitters, repeat

calculate the amount of precipitation falling on the
windshield and request that the windshield wipers
are switched on.

Continued use of the crash sensor is permissible
provided it has not been physically damaged and
it passes a self-test.
The external shape of the crash sensor prevents
it from being installed incorrectly.
Side Impact Sensors
E55880
The clockspring is designed to carry signals

between the RCM and the driver air bag module.
The clockspring is installed on the steering column,
and consists of fixed and moving parts connected
by a coiled Mylar tape with internal conducting
tracks. The Mylar tape is able to 'wind up' and
'unwind' as the steering wheel is rotated,
maintaining electrical contact at all times between
the RCM and the driver air bag module.

A passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch can

be fitted by the dealer as an optional extra; the
PAD switch is installed in the glove box. The driver
E51936 can operate the PAD switch with a key to
deactivate the passenger air bag module.
The driver and passenger air bags are single-stage
air bags. When the ignition is switched on, a warning lamp
in the instrument panel indicates to the driver and
passenger that the passenger air bag module has
been deactivated.

Environmental Regulations
Orderly and responsible waste management is not
only very important for the protection of health and
the environment, but it also has great importance
where saving natural resources is concerned.
In body repair shops, since the introduction of the
EU directives on the avoidance of vehicle waste
and the promotion of return, re-use and recycling
of vehicles and their components (2000/53/EU),
more rigorous attention than before is also paid to
avoidance and recycling of waste materials.
NOTE: The organization of disposal in the
operation must comply with the country specific
waste regulations:
In this respect, body repair shops must take into
account and comply with the following
requirements:
• Separate waste according to its recycling and
disposal methods.
• Produce evidence for the correct transport and
disposal of waste.
NOTE: The organization of disposal in the plant
must comply with the requirements of the Waste
Avoidance and Management Act.
The avoidance and recycling of waste must always
take priority. However, despite all measures which
may be taken, waste cannot be completely
avoided.
NOTE: Useable waste which is not allowed in
household rubbish, must be disposed of as special
waste
All remaining waste must be treated as commercial
waste and disposed of according to the local
requirements.
Only applies to the EU:

The vehicle manufacturer is also under a legal
obligation since the older vehicle legislation came
into force throughout Europe in 2002.
This law covers the surrender, withdrawal and
environmentally friendly disposal of older vehicles
through the manufacturer.
The older vehicle legislation contains all the
necessary information for the environmentally
compatible disposal of older vehicles, starting with
preliminary handling involving the removal of all
operating fluids, deactivation of pyrotechnic
components, elimination of pollutants and then
further handling by dismantling components for
re-use and recycling.

Crash element:
At the front of the vehicle there is a crash element
which is connected to the side member by threaded
connections. This crash element can absorb light
impacts of up to about 15 km/hr. Because of the
threaded connections, the crash element can be
changed very quickly.
NOTE: Deformed crash elements must not be
straightened or repaired.
Heavier impacts which can no longer be absorbed
by the crash element must be absorbed by the side

• Control of the start conditions by resistance
measurement (dirt, paint, bodywork adhesive,
shunt circuit through the next spot weld).
• Ensuring the optimum welded connection.
• Checking the energy balance, resistance and
quality.
In the case of resistance spot welded connections,
faults in the weld are difficult to see from the
outside. It is therefore absolutely vital to know the
particular properties of the welding machine being
used. A test weld with subsequent peeling test will
provide information on the quality of the weld. The
spot weld itself must not separate, it must tear
away leaving a hole.
In the production of vehicle bodies, MIG welding
plays a minor role as a joining technique. It is used
for components subject to high demands, such as
threaded plates for axle mountings, or at locations
which cannot be spot welded for access reasons.

attention to the warning instructions of the particular
equipment manufacturer.
Possible cut lines (example)
Depending on the separating tools used, there are

some fundamental points to bear in mind:
• Only start the cutting work once the new part is
to hand.
• Compare the new part with the old part for
shape and size.
• The straightening work must be completed
before any body components to be replaced are
cut out.
• Before separation work is started, all welded
connections which cannot be seen must be
freed of underbody protection, sealant etc.
NOTE: Steplessly variable machines increase the
working life of the cutting tool. Use of a suitable
Spot weld milling tool lubricant can increase this even further.
Resistance spot welds are separated using a spot A spot weld milling tool usually has an adjustable

Rod sander
Another option for separating resistance spot welds
is to use the rod sander.
The cutting depth of the orbital saw can be set.

This allows separating cuts to be made, despite
panels or other components lying in danger behind.
Straight cut lines can be more easily made using
the orbital saw.
If spot welds and MIG welds are difficult to reach,
a rod sander may offer an alternative.
Short stroke saw

The short stroke saw is suitable for separating
vehicle body components and for making a
separating cut for partial repairs.
NOTE: In order not to damage panels, wiring

harnesses, hoses or similar components which lie
behind, remove them beforehand as necessary.
The narrow design of the saw blade permits cutting
in tight curves. Straight cuts require a relatively
great deal of practice.

a dent to be removed:
• The diameter must be no more than 50 mm.
• No material stretching in the centre of the dent.
• Repair area must be accessible
Furthermore, sufficient experience in the use of
special tools and knowledge of materials are also
requirements for a successful repair.
Satisfactory repair results are only possible on mild

2011.00 Focus 8/2010 G468073en
http://vnx.su
Special features to note when puddle welding:
• The panels to be joined must lie perfectly flat to
one another.
• The panel flanges must be treated with
corrosion protection. The position of the weld
must be bare.
• Prepare the holes depending on the thickness
and number of the panels. The hole size should
be 6-10 mm, or match the original weld spot.
• Start the welding procedure on the panel at the
bottom so that the hole is filled completely.
Continuous bead welding

A welded joint with a full seam is suitable for joining
highly profiled body parts. Pillar and sill areas are
typical application areas.
Special features to note during bead welding:

• Both parts of the panel must be bare on both
sides over a width of 5 mm.
• Align the parts precisely with clamps.
• To prevent the panel from warping, tack longer
joints before welding them.
Intermittent bead welding

Intermittent bead welding is used when the
connecting flanges are stepped. This form of seam
is mainly used on the external panel area for
sectional repairs.

• The liquid brazing material is drawn between
the panels through capillary action.
Rivets
With riveting, two or more panels are joined
together using a joining element (rivet). In body
construction, pop rivets and punched rivets are
used.
Advantages of riveted connections:
• Metallic and non-metallic materials can be joined
together.
• Different thicknesses of materials can be used.
• The material does not have to be heated, and
therefore does not warp.
• Low level of preparation required.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on the procedure,
please refer to the equipment manufacturer's
operating manual.
Disadvantage:
• During dismantling procedures, swarf/rivet
remains can fall into inaccessible cavities, which
can lead to rattling and rusting.

Advantages of glued joints:
• They are air and watertight.
• High corrosion protection
• Different materials can be connected.
• Bonding can be combined with resistance spot
welding.
NOTE: The quality of the bonded connection is
largely dependent on the care taken during
preparatory work. When gluing bodywork parts,
follow the work instructions from the adhesive
manufacturer.
Bonding and welding

On some vehicle models, (such as the Ford Ka),
bonding is combined with resistance spot welding.
This connection technique has the following
advantages:
• Tight, anti-corrosion connection seam.
• High strength due to additional resistance weld
spots.
Please note the following points during the repair
work:
• Only use adhesive suitable for welding
(conductive).
• Carry out resistance spot welding on the
connection flanges before the adhesive
hardening process.
• Carry out test welding with the adhesive applied.
• If MIG welding is carried out during a sectional
repair on a connection flange with adhesive
material, the adhesive material must be applied
at a distance of approx. 10 mm from the weld
spot.
Bonding and riveting

As with welding, bonding can also be combined
with riveting. This connection technique has
additional advantages. These are:
• Metallic and non-metallic materials can be joined
together.
• Different thicknesses of materials can be used.

Ultrasonic test
This test searches for leaks in the system of seals
or rather acoustic bridges. When an ultrasonic
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle, it sends
out ultrasonic waves. A leak is located by running
a detector along the suspected area. The position
with the loudest reception of the escaping
ultrasonic waves indicates places where noises Diagnosis
occur.
Ultrasonic test device Wind noises often have similar causes as the
general NVH noises. For instance, a windshield
which is incorrectly bonded in position can cause
normal driving noises to become more noticeable.
Asking the customer detailed questions and a road
test together with the customer are the
requirements for a targeted diagnosis.
NOTE: Take the customer concern seriously. But
do not confirm that a noise is a problem until you
are sure that it is something which is not normal
for the vehicle series.
Possible questions:
• How long has the noise been there?
• Has any work been done on the vehicle?
• Where does the noise come from?
• In which driving situation does the noise
appear?
• Is there any special situation in which the noise

The measuring device described below is used for
diagnosis of the solid-borne sound and solid-borne
sound transmission paths. The device is particularly
suitable for medium and high frequency noise
analyses. It principally enables noise diagnosis in
the area of solid-borne sound and helps to identify
solid-borne sound transmission routes.
In order to obtain a positive diagnosis of droning
problems (low frequency noises) and their sources,
you must have sufficient experience of how to use
this measuring device.
The device works according to the following
operating principle: Accelerometers (transmitters)
are fitted on various vehicle components or body
areas. The signals recorded here can be listened
to one after the other on headphones or speakers
via the different channels. Simultaneous illustration Used to diagnose solid-borne sound and its

2011.00 Focus 8/2010 G468076en
http://vnx.su
The test device has six different channels for noise
diagnosis. This means that six microphones
equipped with clamps can be attached to different
components on the vehicle. The emitted or
transmitted solid-borne sound will be transferred
from microphone to the headphones. There is an
amplifier between the microphone and the
headphones at which the signal strengths and the
corresponding channel can be set.
Only the noises from one microphone are
transferred to the headphones. Each channel is
color-coded on the clamp, cable and amplifier.
NOTE: In order to be able to relate the positions
of the different microphones during the test
process, they are entered in a special test sheet
according to their colors. Microphones, clamps and
cables must be carefully routed and attached.
Test process (example for transmission noise):
• Attach microphones to various positions on the
transmission or mountings. This first allows the
source of the noise to be determined, and then
the possible transfer routes.
• A road test can be performed after all the
clamps have been attached to the vehicle and
all the cables connected to the amplifier.
• Firstly, all the channels are switched through
one after the other in neutral, to check the
operation of the different channels as well as
the noise level in neutral.
• During the road test, all channels are listened
to in the different gears, engine speeds, vehicle
speeds and loads. This procedural method
permits unambiguous diagnosis of the cause of
the noise and the route of the noise until it
enters the bodywork structure.
• The characteristics of the noise which is the
cause of the concern should match those of the
noise which is heard. This means compare the
sound.
• Depending on the input signal level, there may
be a great deal of difference in the noise level
in the individual channels.
• Always set the amplifier volume to zero before
switching to another channel.
• In order to be able to make any comparisons,
the volume settings of the different channels
must be recorded on the test sheet.

and handling paint materials When working with solvents, always use
suitable means of protection.
Hazardous areas in repair paint shops:
• Danger from fires, explosions and hot surfaces.
• Dangers to health and safety from the effects
of harmful substances because of their
absorption through the skin and/or inhalation.
• Dangers caused by electricity, compressed air,
power tools and noise.
WARNING: During painting work there is
an increased danger of fire or explosion.
Prevent any sparks being created. Fire,
naked lights and smoking are forbidden.
Measures:
• Wear protective footwear made from anti-static
material.
• Only use tools made of wood, brass or copper
to clean stands and extraction ducts. Do not use
tools made of steel.
Only fill or decant paint materials in a specially
marked area.

Tools and Equipment for Paint Repairs

General work equipment
Principle of operation
In the repair paint shop there is a range of painting
tools which make the work of the painter easier
and improve the quality of the repair paintwork.
Among these are small tools which are used for
the following work:
• Measuring beakers to measure and mix
various paint materials.
• Measuring rods with which the required
combination amounts of paint and primer filler

The spray gun is the most important implement in
the paint shop. Application of paint using the spray
gun can produce a layer with absolutely constant
thickness and a smooth paint surface.

small as possible.
In order to ensure that a spray gun operates
efficiently for a long time, careful cleaning is
absolutely vital after use.
NOTE: During cleaning you must distinguish
between water based and solvent based materials.
Cleaning by hand:
• Empty the paint beaker immediately after use.
• Flush the gun with cleaner.
• Clean it inside and outside with a brush.
• Dismantle the gun to clean it thoroughly.
• Clean the air cap using a suitable brush.
• Use nozzle cleaning needles to clean bores and
nozzles.
A spray gun washing machine is recommended if
the painting work is highly intensive.
New types of paint processing systems are
replacing the conventional mixing beaker, filter and
spray gun flow beaker. This reduces the amount
of solvent required for cleaning and the amount of
routine waste which remains.
Item Description
1 Beaker
2 Color bag
With this system, which is suitable for both suction
and flow beaker spray guns, only one beaker is
required for mixing and painting.
A bag is inserted in the beaker, in which paint can
be mixed, processed and stored after use or
completely disposed of.
The small quantity of paint remaining in the gun is
removed using a minimum quantity of solvent from
the pipette bottle.
The amount of cleaner used is reduced because
only the spray gun needs to be cleaned.
Hand and machine sanding tools

Sanding is used to prepare a surface for application
of a paint layer, enabling it to adhere well. Sanding
materials have a great influence on the quality of
a repair paint finish. The correct sanding medium
must therefore be chosen for every material.

The filters should have a dust-removal grade of
not less than 99.8% and must always be kept
clean.
It is especially important that the air supply does
not cause strong air currents in the painting cabin.
If not, the following problems could occur:
• Paint contamination cause by paint mist, which
persists in air eddies and gradually falls on the
fresh paintwork.
• Flow problems in the paint because of the high
speed of the air, causing the paint to thicken
very quickly on the surface.

Painting cabin paint mist.
The air requirement in a painting cabin is large.
The outside air which is drawn in must be passed
through filtering and warming equipment. This
particularly applies during colder times of the year
and especially for combined types of building where
the painting cabin is also used as a drying cabin.
It is primarily used to keep the air free of dust. At
the same time, explosive solvent-air mixture
concentrations are prevented
NOTE: Vacuum will lead to contamination of the
newly applied paint. The outside air flows through
door gaps, wall joints and other openings and as
it does so, brings dust deposits with it.
The air supply quantity depends on the size of the
painting space and the quantity of extracted air.
Enough air must be supplied to cause positive
pressure in the painting space. An air extraction :
air supply ratio of about 1 : 1.05 is sufficient.

Paint Repairs
General information Clean the area of the damage
There is a great difference between painting in

production and repair painting.
In production, only the bodyshell is painted, it has
no trim, upholstery or assemblies. Because of this,
other paints, tools and processing techniques can
be used.
In contrast to that used in production, paint used
in the workshop must dry at low temperatures.
Plastics and the vehicle electronics must not be
subjected to temperatures greater than 70°C.

consists of two phases: Clean the damaged surface thoroughly, to allow

Cleaning putty
Cleaning putty allows deposits on the paint surface
to be removed easily and gently. The following
paint faults can be removed using cleaning putty:
• Metal deposits and iron dust.
• Paint or color mist.
• Tree resin and tar.
• Insect residues.
The surface to be worked must be thoroughly
cleaned before the cleaning putty can be applied.
Then the surface is sprayed with soapy water. Now
the cleaning putty can be slid over the surface until
all unevenness is removed.

Color Identification and Chromatics

Basic color theory in) and other components are reflected (sent on).
The components which are reflected produce the

it is vital to understand the physical principles of
the origin of color impression.
Color
Color itself is a sensory perception.

This perception arises through the combined effect
of the following components:
• Light (sunlight or artificial light irradiates the
object).
• Surface of the object (reflection from the object
of certain constituent parts of the light).
The colors as we see them are the result of a
• Eye (perception of the reflections from the combination of reflected colors from the spectrum.
object). Physically speaking, these are electromagnetic
waves with different wavelengths (and
frequencies). The healthy human eye can
recognize wavelengths between 0.36 µm (violet)
and 0.78 µm (red).
If all the perceptible wavelengths of the spectrum
impinge on the human eye at the same time, the
impression of white light is produced.
Additive and subtractive color mixing
Because the sensory impression of color is

produced by all three of these components, it is
dependent on the type, quality and function of the
individual components. Practical examples make
this clear:
• If a particular article is subjected to artificial light,
then it gives a different impression of color to
that which it gives in sunlight.
• An object with uniform color but different surface
textures appears to have different colors
(grained or ungrained dashboard).
Additive color mixing is the combination of light

In addition, black and/or white may be necessary
to produce a particular color shade.
• White makes the color shade lighter.
• Black makes the color shade darker.
• With black and white the color shade becomes
more dreary or greyer.

Oswald color circle
Metallic and pearl pigments
Colored paints achieve their color effect by the
addition of pigments. Pigments are colored, solid,
very fine organic and inorganic particles which are
insoluble in the binding material.
Metallic pigments
Aluminum platelets are added as pigment to form

metallic paint.
The Oswald color circle is based on subtractive

color mixing, and enables the behavior of paints
when they are mixed together to be represented.
Colors lying opposite each other are
complementary colors and should not be mixed
together as this will produce a dull (i.e. grey) shade.
If green is added to red, the red becomes greyer,
not greener.
Color shades which are side by side are partner
colors and produce a mixed color shade. For
instance, mixing red and blue produces a pure
violet.
2011.00 Focus 8/2010 G506676en
http://vnx.su
Pearl pigments
The basis of pearl pigments is formed by mica,

which is metallized with a silver or gold layer.
Depending on the angles of light and observation,
the mica platelets reflect different proportions of
light. Because of this, the color of the paint appears
to the observer to change.
Pearl pigments produce a colored and light-dark

Various tinted fillers are used during factory
painting. In order to achieve the exact color shade
of the factory applied paint, attention should be
paid that the correctly matched fillers are used.

alternately sprayed and polished until a perfect
transition surface is achieved.
Paint faults on soft plastic components where
elasticizer additive has been used in painting must
be wet sanded using grade P2000 - P2500 paper.
In doing this the sanding location and the
surroundings are sprayed with temperature
reduction spray and the paint faults sanded out by
hand. Afterwards the location is polished as
described above.

this may cause color shade problems. Some colors
change so much at higher temperatures that it can
lead to an incorrect result. Red color shades are
particularly prone to this shade behavior.
This means that color determination should always
be done on the bodywork when it is at about the
same temperature as the later working temperature
will be. The best temperature of the item is between
15° and 25° C.
Isopropanol and water

Painted surfaces are very easily cleaned using a

Determination and Color Theory.
• When shading, if possible only use the paint
mixture that is also allotted in the color shade
formula.
• Observe the rules concerning contrary colors
(complementary colors) and partner colors
according to the Oswald color circle.
• Complementary colors are not recommended
during shading because they mutually inhibit
and lead to muddy mixtures.
Sanding marks
In certain circumstances, the recommended
sanding methods up to now are no longer suitable
for light metallic color shades. Wet sanding with
grade P1200 paper or a grey sanding pad can
cause sanding scratches which can become very
visible under certain lights.
In order to achieve an excellent paint result on
difficult color shades, follow these working rules:
• Sand filler as before, rub down area to be
painted with 3M ultra fine matting sponge and
3M matting gel.
painted with soaked 3M wet sand paper P1500
- P2000.
painted with 3M 260 L P1000 eccentric
(Interface Pad).
Improving touch-up work

During application of special effect base paints,
the effect particles align themselves exactly parallel
to the surface in the paint layer while it is still liquid.
This means a particular thickness of the paint layer
is required.
Because during painting the layer thickness in the
transition zones reduces from normal to zero, the
effect particles can no longer align themselves.
This leads to lighter, darker or cloudy zones.
If 1-component clear lacquer is sprayed before the
base coat, this effect is prevented. An optically
perfect transition will result.
