Anti-lock Brake SystemSuperior Braking with ABS and EBD
The New Ford Everest is designed for provide responsive and reassuring braking performance with its four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with G-sensor equipped Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) for stable braking even when heavily loaded.
Anti-lock Braking System Prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, even on slippery surfaces, assisting the driver in maintaining directional control in the New Ford Everest.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Optimizes the distribution of braking force to the front and rear wheels in accordance with the vehicle’s speed and load. The system is calibrated for excellent adaptability to a wide range of laden and un-laden conditions, reflecting the premium versatility of the New Ford Everest.
ABS [4W-ABS]• The ABS HU/CM, integrating both the hydraulic unit (HU) and control
module (CM), has been adopted, resulting in size and weight reduction.• Select-low controlled-4-wheel anti-lock brake system with 4-sensor and
3-channel has been adopted, and has the following features. • The integrated ABS Hydraulic Unit/Control Module (HU/CM) system is
compact, lightweight and highly reliable.

Operation • As the ABS sensor rotor rotates,
magnetic flux formed from the permanent magnet varies and an alternating current is formed with an electromagnetic conductor. Using this alternating current, rotation speed is expressed as a varying proportional cycle and from detection of this cycle the CM part of the ABS HU/CM can then detect the wheel rotation speed. While the structures of the front and rear ABS wheel-speed sensor differ, the operation is the same.
Construction • The front ABS wheel-speed sensor
is installed on the steering knuckle and the front ABS sensor rotor is integrated with the front wheel hub (4x2) or drive shaft (4x4).
• The rear ABS wheel-speed sensor is installed on the hub spindle and the rear ABS sensor rotor is integrated with the rear axle shaft.
ABS Wheel-Speed Sensor and Rotor Construction & Operation
G Sensor Function
• Because the 4x2 vehicle is based on the 4x4 vehicle, the 4x4 ABS system has been adopted, Therefore, the G-sensor, which is generally installed to 4x4 vehicles only, is installed to the 4x2 vehicle.
• Because the 4x4 vehicle ABS system has been adopted on the 4x2 vehicle, the ABS is controlled in the same way as the 4x4 vehicle.
In the 4x2 vehicle and the 4x4 vehicle, the G-sensor detects and calculates the vehicle G force (acceleration and deceleration G force), and outputs the change in voltage to the ABS HU/CM.

Suspension
Front suspension • The double wishbone suspension, which has A-shape lower arms, is
used for the front suspension. A-shape lower arms have high rigidly and durability.
• The torsion bar springs are used for both 4x2 and 4x4 models.
• The torsion bar spring is pre-coiled in one direction. It therefore gives ample spring performance when installed correctly, but only half if installed in reverse. An R (right) or L (left) is marked on the rear end of the bar to distinguish one from the other. The left and right, and 4x2 and 4x4 torsion bar springs are not interchangeable.

• The rigid axle suspension with leaf spring is used for the rear suspension.
• To prevent wind-up of the leaf springs during rapid acceleration or deceleration, the shock absorber on the right side is mounted at the rear of the axle and the left one is mounted at the front of the axle, (bias mount).In order to increase the rigidity in the lateral direction, wide shackle plates are used in the frame mounting.
• The rear springs are mounted on top of the axle housing to raise the centre of gravity. Thus, the shock absorbers attach directly to brackets welded to the axle housing.

Body
Copyright © 2009 Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa. 21
Follow these instructions when towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground or with the front wheels on the ground and the rear wheels raised.
4 x 4 Models1. Put the transfer case in 2H. 2. Set the transfer case at 2H and the hubs at FREE.
All Models 1. Set the transmission in neutral. 2. Turn the engine switch to ACC(I). 3. Release the parking brake.
Remember that power assist for the brakes and steering will not be available when the engine is not running. If the vehicle has 4 x 4, change to 2-wheel drive before having the vehicle towed. If this is not possible, tow with all four wheels raised.
With Manual TransmissionIf the transmission, rear axle, and steering system are not damaged, the vehicle may be towed on all four wheels. If any of these components are damaged, use wheel dollies.
With Automatic Transmission If excessive damage or other conditions prevent towing the vehicle with the driving wheels off the ground, use wheel dollies. If all four wheels are on the ground, the vehicle may be towed only forward. Do not exceed 45 km/h and a distance of 15 km, you could damage the transmission. If speed must exceed 45 km/h or a towing distance of 15 km, use one of these methods:
• Place the rear wheels on dollies. • Tow with the rear wheels off the ground. • Disconnect the propeller shaft.
If the transmission or rear axle is inoperative, tow with the rear wheels off the ground.

Body StructurePure SUV styling
The styling of the Everest is pure SUV. Various frontal presentations were considered, but it was the bold front end of the Ranger that consumers liked. The platform – chassis, suspension, brakes, etc – is shared with the Ranger and so are some body panels like the front doors and the bonnet. However, all other sheet metal and glass is unique to the Everest. As it uses the Ranger platform, this means the Everest design has ‘body-on-chassis’ (BOC) construction, the traditional way of building pick-ups and SUVs. Typically, the body shell is bolted onto a chassis of two longitudinal beams and the merits of this are in load-carrying capability. Everest’s protective body structure features door intrusion beams and reinforced A, B and C-pillars to manage crash forces away from the driver and passengers and maintain the shape and integrity of the passenger safety cell.Structure

5. Wind each end of the piano wire around a bar.
• Use a long sawing action to
spread the work over the whole length of the piano wire to prevent it from breaking.
6. Working with another person, saw
through the sealant around the edge of the glass.
7. Remove the side window glass.
Side Window glass Installation
• Proper installation of the side window glass may be difficult if the sealant is cracked or the glass is pushed out by air pressure when a door is opened/closed with all the windows closed. Leave all the windows open until the side window glass is installed completely.
1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1-2mm thickness of
sealant remains around the circumference if the frame.
• Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some
primer after degreasing, and allow it approximately 30 minutes to dry. Then put new sealant to create a 2mm layer.
3. Clean and degrease an approximately 50mm wide strip around the circumference of the glass and the bonding area on the body.
4. Insert the spacers into the body.
Copyright © 2009 Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa. 39
7. Set the side window in place and insert the pins into the body. Install the side window glass.
8. Allow the sealant to harden completely.
Sealant hardening time: 24 Hours
6. Apply sealant to the areas of the glass surface as shown in the figure.
5. Use only glass primer on the glass, and body primer on the body and molding. Allow it to dry for approximately 30 minutes.
• Keep the area free of dirt and
grease, and do not touch the surface. Otherwise, the primer may not properly bond to the surface of the glass and body, which may cause leaks to occur.

Aluminium AnodizingAnodizing Aluminium and How It Works
Exposed to the earth's atmosphere, aluminium combines with oxygen to form a protective surface film which inhibits further oxidation of the aluminium. Unlike steel or iron alloys, aluminium will not continue to oxidize (rust) once this protective layer is formed. This natural oxide is extremely thin and loosely adhered to the aluminium surface, however, and is easily removed by handling. Anodizing is a process which thickens the natural oxide film resulting in a heavy aluminium oxide film of controlled thickness having the hardness similar to that of a ruby or sapphire. When aluminium is anodized conventionally, direct electrical current (DC) is passed through a bath of sulphuric acid -- the electrolyte -- while the aluminium being treated serves as the anode. This produces a clear film of aluminium oxide on the aluminium’s surface. Electron microscopy indicates that this layer is mostly porous with a very thin barrier layer at the base. This structure lends itself very well to electrolytic colouring or absorptive dying. During the anodizing process, several controls are critical to assure the specified film thickness, its abrasion resistance and density. These controls include a precise combination of chemical concentration, temperature and current density.
Anodizing: Working With Aluminium The quality of finished aluminium extrusions and anodized products is a function of the knowledge, experience and capability of the people and equipment used. To achieve this first-rate extrusions and anodized finishes, meticulous attention must be paid to every detail -- from using the finest aluminium and press practices to maintaining the tightest chemical and electrical controls.

The Aluminium Anodizing ProcessPre-Treatment: Cleaning is done in a non-etching, alkaline detergent heated to approximately 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This process removes accumulated contaminants and light oils. Rinsing: Multiple rinses, some using strictly de-ionized water, follow each process step. Etching (Chemical Milling): Etching in caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) prepares the aluminium for anodizing by chemically removing a thin layer of aluminium. This alkaline bath gives the aluminium surface a matte appearance. Desmutting: Rinsing in an acidic solution removes unwanted surface alloy constituent particles not removed by the etching process. Anodizing: Aluminium is immersed in a tank containing an electrolyte having a 15% sulphuric acid concentration. Electric current is passed through the electrolyte and the aluminium is made the anode in this electrolytic cell; the tank is the cathode. Voltage applied across the anode and cathode causes negatively charged anions to migrate to the anode where the oxygen in the anions combines with the aluminium to form aluminium oxide (Al2O3). Colouring: Anodic films are well suited to a variety of colouring methods including absorptive dyeing, both organic and inorganic dyestuffs, and electrolytic colouring. Sealing: In all the anodizing process, the proper sealing of the porous oxide coating is absolutely essential to the satisfactory performance of the coating. The pores must be rendered non-absorbent to provide maximum resistance to corrosion and stains. This is accomplished through a hydrothermal treatment in proprietary chemical baths or by capping the pores via the precipitation of metal salts in the pore openings.

Airbag SystemAirbag module inspection
• Inspecting an airbag module using a tester can operate (deploy) the airbag module, which may cause serious injury. Do not use a tester to inspect an airbag module. Always use the onboard diagnostic function to diagnose the airbag module for malfunctions.
Airbag module handling• Before removing the airbag module or disconnecting the airbag module
connector, always turn the ignition switch to the lock position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 minute or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
• Handling a live (undeployed) airbag module that is pointed toward your
body could result in serious injury if the airbag module were to accidentally operate (deploy). When carrying a live (undeployed) airbag module, point the deployment surface away from your body to lessen the chance of injury in case it operates (deploys).

SAS control module handling• Remove the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control
module connector with the ignition switch at the ON position can activate the sensor in the SAS control module and operate (deploy) the airbags and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and wait for 1 minute or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
• Connecting the SAS control module connector with the SAS control
module not securely fixed to the vehicle is dangerous. The sensor in the SAS control module could send an electrical signal to the airbag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts. This will operate (deploy) the airbags and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the connector, securely fix the SAS control module to the vehicle.
• Because a sensor is built into the SAS control module, once the airbag
and pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the SAS control module must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. The used SAS control module may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper operation. If the SAS control module is reused, the airbags and pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. Always replace the SAS control module with a new one. The SAS control module cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.
• A live (undeployed) airbag module placed with its deployment surface to ground is dangerous. If the airbag module were to accidentally operate (deploy), it could cause serious injury. Always place a live (undeployed) airbag module with its deployment surface up.
