    Help needed with new D4

    Hi Guys,

    Picked up the 2011 D4 Yesterday and got some time to poke around, I have some questions - hope you can help.

    It is a D4 2011 TDY6 2.7 Coomandshift - looks like an SE to me. But has some upgrades.

    Yes I read parts of the manual & scanned others.

    1) the "passenger air bag is off" light is coming on, yet on the passenger's side there is no key to turn it on & off. It has a blank plate and behind it is the connector for what I guess is to connect the panel with the key to turn the airbag on and off ? Anyone know if there is another way to turn it back on ?

    2) the radio has a configuration symbol - but have not worked out how to get into the config via the radio screen - any help ?

    3) the D4 has leather seats as an upgrade, looked under it and found Ford - yuk - seat warmers - yet there are no buttons for me to activate them - could these not be wired in ? or are they automatic, if so how would they turn on ?

    4) under the drivers seat is a big black box with no labels with lots of wires going to it. Some sort of command module I think - is this the ECU ?

    5) saw a blank panel under the passenger seat - guess this is where the Sat Nav goes into.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi Tor - I can only talk to the first item - in Aust you are not permitted to tinker with the passenger airbag so the ability to turn it off is not an option - so no key etc.

    When you say the light is coming on - is that just on start where the light goes through a startup test function and then should switch off OR is it on all the time? If this is the case then there is an issue and it will need to go on a test book to have it turned on or if there is an actual fault then it will have to dealt with by a dealer.

    Does you's have a large screen on the dash??

    Main ECU is behind the battery under the bonnet.

    I think the heated seats work in conjunction with something else??

    Our doesn't have any of what yours has, so can't answer most of what you want.

    Thanks for the information, the light stays on for a little while and then it turns off. Does that mean it is on ?

    So when the airbag is off, the light should stay on all the time ?

    Thanks for the help.

    No large screen, it has the the SE default radio screen.

    I wonder what the box is then !!! Mystery..... Another puzzle to solve ?

    The heaters are wired to something - Haven't traced the wires yet.

    Thanks for the help though = appreciated.

    If it is a 2.7 it isn't an SE. The 2.7 can be optioned up though.
    Are you sure they are seat warmers? It is possible it is something to do with the airbags or seatbelt pre-tensioner.
    There are a lot of Ford parts in the D3s and D4s as the D3 was designed when LR was owned by Ford. The motor is a Ford PSA collaboration for example. Most of the electronics is Ford/Volvo.

    Do you need to register? I can't find my way round the website to get any details if my D4... (Could it be because I'm on an iPad not a PC?)
