Ford Kuga engine runlock
A Kuga used by a site manager, land agent or security supervisor gets parked on open ground in all weathers. In winter, switching off for twenty minutes means returning to a frosted windscreen and a cold cabin.
Winter on site in a Kuga
The Kuga's raised driving position and practical boot suit people who visit farms, building sites and remote properties. They often carry radios, tablets and chargers. In the colder months, they want the heater running while they walk a site or check a gate.
Frost on the glass, or a car left open
Leave the engine off and you come back to a car that needs clearing before you can move. Leave it idling, fob in the cubby, and it is sitting open in a yard or a lay-by. Rural sites are quiet places, which is exactly why an idling car left alone there is a target.
Our runlock for the Kuga
The Kuga is listed in our coverage from 2012 for keyless cars, so please confirm yours is keyless. The runlock module keeps the engine going while you are out on foot carrying the key, and the Kuga stays locked. The CAN bus tells it about speed, pedals, the handbrake and the doors, and it lets go the instant a pedal is used, the handbrake is lowered or anyone swings the driver's door open with the conditions unmet. A Kuga cruise control retrofit is also available.
