Supplementary Restraints System -> Safety Canopy? for Your Ford Ecosport SUV 2020

Supplementary Restraints System  
A driver knee airbag is located under or  
within the instrument panel. A passenger  
knee airbag is located within or under the  
glove box door. During a crash, the  
restraints control module may activate the  
driver and passenger knee airbags based  
on crash severity and occupant conditions.  
Under certain crash and occupant  
conditions, the driver and passenger knee  
airbag may deploy but the driver front  
airbag may not activate. As with front and  
side airbags, it is important to be properly  
seated and restrained to reduce the risk of  
death or serious injury.  
Make sure the knee airbags are  
operating properly. See Crash  
Sensors and Airbag Indicator  
(page 47).  
Crash sensors and monitoring  
system with readiness indicator.  
See Side Airbags (page 43).  
The design and development of the side  
airbag system included recommended  
testing procedures that were developed  
by a group of automotive safety experts  
known as the Side Airbag Technical  
Working Group. These recommended  
testing procedures help reduce the risk of  
injuries related to the deployment of side  
airbags.

The Safety Canopy deploys during  
significant side crashes or when a certain  
likelihood of a rollover event is detected  
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy  
is mounted to the roof side rail sheet metal,  
behind the headliner, above each row of  
seats. In certain sideways crashes or  
rollover events, the Safety Canopy will be  
activated, regardless of which seats are  
occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed

will not interfere with children restrained  
using a properly installed child or booster  
seat because it is designed to inflate
