Supplementary Restraints System

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Accessory seat covers

not released by Ford Motor Company

could prevent the deployment of the

airbags and increase the risk of injuries

in a crash.

WARNING:Extreme Hazard! Never

use a rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an active airbag in

front of it. Death or serious injury to the

child can occur.

Note: A loud bang sounds and there is a

cloud of harmless powdery residue if an

airbag deploys. This is normal.

WARNING:Do not modify the front

of your vehicle in any way. This could

adversely affect deployment of the

airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning

could result in serious personal injury or

death.

For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with

a soft, damp cloth.

DRIVER AIRBAG

WARNING: Wear a seatbelt and

keep sufficient distance between

yourself and the steering wheel. Only

when you use the seatbelt correctly, can

it hold you in a position that allows the

airbag to achieve its optimum effect.

Failure to adhere to this warning could

result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Repairs to the steering

wheel, steering column, seats, airbags

and seatbelts must be carried out by an

authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to

this warning could result in serious

personal injury or death.

E74302

The airbag will deploy during significant

frontal and near frontal collisions. The

airbag will inflate within a few thousandths

of a second and deflate on contact with

the occupant, thus cushioning forward

body movement. During minor frontal

collisions, overturns, rear collisions and

side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

WARNING: Keep the areas in front

of the airbags free from obstruction. Do

not affix anything to or over the airbag

covers. Objects could become projectiles

during airbag deployment. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in

personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not poke sharp

objects into areas where airbags are

fitted. This could damage and adversely

affect deployment of the airbags. Failure

to follow this instruction could result in

personal injury or death.

personal injury in the event of a crash.

E152533

The side airbags are designed to inflate

between the door panel and the occupant

to enhance the protection in certain

crashes.

The airbag is designed to deploy during a

significant lateral crash. It might also

deploy during a significant frontal crash.

The airbag is not designed to deploy during

a minor lateral or frontal crash, rear crash

or a vehicle rollover.

E75004

DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG

The airbags are above the front and rear

side windows.

The airbag is designed to deploy during a

significant lateral or frontal angled crash.

The airbag is not designed to deploy during

a minor lateral and frontal crash, rear crash

or a vehicle rollover.

WARNING:Do not attempt to open

the airbag cover.

The knee airbag is under the instrument

panel. The system works along with the

front airbags to help reduce injury to the

legs. When the airbags activate in a crash,

the knee airbag deploys from under the

instrument panel. As with front and side

airbags, it is important to be properly

seated and restrained to reduce the risk of

death or serious injury.

Note: The airbag has a lower deployment

threshold than the front airbags. During a

minor crash, it is possible that only the knee

airbag deploys.
