Supplementary Restraints System -> Principle of Operation for Your Ford Kuga SUV 2020

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.
