If the frontal airbags have
deployed, the airbags will not
function again and must be replaced
immediately. The frontal airbag system
must be inspected and serviced by a
qualified technician in accordance with
the vehicle service manual. If the frontal
airbags are not replaced, the unrepaired
area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
SIDE HEAD AND THORAX
AIRBAG SYSTEM
OPERATION (where fitted)
WARNINGS
Do not block, obstruct or
cover the side airbag (where
fitted) because it may prevent proper
deployment of the airbag and increase
your risk of injury. For example, do not
lean your head on the door or hang a
coat or jacket over the seatback.
Do not use accessory seat
covers.
Do not attempt to service, repair
or modify the side airbag system.
Please refer to your Ford dealer.
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT
BELT. The wearing of seat belts is
required by law, even when airbags are
fitted.
Occupant protection
How does the frontal airbag
system work?
Sensors in the vehicle detect the degree
of severity of a frontal impact. The
airbags are designed to deploy if the
collision suits the criteria for deployment.
• The propellant causes a rapid
chemical reaction in a container
producing gas to fill the airbag(s).
• The inflating airbag deploys out
of the steering wheel in front of
the driver and deploys out of the
instrument panel in front of the
passenger. This takes place in a
fraction of a second.
• The bags deflate as the gas
escapes.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see
a cloud of harmless powdery residue if
an airbag deploys. This is normal.
The system is designed to help reduce
serious injuries. Contact with a deploying
airbag may cause abrasions, swelling,
minor burns and temporary hearing loss.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly
and with considerable force, there is
the risk of death or serious injuries such
as fractures, facial and eye injuries or
internal injuries, particular to occupants
who are not properly restrained or are
otherwise out of position at the time of
airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the airbag
module as possible while maintaining
vehicle control.
WARNINGS
Several airbag system
components get hot after inflation.
Do not touch after inflation.
