Supplementary Restraints System -> Safety Canopy? for your Ford Ecosport 2012-2022
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.
