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.

headliner at the siderail that may come
into contact with a deploying curtain
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
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.
