Page Seating and Safety Restraints Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. The front passenger air bag is not designed to offer protection to an occupant in the center front seating position.

Page Seating and Safety Restraints How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work? The air bag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates air bag inflation. Page Seating and Safety Restraints Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately.

If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. Page Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Safety Canopy system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy.

All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always The design and development of the Safety Canopy system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Air Bag Technical Working Group. Page Seating and Safety Restraints The Safety Canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the headliner, above the first and second row seats. In certain lateral collisions or rollover events, the Safety Canopy system will be activated, regardless of which seats are occupied.

In certain rollover events, the Safety Canopy on both sides of the vehicle will be inflated, regardless of which seats are occupied. Page Seating and Safety Restraints Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system.

Refer to the Air bag readiness section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is not required. Page To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably.

Generally this is when they weigh about 80 lbs about 8 to 12 years old. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable of providing tether and LATCH anchors. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together. Page Seating and Safety Restraints 5.

To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is pulled out and a click is heard. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.

Page Seating and Safety Restraints Installing child safety seats in the center front seating position Always transport children 12 years old and under in the rear seats and always properly use appropriate child restraints.

It is safer to install child safety seats in seating positions that have child seat anchors. Route the child safety seat tether strap under the head restraint outboard seats and over the back of the seat.
