[. . . ] 159 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. 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 Airbag readiness section in the Instrument cluster chapter. Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: · The readiness light (same light as used for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit. · The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned to the RUN position. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. 160 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints Safety Canopy system Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying Safety Canopy . Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision. Do not lean your head on the door. The Safety Canopy injure you as it deploys from the headliner. could Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Safety Canopy system, its fuses, the A, B, C or D pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy . See your authorized dealer. All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Safety Canopy system is provided. To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy . 161 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints How does the Safety Canopy system work?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 Airbag Technical Working Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags (including the Safety Canopy ). The Safety Canopy system consists of the following: · An inflatable nylon curtain with a gas generator concealed behind the headliner and above the doors (one on each side of vehicle). · A headliner designed to flex open above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy deployment. · The same readiness airbag light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. · Two crash sensors mounted on the B pillar (one on each side of the vehicle). · Two crash sensors located at the C pillar behind the rear doors (one on each side of the vehicle). [. . . ] The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on the dipstick's normal operating range. 4 Automatic transmissions that require MERCON V should only use MERCON V fluid or fluid that is specified dual usage MERCON / MERCON V. Refer to scheduled maintenance information to determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. [. . . ]
