Air bag maintenance and servicing No maintenance of the system is required unless: · A warning light or warning tone indicates a fault or the air bags have been inflated. If the air bag system is not serviced when a warning is given, the air bags may not function properly in the event of a collision or may deploy unexpectedly. The air bag systems fitted to your vehicle do not require regular maintenance. The air bags will activate only once if the air bags are inflated, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION AGAIN AND MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. If the air bags are not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the air bag system; tampering could cause activation of the system and increase the risk of personal injury. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of the air bag system. If the passenger air bag cover shows signs of having been removed, the vehicle should be towed to the nearest Authorized Ford Dealer for repair. If the vehicle must be driven then on no account should there be an occupant in the front passenger seat. Safety Canopy system (if equipped) Do not block, obstruct or cover the deployment path of the inflatable curtain because it may prevent proper deployment and increase your risk of injury. For example, do not lean your head on the door. 124 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 each side of the vehicle). · The headliner will flex to open above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy deployment. · The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. · Two side crash sensors mounted at the base of the B-pillar (one on each side). · Two side crash sensors located at the c-pillar behind the rear doors (one on each side). The Safety Canopy system, in combination with seat belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision or roll over event. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the second or third row seats (if equipped).
