Ford 2001 Windstar - AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Replacing the front passenger and second row bench seat belt
assemblies after a collision
All front passenger and second row bench seat belt assemblies adjacent
to a sliding door have special energy management retractors designed to
further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
These retractors should be replaced if they were used in any accident in
which the front airbags deploy. If the safety belt assemblies are not
replaced, there may be increased risk of injury in the event of a
subsequent collision.
Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt
assembly under the above conditions could result in severe
personal injuries in the event of a collision.
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module
which records information about the air bag and sensor systems. In the
event of a collision this module may save information related to the
collision including information about the air bag system and impact
severity. This information will assist Ford in the servicing of your vehicle
and may help Ford better understand real world collisions and further
improve the safety of future vehicles.
The air bag supplemental restraint system is designed to work in
conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front
outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term
“supplemental restraint” means the air bags are intended as a
supplement to the safety belts. Air bags alone cannot protect as well as
