KNOWING
YOUR CAR
SAFETY
Do not rest your head,
arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows and on
the window bag area to avoid
injuries during inflation.
Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The best protection
in the event of side crash is achieved
maintaining a correct position
on the seat. This allows the correct
deployment of the window bag.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car
is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such
as for example violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of
the car in big holes or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
will be released when the air bags are
deployed. The dust is harmless and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed
bag and the interior of the car may be
covered with dusty residue. This dust
can irritate skin and eyes. Wash with
mild soap and water in the event
of exposure.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur
in which any of the safety devices are
activated, take the vehicle to a Ford
Dealership to have the activated devices
replaced and to have the whole system
checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the air bags must
be carried out only by a Dealership.
If the car changes ownership, the new
owner must be informed of the method
of using air bags and the above warnings
and also be given this “Owner
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
air bags and side bags are deployed
according to different logics on the basis
of the type of collision. Non-deployment
of one of the devices does not necessarily
indicate a system malfunction.
