Driver Airbag; Passenger Airbag; Knee Airbag; Side Airbags - Ford 2013 Escape Owner's Manual

Supplementary Restraints System

DRIVER AIRBAG

E74302
The airbag will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are up
to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupant, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions and
side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

PASSENGER AIRBAG

E151127
Escape/Kuga (CBS)
The passenger airbag will deploy during
significant frontal or near-frontal collisions.
The airbag will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupant, thus cushioning
forward body movement. During minor
frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions
and side collisions, the front passenger
airbag will not deploy.

KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING
Do not attempt to open the airbag
cover.
The airbag will deploy during frontal
collisions or collisions that are up to 30
degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupants, thus providing a cushion
between the driver's knees and the steering
column. During overturns, rear collisions
and side collisions, the knee airbag will not
deploy.
For item location: See At a Glance (page
9).
Note: The airbag has a lower deployment
threshold than the front airbags. During a
minor collision, it is possible that only the
knee airbag will deploy.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer.
