Passenger Airbag; Front Passenger Sensing System - Ford Mustang 2017 Owner's Manual

Supplementary Restraints System

PASSENGER AIRBAG

E151127
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.

WARNINGS
Even with Advanced Restraints
Systems, children 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a
rear seating position. Failure to follow this
could seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it.

WARNINGS
Sitting improperly out of position or
with the seatback reclined too far
can take off weight from the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the front
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always
sit upright against your seatback, with your
feet on the floor.
To reduce the risk of possible serious
injury: Do not stow objects in
seatback map pocket or hang
objects off seatback if a child is in the front
passenger seat. Do not place objects
underneath the front passenger seat or
between the seat and the center console.
Check the passenger airbag off indicator
lamp for proper airbag status. Failure to
follow these instructions may interfere with
the front passenger sensing system.
Any alteration or modification to the
front passenger seat may affect the
performance of the front passenger
sensing system.
This system works with sensors that are
part of the front passenger seat and
seatbelt to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not.
