Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System - Ford 1996 Windstar Manual

Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS)
The driver and right front passenger air bags are Supplemental
Restraint Systems (SRS), provided at these seating positions in
addition to the lap/shoulder belt, and are designed to
supplement the protection provided to properly belted
occupants in moderate to severe frontal collisions. The
supplemental air bag system does not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The Importance of Wearing Safety Belts
Safety belts must be worn by all vehicle occupants to be
properly restrained and help reduce the risk of injury in
a collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should
always wear their safety belts, whether or not an airbag
Supplemental Restraint System is also provided at their
seating position. Failure to do so may increase the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of a collision.
There are four very important reasons to use safety belts even
with an air bag system. Use your safety belts to:
help keep you in the proper position (away from the air bag)
when it inflates
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side or rear impact
collisions, because an air bag is not designed to inflate in
such situations
