Supplementary Restraints System

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.
Do not fit a non-Ford approved bull
bar to your vehicle as this may
interfere with the operation of the
restraint system, including the air bag
deployment, and could result in injury to
yourself and others. Fitment of a bull bar
may also void the vehicle's compliance
with Australian Design Rules.
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Do not fit any accessories on the
front of the vehicle within 150 mm of
the centre line of the vehicle as this
may interfere with the operation of the
front crash sensor.
Normal air flow to the radiator must
not be affected when fog lamps,
driving lamps or similiar equipment
is fitted to the vehicle. Serious mechanical
damage will occur.
Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold
you in a position that allows the airbag to
achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting
in the Correct Position (page 61). Failure
to adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts must be carried out by
an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
In the event of a crash, hard objects could
cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth.
