Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system
components:
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components must be
replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a
trained expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Ford Repairer can fully
evaluate these systems to see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving
with an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the
necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could result in
serious injury or death.
Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front instrument panel, the steering
wheel or parts containing air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain
essential air bag components. The air bag could accidentally activate and cause
serious injuries. Always have an Authorised Ford Repairer remove these parts.
Dispose of the air bag properly:
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely
dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury can result. Ask an
Authorised Ford Repairer how to safely dispose of an air bag or how to scrap an air
bag equipped vehicle.
NOTE
Should you sell your Ford, we urge you to tell the new owner of its supplementary
restraint systems and that familiarization with all instructions about them, from the
Owner's Manual, is important.
