Front Passenger Sensing System - Ford EDGE Owner's Manual

48 Supplementary Restraints System

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM

WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back 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 seat back, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible serious injury:
Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket or hang objects off
seat back 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 indicator lamp for proper airbag status.
Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the passenger
seat sensing system.
WARNING: Any alteration or modification to the front passenger
seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing
system which could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.
This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's
seat and safety belt to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant
and determine if the front passenger's frontal airbag should be enabled
(may inflate) or not.
