Safety Restraints For Children; Disposal Of Airbags And Airbag Equipped Vehicles - Ford Focus 2006 Owner's Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that
something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were
not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed
to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or
near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral
deceleration.
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after inflation.
If the side airbag has
deployed, the airbag will
not function again. The side
airbag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and
serviced by an authorized
dealer. If the airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles

For disposal of airbags or airbag equipped vehicles, see your authorized
dealer . Airbags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed
in front of an active passenger airbag.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back
seat and always use appropriate child restraints.
Accident statistics indicate that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats.
