Wait at least two minutes and verify
that the airbag readiness light is no
longer illuminated.
If the airbag readiness light remains
illuminated, this may or may not be a
problem due to the front passenger
sensing system.
Do not attempt to repair or service the
system. Take your vehicle immediately to
an authorized dealer.
If it is necessary to modify an advanced
front airbag system to accommodate a
person with disabilities, contact the Ford
GT Concierge.
SIDE AIRBAGS
WARNINGS
To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag.
Do not lean your head on the door.
The side airbag could injure you as it
deploys from the B-pillar.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or
modify the airbag supplemental
restraint systems or its fuses on a
vehicle containing air bags as you could be
seriously injured or killed. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
If the side airbag has deployed, the
airbag will not function again. The
side airbag system (including the
seat) must be inspected as soon as
possible. If the airbag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk of
injury in a crash.
The side airbags are near the B-pillar. In
certain sideways crashes, the airbag on the
side affected by the crash will be inflated.
The airbag was designed to inflate
between the door panel and occupant to
further enhance the protection provided
occupants in side impact crashes.
The system consists of the following:
An embossed side panel indicating that
side airbags are on your vehicle.
Side airbags near the B-pillar.
Front passenger sensing system.
E67017
·Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 38).
Note: The passenger sensing system will
deactivate the passenger side airbag (near
the B-pillar) if it detects an empty,
unbuckled passenger seat.
The design and development of the side
airbag system included recommended
testing procedures that were developed
by a group of automotive safety experts
known as the Side Airbag Technical
Working Group. These recommended
testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side
airbags.
