WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
Never probe the connectors on the safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety canopy deployment, which can result in personal
injury.
-
The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when
handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so
could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Seat side air bag modules or seat side air bag bridge resistors are available on Escape Hybrid, Mariner and late build Escape vehicles only.
