Restraint System• If the side airbag sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor isdisassembled, the airbags and pre-tensioner seat belts mayaccidentally operate (deploy) and cause injury, or the system may failto operate normally and cause a serious accident. Do not subject theside airbag sensor to shock or disassemble the sensor.• Because a sensor is built into the side airbag sensor, once the airbagsand pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to acollision or other causes, the side airbag sensor must be replaced witha new one even if the used one does not have any visible externaldamage or deformation. If the side airbag sensor is reused, the airbagsand pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, whichcould result in a serious accident. Always replace the side airbagsensor with a new one. The side airbag sensor cannot be benchcheckedor self-checked.Pre-tensioner seat belt inspection• Inspecting a pre-tensioner seat belt using a tester can operate (deploy)the pre-tensioner seat belt, which may cause serious injury. Do not usea tester to inspect a pre-tensioner seat belt. Always use the on-boarddiagnostic function to diagnose the pre-tensioner seat belt formalfunctions.NOT GOODCopyright © 2009 <strong>Ford</strong> Motor Company of Southern Africa. 45
