2006 Ford Escape Owners Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
Front safety belt pretensioners
The safety  belt  pretensioners   at the  front  outboard  seating  positions  are
designed  to tighten   the safety  belts  firmly against  the  occupant’s  body
during  frontal  collisions, and  in side  collisions and  rollovers  when the
vehicle  is equipped  with  the optional  Safety  Canopysystem.  This
maximizes  the effectiveness   of the  safety  belts. In  frontal collisions,  the
safety  belt pretensioners   can  be activated   alone or,  if the collision  is of
sufficient  severity,  together  with the  front  airbags.
Front safety belt energy management  retractors
The front  outboard   safety belt  energy  management  retractors   allow
webbing  to be pulled  out  of the  retractor  in  a gradual  and  controlled
manner  in response   to the  occupant’s  forward  momentum.  This helps
reduce  the  risk of force-related   injuries  to the  occupant’s  chest  by
limiting the  load  on the  occupant.  Refer  to En ergy  managemen   t featu re
section  in this  chapter.
Determining if the Personal Safety  Systemி is operational
The Personal   Safety System௢  uses  a warning  light in  the instrument
cluster  or a  back-up  tone to  indicate  the  condition  of the  system.  Refer
to the  Warnin  g  light  section  in the  Instr umen t  Cluster   chapter.
Routine  maintenance   of the Personal   Safety System௢  is not  required.
The Restraints   control  module  (RCM)  monitors  its own internal   circuits
and  the circuits  for  the airbag  supplemental   restraints,  crash  sensor(  s),
safety  belt pretensioners,   front  safety  belt  buckle sensors,  driver  seat
position  sensor,  and passenger   occupant  classification  sensor.  In addition,
the  RCM also monitors  the  restraints  warning  light  in the  instrument
cluster.  A difficulty with  the  system  is indicated  by one  or more  of the
following.
The warning  light  will either  flash or  stay lit.
The warning  light  will not illuminate  immediately  after  ignition  is
turned  on.
A series  of five beeps  will be  heard.  The tone  pattern   will repeat
periodically  until the  problem  and  warning  light are  repaired.
If any of  these  things happen,   even intermittently,   have  the Personal
Safety  Systemserviced  at  an authorized   dealer  immediately.  Unless
serviced,  the  system  may not  function  properly  in the  event  of a
collision.
