2006 Ford Escape Owners Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
Front passenger sensing system
For airbags  to do their  job they  must inflate  with great force,  and this  force
can pose  a potentially  deadly risk to  occupants  that are  very close to  the
airbag when  it begins to  inflate. For some  occupants,  like infants  in
rear-facing child  seats, this  occurs because  they  are initially sitting  very
close to  the airbag. For  other  occupants,  this occurs  when the  occupant  is
not properly  restrained  by seat  belts or  child safety seats  and  they move
forward during  pre-crash  braking. The  most effective way to  reduce  the
risk of unnecessary  injuries  is to make  sure all occupants  are  properly
restrained.  Accident  statistics  suggest that  children  are much  safer when
properly  restrained  in the  rear seating  positions than  in the  front.
Air bags  can kill or  injure a  child in  a child seat.  NEVER  place  a
rear-facing  child seat  in front  of an  active air  bag. If you  must
use  a forward-facing  child seat  in  the front  seat,  move the  seat  all the
way back.
Always transport   children  12 years  old and  under  in the  back
seat  and always  properly  use appropriate   child  restraints.
The front  passenger   sensing  system can  automatically  turn  off the
passenger  front  airbag.  The system  is  designed  to help  protect  small
(
child size)  occupants   from airbag  deployments  when  they  are
improperly  seated  or  restrained  in  the front  passenger   seat contrary   to
proper  child-seating  or  restraint  usage  recommendations.   Even  with this
technology,  parents  are  STRONGLY encouraged   to always  properly
restrain  children  in  the rear  seat.  The  sensor  also turns  off the  passenger
front  airbag and  passenger  seat-mounted   side  airbag  (if equipped)   when
the  passenger  seat  is empty.
When the  front  passenger  seat  is occupied  and  the  sensing  system  has
turned  off the  passenger’s  frontal  airbag, the  “pass  airbag off” indicator
will light and  stay  lit to remind  you  that  the front  passenger   frontal
airbag  is off. See Fr ont  pa ssen ger sen sin g system  in  the airbags  section
of this  chapter.
Front safety belt usage sensors
The front  safety  belt  usage sensors  detect   whether  or not  the  driver  and
front  outboard  passenger  safety  belts  are  fastened.  This information
allows your  Personal  Safety  Systemto  tailor the  airbag  deployment  and
safety  belt pretensioner   activation  depending   upon safety  belt  usage.
Refer to  Safety  restr ain ts  section  in this  chapter.
