Passive Restraint System

The passive air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat occupants IN ADDITION TO that provided by the three point safety belt system.
^ Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantages of the supplemental air bag.
^ FORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF SAFETY BELT SYSTEMS FOR ALL VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

The SRS consists of two basic subsystems:
^ driver air bag module and passenger air bag module
^ electrical system, including air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module.

The subsystem components are located as follows:
^ driver air bag module - steering wheel.
^ passenger air bag module-above glove compartment.
^ air bag sliding contact - behind steering wheel
^ electronic crash sensor (ECS) module - on the center tunnel under instrument panel.
