    A passenger takes their weight off of
    the seat for a period of time.
    • If there is a problem with the airbag
    system or the passenger sensing
    system.
    Even with this technology, parents are
    strongly encouraged to always properly
    restrain children in the rear seat.
    • When the front passenger sensing
    system disables (will not inflate) the
    front passenger frontal airbag, the
    passenger airbag status indicator will
    illuminate the OFF lamp and stay lit to
    remind you that the front passenger
    frontal airbag is disabled.
    • If the child restraint has been installed
    and the passenger airbag status
    indicator illuminates the ON lamp, then
    turn your vehicle off, remove the child
    restraint from your vehicle and reinstall
    the restraint following the child
    restraint manufacturer's instructions.
    The front passenger sensing system works
    with sensors that are part of the front
    passenger seat and safety belt. The
    sensors are designed to detect the
    presence of a properly seated occupant
    and determine if the front passenger
    frontal airbag should be enabled.
    • When the front passenger sensing
    system enables the front passenger
    frontal airbag (may inflate), the
    passenger airbag status indicator will
    illuminate the ON lamp and remain
    illuminated. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
    passenger seat, but the passenger airbag
    status indicator OFF lamp is lit, it is
    possible that the person is not sitting
    properly in the seat. If this happens:
    •
    Turn your vehicle off and ask the
    person to place the seatback in the full
    upright position.
    • Have the person sit upright in the seat,
    centered on the seat cushion, with the
    person's legs comfortably extended.
    • Restart your vehicle and have the
    person remain in this position for about
    two minutes. This will allow the system
    to detect that person and enable the
    passenger's frontal airbag.
    • If the indicator OFF lamp remains lit
    even after this, you should advise the
    person to ride in the rear seat.
    Note: When the passenger airbag status
    indicator OFF lamp is illuminated, the
    passenger side airbag (seat mounted) may
    be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag
    deployment issues.
    After all occupants have adjusted their
    seats and put on safety belts, it is very
    important that they continue to sit
    properly. A properly seated occupant sits
    upright, leaning against the seatback, and
    centered on the seat cushion, with their
    feet comfortably extended on the floor.
    Sitting improperly can increase the chance
    of injury in a crash event. For example, if
    an occupant slouches, lies down, turns
    sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
    sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
    chance of injury during a crash is greatly
    increased.
    If you think that the state of the passenger
    airbag status indicator lamp is incorrect,
    check for the following:
    • Objects lodged underneath the seat.
    • Objects between the seat cushion and
    the center console.
    48
    F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Supplementary Restraints System  
    						
    							•
    Objects hanging off the seatback.
    • Objects stowed in the seatback map
    pocket.
    • Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
    • Cargo interference with the seat
    • Other passengers pushing or pulling on
    the seat.
    • Rear passenger feet and knees resting
    or pushing on the seat.
    The conditions listed above may cause the
    weight of a properly seated occupant to
    be incorrectly interpreted by the front
    passenger sensing system. The person in
    the front passenger seat may appear
    heavier or lighter due to the conditions
    described in the previous list. Make sure the front passenger
    sensing system is operating
    properly.  See Crash Sensors
    and Airbag Indicator (page 51).
    If the airbag readiness light is lit, do the
    following:
    The driver and adult passengers should
    check for objects lodged underneath the
    front passenger seat or cargo interfering
    with the seat.
    If objects are lodged or cargo is interfering
    with the seat, please take the following
    steps to remove the obstruction:
    • Pull your vehicle over.
    • Turn your vehicle off.
    • Driver or adult passengers should
    check for any objects lodged
    underneath the front passenger seat
    or cargo interfering with the seat.
    • Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
    • Restart your vehicle. •
    Wait at least two minutes and verify
    that the airbag readiness light in the
    instrument cluster is no longer
    illuminated.
    • If the airbag readiness light in the
    instrument cluster remains illuminated,
    this may or may not be a problem due
    to the front passenger sensing system.
    Do not attempt to repair or service the
    system. Take your vehicle immediately to
    an authorized dealer.
    If it is necessary to modify an advanced
    front airbag system to accommodate a
    person with disabilities, contact the Ford
    Customer Relationship Center.
    SIDE AIRBAGS WARNINGS
    Do not place objects or mount
    equipment on or near the airbag
    cover, on the side of the seatbacks
    (of the front seats), or in front seat areas
    that may come into contact with a
    deploying airbag. Failure to follow these
    instructions may increase the risk of
    personal injury in the event of a crash. Do not use accessory seat covers.
    The use of accessory seat covers
    may prevent the deployment of the
    side airbags and increase the risk of injury
    in an accident. Do not lean your head on the door.
    The side airbag could injure you as it
    deploys from the side of the
    seatback. Do not attempt to service, repair, or
    modify the airbag, its fuses or the
    seat cover on a seat containing an
    airbag as you could be seriously injured or
    killed. Contact your authorized dealer as
    soon as possible.

    							WARNINGS
    If the side airbag has deployed, the
    airbag will not function again. The
    side airbag system (including the
    seat) must be inspected and serviced by
    an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not
    replaced, the unrepaired area will increase
    the risk of injury in a crash. The side airbags are located on the
    outboard side of the seatbacks of the front
    seats. In certain sideways crashes, the
    airbag on the side affected by the crash
    will be inflated. The airbag was designed
    to inflate between the door panel and
    occupant to further enhance the protection
    provided occupants in side impact crashes.
    The system consists of the following:
    •
    A label or embossed side panel
    indicating that side airbags are fitted
    to your vehicle.
    • Side airbags located inside the driver
    and front passenger seatbacks.
    • Front passenger sensing system. •
    Crash sensors and monitoring system
    with readiness indicator.  See Crash
    Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page
    51
    ). Note:
    The passenger sensing system will
    deactivate the passenger seat-mounted
    side airbag if it detects an empty passenger
    seat.
    The design and development of the side
    airbag system included recommended
    testing procedures that were developed
    by a group of automotive safety experts
    known as the Side Airbag Technical
    Working Group. These recommended
    testing procedures help reduce the risk of
    injuries related to the deployment of side
    airbags.
    SAFETY CANOPY™ WARNINGS
    Do not place objects or mount
    equipment on or near the headliner
    at the siderail that may come into
    contact with a deploying curtain airbag.
    Failure to follow these instructions may
    increase the risk of personal injury in the
    event of a crash. Do not lean your head on the door.
    The curtain airbag could injure you
    as it deploys from the headliner.
    Do not attempt to service, repair, or
    modify the curtain airbag
    supplemental restraint system, its
    fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the
    headliner on a vehicle containing curtain
    airbags as you could be seriously injured
    or killed. Contact your authorized dealer
    as soon as possible. All occupants of your vehicle,
    including the driver, should always
    properly wear their seatbelts, even
    when an airbag supplemental restraint
    system is provided. Failure to properly wear
    your seatbelt could seriously increase the
    risk of injury or death. To reduce risk of injury, do not
    obstruct or place objects in the
    deployment path of the airbag.

    							WARNINGS
    If the curtain airbags have deployed,
    the curtain airbags will not function
    again. The curtain airbags (including
    the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner)
    must be inspected and serviced as soon
    as possible. If the curtain airbag is not
    replaced, the unrepaired area will increase
    the risk of injury in a crash. The Safety Canopy deploys during
    significant side crashes or when a certain
    likelihood of a rollover event is detected
    by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
    is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet
    metal, behind the headliner, above each
    row of seats. In certain sideways crashes
    or rollover events, the Safety Canopy will
    be activated, regardless of which seats are
    occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed
    to inflate between the side window area
    and occupants to further enhance
    protection provided in side impact crashes
    and rollover events. The system consists of the following:
    •
    Safety Canopy curtain airbags located
    above the trim panels over the front
    and rear side windows identified by a
    label or wording on the headliner or
    roof-pillar trim.
    • A flexible headliner which opens above
    the side doors to allow air curtain
    deployment · Crash sensors and monitoring
    system with a readiness
    indicator.  See Crash Sensors
    and Airbag Indicator (page 51).
    Properly restrain children 12 years old and
    under in the rear seats. The Safety Canopy
    will not interfere with children restrained
    using a properly installed child or booster
    seat because it is designed to inflate
    downward from the headliner above the
    doors along the side window opening.
    The design and development of the Safety
    Canopy included recommended testing
    procedures that were developed by a
    group of automotive safety experts known
    as the Side Airbag Technical Working
    Group. These recommended testing
    procedures help reduce the risk of injuries
    related to the deployment of side airbags
    (including the Safety Canopy).
    CRASH SENSORS AND
    AIRBAG INDICATOR WARNING
    Modifying or adding equipment to
    the front end of the vehicle (including
    frame, bumper, front end body
    structure and tow hooks) may affect the
    performance of the airbag system,
    increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify
    the front end of the vehicle. 51
    F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Supplementary Restraints SystemE75004        
    						
    							Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
    occupant sensors which provide
    information to the restraints control
    module which deploys (activates) the
    front safety belt pretensioners, optional
    rear inflatable safety belts, driver airbag,
    passenger airbag, seat mounted side
    airbags, and the Safety Canopy®. Based
    on the type of crash (frontal impact, side
    impact or rollover), the restraints control
    module will deploy the appropriate safety
    devices.
    The restraints control module also
    monitors the readiness of the above safety
    devices plus the crash and occupant
    sensors. The readiness of the safety
    system is indicated by a warning indicator
    light in the instrument cluster or by a
    backup tone if the warning light is not
    working.  See Instrument Cluster (page
    102).  Routine maintenance of the airbag is
    not required.
    A difficulty with the system is indicated by
    one or more of the following: The readiness light will not
    illuminate immediately after the
    ignition is turned on.
    • The readiness light will either flash or
    stay lit.
    • A series of five beeps will be heard. The
    tone pattern will repeat periodically
    until the problem, the light or both are
    repaired.
    If any of these things happen, even
    intermittently, have the supplemental
    restraint system serviced at an authorized
    dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the
    system may not function properly in the
    event of a crash. The fact that the safety belt pretensioners
    or front airbags did not activate for both
    front seat occupants in a crash does not
    mean that something is wrong with the
    system. Rather, it means the restraints
    control module determined the accident
    conditions (crash severity, belt usage)
    were not appropriate to activate these
    safety devices.
    •
    The design of the front airbags is to
    activate only in frontal and near-frontal
    crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
    rear impacts unless the crash causes
    sufficient frontal deceleration).
    • The design of the safety belt
    pretensioners and optional rear
    inflatable safety belts is to activate in
    frontal, near-frontal and side crashes,
    and in rollovers.
    • The design of the side airbags is to
    inflate in certain side impact crashes.
    Side airbags may activate in other
    types of crashes if the vehicle
    experiences sufficient sideways motion
    or deformation.
    • The design of the Safety Canopy is to
    inflate in certain side impact crashes
    or rollover events. The Safety Canopy
    may activate in other types of crashes
    if the vehicle experiences sufficient
    sideways motion or deformation, or a
    certain likelihood of rollover.
    AIRBAG DISPOSAL
    Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
    possible. Airbags must be disposed of by
    qualified personnel.
