FORD 2005 F-150 v.3 - Manual (Page 124)

air bags plus safety belts in impacts for which the air bags are designed
to deploy, and air bags do not offer any protection in crashes for which
they do not deploy.
The air bag supplemental restraint system consists of:
• driver and passenger dual stage air bag modules (which include the
inflators and air bags).
• one or more impact and safing sensors.
• the same indicator light, RCM (restraints control module) and
diagnostic unit used for the Personal safety system.
• Front passenger sensing system
• Passenger air bag off indicator light.
The air bag supplemental restraints are an integral part of the Personal
Safety System. They are designed to be deployed in cases where the
Personal Safety System has determined the occupant conditions and
crash severity are appropriate to activate these devices. Refer to the
Personal Safety System section in this chapter.
Important SRS precautions
All occupants of the vehicle,
including the driver, should
always properly wear their safety
belts, even when an air bag (SRS)
is provided.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back
seat if your vehicle has a back seat. Rear facing infant seats
should NEVER be placed in the front seats. This is because the back of
the infant seat is too close to the inflating air bag and the risk of a fatal
injury to the infant when the air bag inflates is substantial.
