warning FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR 2021 Owner's Guide

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. 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 either flashes or
stays lit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The
tone pattern repeats periodically until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired. •
The readiness light will not illuminate
immediately after you switch the
ignition on.
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 seatbelt pretensioners and the airbag
supplemental restraint system are
designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains frontal or sideways deceleration
sufficient to cause the restraints control
module to deploy a safety device or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is
detected by the rollover sensor. The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners
or 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 seatbelt
pretensioners 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
and in rollovers. Side airbags may
activate in other types of crashes if the
vehicle experiences sufficient sideways
motion or deformation.
• The knee airbag(s) may deploy based
on crash severity and occupant
conditions.
• 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.
Airbags and Police Equipment WARNING: Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the
airbag cover, on the side of the front or
rear seatbacks, or in 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.

WARNING: Keep the areas in front
of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Dual driver and passenger airbags, side
airbags and knee airbags affect the way
police equipment can be mounted in police
vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact
with an airbag, once it has deployed, must
not damage the airbag or alter its
deployment path.
Once the airbag has fully deployed, any
peripheral equipment surfaces that could
come into contact with the airbag (such
as when the airbag deflates with the
loading of an occupant) must not damage
the airbag or alter its deployment path.
Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon airbag material and
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag.
Some approximate dimensions for airbags,
at full inflation, are provided. These
dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent free form deployments without
the loading of occupants. The shaded
areas in Figures 8 through 10 represent
available police equipment mounting
zones. These zones are shown for police
vehicles with standard bucket seats. The
zone dimensions provided in Figures 8
through 10 are approximate and will vary
with the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone
dimensions are approximate due to
different airbag deployment
characteristics.
Do not mount equipment between the side
of the front seat and the door trim that will
block deployment of the side airbag. Do not mount equipment between the
seats and the body side as shown in Figure
7 that would prevent the side curtain airbag
from achieving occupant coverage.
