FORD 2009 Explorer Sport Trac v.1 - Manual (Page 174)

WARNING: If the Safety
Canopy
௡ system has
deployed, the Safety Canopy
௡
will not function again. The
Safety Canopy
௡ system
(including the A, B and C
pillar trim) must be inspected
and serviced by an authorized
dealer. If the Safety Canopy
௡ is
not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Airbag readiness
section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:
• The readiness light (same light as for front airbag system) will either
flash or stay lit.
• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible. Unless serviced, the system may
not function properly in the event of a collision or rollover event.
S.O.S. Post Crash Alert
The S.O.S Post Crash Alert automatically flashes the turn signal lamps
and sounds the horn three times at four second intervals in the event of
a serious impact that deploys an airbag (front, side, side curtain or
Safety Canopy
௡) or the safety belt pretensioners.
