FORD 2002 Focus v.2 - Manual (Page 160)

Seating and Safety Restraints
160
If the side air bag has
deployed, the air bag will
not function again. The side
air bag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and
serviced by a qualified
technician in accordance with
the vehicle service manual. If
the air bag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
Determining if the system is
operational
The supplemental restraints system
(SRS) uses a readiness light in the
instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the
system. Refer to the Air bag
readiness section in the
Instrument Cluster chapter.
Routine maintenance of the air bag
is not required.
A difficulty with the system is
indicated by one or more of the
following:
• The readiness light will either
flash or stay lit.
• The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after
ignition is turned on.
