SAFING Sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Tracer and 1994 Ford Escort. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with air bag system is involved in a collision, where fenders or grille area have been damaged, inspect sensor mounting brackets for deformation. If damaged, system should be deactivated to ensure air bag does not deploy. Damaged sensor(s) should be replaced, whether or not air bag has been deployed. In addition, ensure body structure in area of sensor mounting is restored to its original construction.
