If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the seat all the way back. 151 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints How does the safety belt pretensioner and airbag supplemental restraint system work?The safety belt pretensioner and airbag SRS are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates pretensioner activation and airbag inflation. The fact that the airbags did not activate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Front airbags are designed to activate in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration. The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e. g. , baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic. While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries, contact with a deploying airbag may also cause abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss. Because airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the airbag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control. 152 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. The SRS consists of: · driver and passenger airbag modules (which include the inflators and airbags) · seat-mounted side airbags (if equipped). Refer to Seat-mounted side airbag system later in this chapter · safety belt pretensioners · one or more impact and safing sensors · a readiness light and tone · and the electrical wiring which connects the components · Side curtain airbag system. Refer to Safety Canopy system later in this chapter. · Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Front passenger sensing system. [. . . ] Short drivebelt is on first pulley groove closest to engine. Long drivebelt is on second pulley groove farthest from engine. 302 2007 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Maintenance and Specifications IDENTIFYING YOUR VEHICLE Safety Compliance Certification Label The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Regulations require that a Safety Compliance Certification Label be affixed to a vehicle and prescribe where the Safety Compliance Certification Label may be located. The Safety Compliance Certification Label is located on the structure (B-Pillar) by the trailing edge of the driver's door or the edge of the driver's door. Vehicle identification number (VIN) The vehicle identification number is located on the driver side instrument panel.
