Rear SAFING Sensor: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Mercury Mystique and 1996 Ford Contour. 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 SRS is involved in a collision, and 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. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . 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.
