WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Anytime the safety canopy has deployed, the headliner, and all A-, B- and C-upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be replaced along with any other damaged components and hardware. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
NOTE:
If the headliner near each B-pillar has the word "AIRBAG" embossed on it, the vehicle is equipped with safety canopy modules.
The side air curtain module or safety canopy:
- is installed as an assembly.
