WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Sable, 2009 Ford Taurus X, and 2009 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Carefully inspect the passenger air bag trim cover, canister and soft pack before assembly. If any foreign objects are found, remove them before attaching the passenger air bag trim cover to the canister. If the canister or soft pack is damaged, install a new passenger air bag module assembly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the passenger air bag module deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
- Place the passenger air bag cover on a clean work surface once it is removed from the shipping package.
- Match the number of cover windows to the number of canister hooks before attaching the passenger air bag cover to the canister.
- Match the top of the passenger air bag cover with the canister mark from the removal procedure.
- Position the canister onto the passenger air bag cover and engage the bottom hooks into the air bag cover windows.
- Push the top of the passenger air bag module cover to engage the top canister hooks.
- Inspect the passenger air bag cover windows-to-canister hooks to verify that every window has a hook installed and the sides are not tucked or folded against the air bag canister.
- Install the passenger air bag module into the vehicle. For additional information, refer to Passenger Air Bag Module - Taurus X or Passenger Air Bag Module - Taurus, Sable .
