A seatbelt warning light andchime.
Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with readiness indicator.
The seatbelt pretensioners are designedto tighten the seatbelts when activated. Infrontal and near-frontal crashes, theseatbelt pretensioners may be activatedalone or, if the crash is of sufficient severity,together with the front airbags. In sidecrashes and rollovers, the pretensionerswill be activated when the Safety Canopyis activated.
FASTENING AND
UNFASTENING THE
SEATBELTS

WHAT IS THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM
An advanced safety system that protectsoccupants in frontal crashes.
HOW DOES THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM WORK
This system provides an improved level offrontal crash protection to front seatoccupants and is designed to reduce therisk of airbag-related injuries. The systemanalyzes occupant conditions and crashseverity before activating the appropriatesafety devices. During a crash, therestraints control module may deploy theseatbelt pretensioners, and one or bothstages of the dual-stage airbags based oncrash severity and occupant conditions.
PERSONAL SAFETY SYSTEM
COMPONENTS
•Driver and passenger dual-stage airbagsupplemental restraints.
•Front seat outermost seatbelts withpretensioners, energy managementretractors and seatbelt usage sensors.
•Driver seat position sensor.
•Front passenger sensing system.
•Passenger airbag off and on indicators.
•Front crash severity sensors.
•Restraints control module with impactand safing sensors.
•Restraint system warning light andtone.
•The electrical wiring for the airbags,crash sensors, seatbelt pretensioners,front seatbelt usage sensors, driverseat position sensor, front passengersensing system and indicator lights.

HOW DO THE FRONT AIRBAGS
WORK
The driver and front passenger airbagsdeploy during significant frontal and nearfrontal crashes.
The driver and passenger front airbagsystem consists of:
•Driver and passenger airbag modules.
•Front passenger sensing system.
•Crash sensors and monitoring systemwith readiness indicator. See CrashSensors and Airbag Indicator (page63).
The airbags are a supplemental restraintsystem and are designed to work with theseatbelts to help protect the driver andright front passenger from certain upperbody injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly;there is a risk of injury from a deployingairbag.
Note:You will hear a loud bang and see acloud of harmless powdery residue if anairbag deploys. This is normal.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidlyupon activation. After airbag deployment,it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powderyresidue or smell the burnt propellant. Thismay consist of cornstarch, talcum powder(to lubricate the bag) or sodium
compounds (for example, baking soda)that result from the combustion processthat inflates the airbag. Small amounts ofsodium hydroxide may be present whichmay irritate the skin and eyes, but none ofthe residue is toxic.
Contact with a deploying airbag may causeabrasions or swelling. Temporary hearingloss is also a possibility as a result of thenoise associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly andwith considerable force, there is the risk ofdeath or serious injuries such as fractures,facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,particularly to occupants who are notproperly restrained or are otherwise out ofposition at the time of airbag deployment.Thus, it is extremely important thatoccupants be properly restrained as faraway from the airbag module as possiblewhile maintaining vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags is notrequired.
HOW DO THE SIDE AIRBAGS
WORK
WARNING: Do not place objectsor mount equipment on or near theairbag cover, on the side of the front orrear seatbacks, or in areas that maycome into contact with a deployingairbag. Failure to follow theseinstructions may increase the risk ofpersonal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING: Accessory seat coversnot released by Ford Motor Companycould prevent the deployment of theairbags and increase the risk of injuriesin a crash.

2023 Expedition (TB8) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202207, DOMAirbagsE151127

WARNING: Do not lean your headon the door. The side airbag could injureyou as it deploys from the side of theseatback.
The side airbags are on the outermost sideof the seat backrests of the front seats. Incertain sideways crashes or rollovers, theairbags will be inflated. The airbag wasdesigned to inflate between the door paneland occupant to further enhance theprotection provided to occupants in sideimpact crashes.
The system consists of the following:
•A label or embossed side panelindicating that side airbags are fittedto your vehicle.
•Side airbags inside the driver and frontpassenger seat backrests.
•Crash sensors and monitoring systemwith readiness indicator. See CrashSensors and Airbag Indicator (page63).
HOW DO THE KNEE AIRBAGS
WORK
WARNING: Close the glove boxdoor when your vehicle is moving. Failureto follow this instruction could reducethe effectiveness of the passenger kneeairbag and increase the risk of injury in acrash.
A driver knee airbag is under or within theinstrument panel. A passenger knee airbagis within or under the glove compartment.
During a crash, the restraints controlmodule may activate the driver andpassenger knee airbags based on crashseverity and occupant conditions.
Under certain crash and occupantconditions, the front airbags and the kneeairbags may not activate together. As withfront and side airbags, it is important to beproperly seated and restrained to reducethe risk of death or serious injury.
Make sure the knee airbags areoperating properly. See CrashSensors and Airbag Indicator(page 63).
HOW DOES THE SAFETY
CANOPY™ WORK
WARNING: Do not place objectsor mount equipment on or near theheadliner at the siderail that may comeinto contact with a deploying curtainairbag. Failure to follow theseinstructions may increase the risk ofpersonal injury in the event of a crash.
57
2023 Expedition (TB8) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202207, DOMAirbagsE152533 E67017

WARNING: Do not lean your headon the door. The curtain airbag couldinjure you as it deploys from theheadliner.
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury,do not obstruct or place objects in thedeployment path of the airbag.
The Safety Canopy deploys duringsignificant side crashes or when a certainlikelihood of a rollover event is detectedby the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopyis mounted to the roof side-rail sheetmetal, behind the headliner, above eachrow of seats. In certain sideways crashesor rollover events, the Safety Canopy willbe activated, regardless of which seats areoccupied. The Safety Canopy inflatesbetween the side window area andoccupants to further enhance protectionprovided in side impact crashes androllover events.
The system consists of the following:
•Safety Canopy curtain airbags abovethe trim panels over the front and rearside windows identified by a label orwording on the headliner or roof-pillartrim.
•A flexible headliner which opens abovethe side doors to allow air curtaindeployment
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with a readinessindicator. See Crash Sensorsand Airbag Indicator (page 63).
Properly restrain children 12 years old andunder in the rear seats. The Safety Canopywill not interfere with children restrainedusing a properly installed child or boosterseat because it is designed to inflatedownward from the headliner above thedoors along the side window opening.
AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Airbags do not inflateslowly or gently, and the risk of injuryfrom a deploying airbag is the greatestclose to the trim covering the airbagmodule.
WARNING: All occupants of yourvehicle, including the driver, shouldalways properly wear their seatbelts,even when an airbag supplementalrestraint system is provided. Failure toproperly wear your seatbelt couldseriously increase the risk of injury ordeath.
