Seating and Safety Restraints SAFETY RESTRAINTS Personal Safety Systemி The Personal Safety System௢ provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze different occupant classifications and conditions and crash severity before activating the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations. Your vehicle's Personal Safety System௢ consists of: • Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints. • Front outboard safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors, and safety belt usage sensors. • Driver's seat position sensor. • Front crash severity sensor. • Front passenger sensing system • Passenger Airbag Off indicator light. • Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors. • Restraint system warning light and back-up tone. • The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position sensor, and indicator lights. How does the Personal Safety Systemி work? The Personal Safety System௢ can adapt the deployment strategy of your vehicle's safety devices according to crash severity and occupant classification and conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides information to the Restraints Control Module (RCM). During a crash, the RCM activates the safety belt pretensioners and/or either none, one, or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints based on crash severity and occupant classification and conditions. The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the Personal Safety System௢ determined the accident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.) were not appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags and pretensioners are designed to activate only in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers, side-impacts, or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration. 128 2007 Mark LT (mlt) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Personal Safety System

The Personal Safety System

provides an improved overall level of

frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help

further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to

analyze different occupant classifications and conditions and crash

severity before activating the appropriate safety devices to help better

protect a range of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations.

Your vehicle’s Personal Safety System

consists of:

•

Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints.

•

Front outboard safety belts with pretensioners, energy management

retractors, and safety belt usage sensors.

•

Driver’s seat position sensor.

•

Front crash severity sensor.

•

Front passenger sensing system

•

Passenger Airbag Off indicator light.

•

Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors.

•

Restraint system warning light and back-up tone.

•

The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt

pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position

sensor, and indicator lights.

How does the Personal Safety System

work?

The Personal Safety System

can adapt the deployment strategy of your

vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and occupant

classification and conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors

provides information to the Restraints Control Module (RCM). During a

crash, the RCM activates the safety belt pretensioners and/or either

none, one, or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints

based on crash severity and occupant classification and conditions.

The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front

seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with

the system. Rather, it means the Personal Safety System

determined

the accident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.) were not

appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags and

pretensioners are designed to activate only in frontal and near-frontal

collisions, not rollovers, side-impacts, or rear-impacts unless the collision

causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
