Ford Explorer: Supplementary Restraints System
This 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...
WARNING: Airbags do not inflate slowly or gently, and the risk of injury
from a deploying airbag is the greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module...
Other information:
WARNING: Turning off trailer sway control increases the risk of loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death. Ford does not recommend disabling this
feature except in situations where speed reduction may be detrimental (such as hill
climbing), the driver has significant trailer towing experience, and can control
trailer sway and maintain safe operation...
