Ford Escape: Personal Safety System™
What Is the Personal Safety System
An advanced safety system that protects
occupants in frontal crashes.
How Does the Personal Safety System Work
This system provides an improved level of
frontal crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to reduce the
risk of airbag-related injuries. The system
analyzes occupant conditions and crash
severity before activating the appropriate
safety devices. During a crash, the
restraints control module may deploy the
seatbelt pretensioners, and one or both
stages of the dual-stage airbags based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.

Towing a Trailer Limitations

designation is by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily
use all available space when
loading a vehicle or trailer.

reduced performance when
operating at high altitudes and
when heavily loaded or towing a
trailer. When driving at elevation,
