Guest ford galaxy1997 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 does it have plastic panels on the outside of the front seats about half way up embossed with the word 'Airbag' :Dhi nikpv had a look at the seats & no they haven't :D ,but i was told that these should be standard on the car?thanx Quote
NikpV Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 if they are stardard perhaps they've changed position/type - are they curtain airbags on 02 gals ? Quote
mumof4 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 if they are stardard perhaps they've changed position/type - are they curtain airbags on 02 gals ? Mine has airbags on the side, i also have airbag warnings on the pillars,on the side of the seats where the left (passenger seat) arm would be...in fact...air bags all over the front of the car!!and in front of me!

NikNak Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I'm not 100% but i think you'll find that wherever an airbag is sited you will be informed. i.e. in the centre of the steering wheel (plus wherever else they may be), you will see the wording "Airbag", this is because it's an explosive device and must be treated with extreme caution.

Guest ford galaxy1997 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 hi thanx all the repliesbut have found out today that my car only has the 2 airbags fitted the pass & drivers no side bags :blink: it tells u on the front windscreen of the car were the chaisis numbers are,but i thought that the side airbags were standard on the 02 onwardsthanx again Quote
NikpV Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 must depend on trim level we've got a 01 ghia with side airbags did the dealer tell you as part of his sales pitch :blink: Quote

Guest 3.5bullet Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 side impact airbags were an option on the 02 LX and Zetec, they were standard fit on the Ghia models, as to retro fitting them? possible but expensive and if you self fitted them would you trust them? Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 If you have side airbags, there will be a plastic "lump" on the outboard side-facing edge of each front seat with word "airbag" or "SRS" on it - cannot remember which. This is the easiest way of telling if your car has side airbags. Will take some photos later and try to post them - have just finished polishing my Gal, just the black bits to clean up now Quote
NikpV Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 "airbag" or "SRS" on it - cannot remember which says 'airbag' on ours Quote
