Important SRS precautions The SRS is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries. Air bags DO NOT inflate slowly; there is a risk of injury from a deploying air bag. All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver , should always properly wear their safety belts, eve[...]

Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the steering column, its adaptive module, or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer . T o properly position yourself away from the air bag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably . • Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the[...]

Children and air bags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision. Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NE[...]

The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.g., baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the air bag. Small [...]

If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately . If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. If the safety belt pretensioners deploy in an accident, they will not function again ( belt will not extract or retract) and must be replaced immedia[...]

When the front passenger seat is occupied and the sensing system has turned off the passenger ’ s frontal airbag, the ⬙ passenger airbag off ⬙ or ⬙ pass airbag off ⬙ indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is off.

Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , which could increase the risk of serious injury . T o improve the fit of [...]

T ypes of booster seats There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats: • Those that are backless. If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt. If a seating position has a low seat back and no head restraint, a backless booster seat may place your child ’ s head (top of ear level)[...]

Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. Never put the shoulder belt under a child ’ s arm or behind the back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision. Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around [...]

Make sure the tongue is latched securely by pulling on it. 5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull[...]

8. Allow the safety belt to retract to remove any slack in the belt. 9. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. T o check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward. There should be no more than one inch of movement for p[...]

2. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat. For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. 3.
