Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag

supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your Ford or

Lincoln Mercury dealer.

Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle

(including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow

hooks) may affect the performance of the air bag system, increasing

the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.

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.

NEVER place a rear-facing child

seat in front of an active air bag. If

you must use a forward-facing

child seat in the front seat, move

the seat all the way back.

Determining if the system is operational

The supplemental restraint system uses a warning indicator in the

instrument cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the

system. Refer to the Warning light section in the Instrument cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

• The readiness light (same light

for front and side air bag system)

will either flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not

illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on.
