Note: When the passenger airbag status indicator OFF lamp is
illuminated, the passenger side airbag (seat-mounted) may be disabled to
avoid the risk of airbag deployment injuries.

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it is
very important that they continue to sit properly. Properly seated
occupants sit upright, lean against the seat back, and center themselves
on the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward,
leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of
injury during a crash is greatly increased.

Make sure the front passenger sensing system is operating
properly. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in this
chapter.

Do not attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.

If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Ford Customer
Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the Getting the
services you need
section of the Customer Assistance chapter, or see
your authorized dealer.
