lighter due to the conditions described in the list above.

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

If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following:

The driver or adult passengers should check for objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat, or cargo interfering with the seat.

If there are lodged objects or cargo is interfering with the seat, take the
following steps to remove the obstruction:
• Pull your vehicle over.
• Turn your vehicle off.
• Driver or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged

underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.

• Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
• Restart your vehicle.
• Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is

no longer illuminated.

• If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may not

be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.

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 Customer
Assistance
section of this owner’s manual.
