FORD 2013 F-150 v.3 - Manual (Page 60)

• Restart your vehicle and have the person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger’s frontal airbag.
• If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.

Note: When the passenger airbag 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’s very
important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated occupant sits
upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered 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.
To know if 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 Customer
Assistance section of this owner’s manual.
