Side airbag system (if equipped)

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag
cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front

seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision.

Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat
covers may prevent the deployment of the side airbags and

increase the risk of injury in an accident.

Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag SRS, its
fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. See your

Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.

All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts
even when an airbag SRS is provided.

How does the side airbag system work?

The design and development of the side airbag system included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.
