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 lights and chimes 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.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental

restraint system serviced at your dealership or by a qualified technician

immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in

the event of a collision.

Side air bag system (if equipped)

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag

cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front

seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. 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 air bags and

increase the risk of injury in an accident.

Do not lean your head on the door. The side air bag could injure

you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

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

fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an air bag. See your

Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
