child restraint LINCOLN MKZ 2013 Owner's Manual

•
When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front
passenger frontal airbag (may
inflate), the passenger airbag
status indicator will illuminate the
ON lamp and remain illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger ’s seat, but the airbag
off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person isn ’t sitting properly
in the seat. If this happens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat back in
the full upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the
seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person ’s legs comfortably
extended. •
Restart the 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 OFF lamp remains
lit even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the
rear seat. Passenger Airbag

Supplementary Restraints System

WARNINGS
To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the side curtain
airbag. If the side curtain airbags have
deployed, the side curtain
airbags will not function again. The
side curtain airbags (including the A,
B and C pillar trim and headliner)
must be inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer. If the side curtain
airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired
area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision. The side curtain airbags will deploy
during significant side collisions. The
side curtain airbags are mounted to
the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind
the headliner, above each row of
seats. In certain lateral collisions, the
side curtain airbags on the impacted
side of the vehicle will be activated.
The side curtain airbags are designed
to inflate between the side window
area and occupants to further
enhance protection provided in side
impact collisions.
The system consists of the following: •
Side curtain airbags fitted above
the trim panels over the front and
rear side windows identified by a
label or wording on the headliner
or roof-pillar trim.
• A flexible headliner which opens
above the side doors to allow side
air curtain deployment. Crash sensors and
monitoring system with
readiness indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
back seats. The side curtain airbags
will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed
child or booster seat because it is
designed to inflate downward from
the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.
The design and development of the
side curtain airbags 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 curtain airbags.
