Front seat armrest
The front seat armrest has a locking
pin which prevents the armrest from
folding down during a collision. If
the locking pin has engaged because
of a substantial jolt, but no collision
has occurred, you can disengage the
locking pin by first moving the
armrest forward until it stops to
align the hole with the locking pin,
then by pushing a small tool
through the access hole provided.
WARNING:Ford Motor Company recommends that all front
seat armrests should be inspected by an authorized dealer after
any collision to verify that the locking pin feature has not been
damaged. The front seat armrest must be replaced if either damage or
improper operation is found. Failure to replace a damaged front seat
armrest may result in the armrest falling suddenly during a collision,
which could lead to serious injury.
To gain access to the storage
compartment in your armrest, press
