Donot attempt toservice,

repair, or modify the air bag

Supplemental Restraint System

or its fuses. See your Ford or

LincolnĆMercury dealer.

All occupants of the vehicle

including the driver should

always wear their safety belts

even when an air bag SRS is

provided.

How does the side air bag
system work?

The side air bag system consists of

the following:

An inflatable nylon bag (air bag)

with a gas generator concealed

behind the outboard bolster of the

driver and front passenger

seatbacks.

The same warning light,

electronic control and diagnostic

unit as used for the front air bags.

Two crash sensors located under

the outboard side of the front seats,

attached to the floor.
Side air bags, in combination with

seat belts, can help reduce the risk

of severe injuries in the event of a

significant side impact collision.
