Supplemental Restraint System or its fuses. See your Ford or

Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

Children and air bags

For additional important safety

information, read all information on

safety restraints in this guide.

Children must always be properly

restrained. Accident statistics

suggest that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear

seating positions than in the front

seating position. Failure to follow

these instructions may increase the

risk of injury in a collision.

Air bags can kill or injure a

child in a child seat.

NEVER place a rear-facing child

seat in front of an active air bag. If

you must use a forward-facing

child seat in the front seat, move

the seat all the way back.

How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work?

The air bag SRS is designed to

activate when the vehicle sustains

sufficient longitudinal deceleration

sufficient to cause the sensors to

close an electrical circuit that

initiates air bag inflation.

The fact that the air bags did not

inflate in a collision does not mean

that something is wrong with the

system. Rather, it means the forces

were not of the type sufficient to

cause activation. Air bags are designed to inflate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts.
