Safety Restraints

[SR12920(ALL)05/95]

The air bag system uses a readiness light and a tone to indicate
the condition of the system. The readiness light is in the
instrument cluster. When you turn the ignition to the ON
position, this light will illuminate for approximately six (6)
seconds and then turn off. This indicates that the system is
operating normally. NOTE: Maintenance of the air bag system is
not required.

A problem with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:

*

[SR12940(ALL)05/95]

the readiness light will either flash or stay lit,

*

[SR12950(ALL)05/95]

or it will not light immediately after ignition is turned on,

% [SR12960(ALL)05/95]

a group of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will
repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired.

[SR12970(ALL)05/95]

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the air
bag system serviced at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer
immediately.

Disposal of supplemental air bag equipped vehicles

[SR13150(ALL)02/95]

Safety Restraints for Children

*

[SR13800(ALL)02/95]

In the U.S. and Canada, you are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle —
this generally includes children who are four years old or
younger and who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or less — you must
put them in safety seats that are made specially for children.
Safety belts alone do not provide maximum protection for these
children. Check your local and state laws for specific
requirements.
