In case there is a problem with the
front passenger sensing system, the
airbag readiness lamp in the
instrument cluster will stay lit.

If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following:

The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that
may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering
with the seat.

If objects are lodged and/or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take
the following steps to remove the obstruction:

•

Pull the vehicle over.

•

Turn the vehicle off.

•

Driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.

•

Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).

•

Restart the vehicle.

•

Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is
no longer illuminated

•

If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may/not
be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.

DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.

If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Ford Customer
Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the

Customer

Assistance

section of this owner’s guide.

WARNING:

Any alteration/modification to the front passenger

seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing

system.

Seat-mounted side airbag system

WARNING:

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or

near the airbag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front

seats or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
