In order to avoid inadvertent activation of the switch, always
remove the ignition key from the front and side passenger air
bag ON/OFF switch.
Turning the front and side passenger air bags back on
The front and side passenger air bags remain OFF until you turn them
back ON.
1. Insert the ignition key and turn
the switch to ON.
2. The OFF light will briefly
illuminate when the ignition is
turned to ON. This indicates that
the passenger front and side air
bags are operational.
If the light is illuminated when the front and side passenger air
bag ON/OFF switch is in the ON position and the ignition switch
is in ON, have the front and side passenger air bag ON/OFF switch
serviced at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer immediately.
The front passenger air bag and the passenger side air bag should always
be ON (the air bag OFF light should not be illuminated) unless the
passenger is a person who meets the requirements stated either in
Category 1, 2 or 3 of the NHTSA/Transport Canada deactivation criteria
which follows.
The safety belts for the driver and right front passenger seating
positions have been specifically designed to function together
with the air bags in certain types of crashes. When you turn OFF your
air bag, you not only lose the protection of the air bag, you also may
reduce the effectiveness of your safety belt system, which was
designed to work with the air bag. If you are not a person who meets
the requirements stated in the NHTSA/Transport Canada deactivation
criteria turning OFF the air bag can increase the risk of serious injury
or death in a collision.
