2013 LINCOLN MKZ airbag disable

WARNINGS
Any alteration or modification to
the front passenger seat may
affect the performance of the front
passenger sensing system. This system works with sensors that
are part of the front passenger
’s seat
and safety belt to detect the presence
of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the front passenger ’s
frontal airbag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not. The front passenger sensing system
uses a passenger airbag status
indicator which will illuminate
indicating that the front passenger
frontal airbag is either ON (enabled)
or OFF (disabled). The indicator lamp
is located at the top center of the
instrument panel.
Note:
The passenger airbag status
indicator OFF and ON indicator lamps
will illuminate for a short period of time
when the ignition is first turned on to
confirm it is functional. The front passenger sensing system
is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag
when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied, or a rear facing infant
seat, a forward-facing child restraint,
or a booster seat is detected. Even
with this technology, parents are
STRONGLY encouraged to always
properly restrain children in the rear
seat. The sensor also turns off the
passenger front airbag and
seat-mounted side airbag when the
passenger seat is empty.
• When the front passenger sensing
system disables (will not inflate)
the front passenger frontal airbag,
the passenger airbag status
indicator will illuminate the OFF
lamp and stay lit to remind you
that the front passenger frontal
airbag is disabled.
• If the child restraint has been
installed and the passenger airbag
status indicator illuminates the ON
lamp, then turn the vehicle off,
remove the child restraint from the
vehicle and reinstall the restraint
following the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system
is designed to enable (may inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag
anytime the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting properly
in the front passenger seat.

•
When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front
passenger frontal airbag (may
inflate), the passenger airbag
status indicator will illuminate the
ON lamp and remain illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger ’s seat, but the airbag
off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person isn ’t sitting properly
in the seat. If this happens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat back in
the full upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the
seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person ’s legs comfortably
extended. •
Restart the vehicle and have the
person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow
the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger ’s frontal
airbag.
• If the indicator OFF lamp remains
lit even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the
rear seat. Passenger Airbag
