2018 LINCOLN MKX seats

Note:When the passenger airbag statusindicator off light is illuminated, thepassenger (seat mounted) side airbag maybe disabled to avoid the risk of airbagdeployment injuries.
After all occupants have adjusted their seatsand put on seatbelts, it is very important thatthey continue to sit properly. A properlyseated occupant sits upright, leaning againstthe seatback, and centered on the seatcushion, with their feet comfortably extendedon the floor. Sitting improperly can increasethe chance of injury in a crash event. Forexample, if an occupant slouches, lies down,turns sideways, sits forward, leans forwardor sideways, or puts one or both feet up, thechance of injury during a crash greatlyincreases.
If you think that the status of the passengerairbag off indicator lamp is incorrect, checkfor the following:
•Objects lodged underneath the seat.
•Objects between the seat cushion andthe center console.
•Objects hanging off the seatback.
•Objects stowed in the seatback mappocket.
•Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
•Cargo interference with the seat
•Other passengers pushing or pulling onthe seat.
•Rear passenger feet and knees restingor pushing on the seat.
The conditions listed above may cause theweight of a properly seated occupant to beincorrectly interpreted by the front passengersensing system. The person in the frontpassenger seat may appear heavier or lighterdue to the conditions described in the listabove.
Make sure the front passengersensing system is operatingproperly. See Crash Sensors andAirbag Indicator (page 55).
If the airbag readiness light is lit, do thefollowing:
The driver and adult passengers shouldcheck for objects lodged underneath thefront passenger seat, or cargo interferingwith the seat.

The side airbags are on the outboard sideof the seatbacks of the front seats. Theairbag was designed to inflate between thedoor panel and occupant to further enhancethe protection provided to occupants incertain side impact crashes.
The system consists of the following:
•A label or embossed side panelindicating that side airbags are fitted toyour vehicle.
•Side airbags inside the driver and frontpassenger seatbacks.

The Safety Canopy will deploy duringsignificant side crashes or when a certainlikelihood of a rollover event is detected bythe rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy ismounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal,behind the headliner, above each row ofseats. In certain sideways crashes or rolloverevents, the Safety Canopy will be activated,regardless of which seats are occupied. TheSafety Canopy is designed to inflate betweenthe side window area and occupants tofurther enhance protection provided in sideimpact crashes and rollover events.
The system consists of the following:
•Safety canopy curtain airbags locatedabove the trim panels over the front andrear side windows identified by a labelor wording on the headliner or roof-pillartrim.
•A flexible headliner which opens abovethe side doors to allow air curtaindeployment
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with readiness indicator.See Crash Sensors and AirbagIndicator (page 55).
Children 12 years old and under shouldalways be properly restrained in the rearseats. The Safety Canopy will not interferewith children restrained using a properlyinstalled child or booster seat because it isdesigned to inflate downward from theheadliner above the doors along the sidewindow opening.
The design and development of the SafetyCanopy included recommended testingprocedures that were developed by a groupof automotive safety experts known as theSide Airbag Technical Working Group. Theserecommended testing procedures helpreduce the risk of injuries related to thedeployment of side airbags (including theSafety Canopy).
