2018 LINCOLN MKX child restraint

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).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Notice to utility vehicle and truckowners
WARNINGS
Utility vehicles have a significantlyhigher rollover rate than other types ofvehicles. To reduce the risk of serious injuryor death from a rollover or other crash youmust avoid sharp turns and abruptmaneuvers, drive at safe speeds for theconditions, keep tires properly inflated, neveroverload or improperly load your vehicle,and make sure every passenger is properlyrestrained.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted personis significantly more likely to die thana person wearing a seat belt. All occupantsmust wear seat belts, and children andinfants must use appropriate restraints tominimize the risk of injury or ejection.
Utility vehicles and trucks handle differentlythan passenger cars in the various drivingconditions that are encountered on streets,highways and off-road. Utility vehicles andtrucks are not designed for cornering atspeeds as high as passenger cars any morethan low-slung sports cars are designed toperform satisfactorily under off-roadconditions.
Study your owner's manual and anysupplements for specific information aboutequipment features, instructions for safedriving and additional precautions to reducethe risk of an accident or serious injury.
All-wheel drive system (if equipped)
WARNING
Do not become overconfident in theability of all-wheel-drive vehicles.Although an all-wheel-drive vehicle mayaccelerate better than a two-wheel drivevehicle in low traction situations, it will notstop any faster than two-wheel drivevehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.
A vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive hasthe ability to use all four wheels to poweritself. This increases traction which mayenable you to safely drive over terrain androad conditions that a conventionaltwo-wheel drive vehicle cannot.
For all-wheel-drive vehicles, a spare tire ofa different size other than the tire providedshould never be used. A dissimilar spare tiresize (other than the spare tire provided) ormajor dissimilar tire sized between the frontand rear axles could cause theall-wheel-drive system to stop functioningand default to front-wheel drive.
