Mounting
Side Impact Sensor
The side impact sensors are located in the front doors and C-pillars; one sensor in each door and in each C-pillar. The location and orientation
are critical for the correct operation of all the impact sensors. Do not use the attachment bolts of the impact sensors to mount any equipment.
Restraints Control Module (RCM)
The RCM is mounted under the front of the center console. The RCM orientation is critical for proper operation of the restraint systems. Do not
relocate, or use the RCM mounting bolts for attachment purposes of any equipment.
Air Bag Deployment Interference
WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag module cover or in the front seat area; this is to avoid contact with a
deploying air bag. Placing objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the air bag.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should be placed only within their specified zone. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not mount equipment between the side of the front seat and the door trim that would block deployment of the side air bag.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not mount equipment on the instrument panel between the driver and the pedal area, between the door and the console that may
come in contact with or block a deploying knee air bag. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the air bag supplemental restraint systems (SRS) or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln
dealer. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including frame, bumper, front end body structure, tow hooks and B-pillar surrounding
parts may affect the performance of the air bag sensors, increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.
WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying Safety
Canopy® System. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the Safety Canopy® System, its fuses, the A, B, or C-pillar trim, or the headliner on a
vehicle containing a Safety Canopy® System. See your Ford or Lincoln dealer.
WARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy® System.
NOTICE:
The side impact sensors are tuned to excite based on their mass (including wiring), as well as the host sheet metal. Any alteration to
these components must be avoided. Additions, such as padding, wire connectors, retainers, tape or fasteners of any kind should
