Knee Airbag; Front Passenger Sensing System - Lincoln 2013 MKZ Owner's Manual

Supplementary Restraints System
Children and Airbags
WARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child
in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the seat all the way back.
E142846
Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest
that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

KNEE AIRBAG

The driver's and passenger's knee
airbags are located under the
instrument panel. The system works
along with the driver's and
passenger's front airbags to help
reduce injury to the legs. When the
airbags activate in a collision, the knee
airbags deploy from under the
instrument panel. As with front and
side airbags, it is important to be
properly seated and restrained to
reduce the risk of death or serious
injury.
Make sure the knee airbags
are operating properly. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).

WARNINGS
Even with Advanced Restraints
Systems, children 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a rear
seating position.
Sitting improperly out of position
or with the seat back reclined too
far can take off weight from the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the

front passenger sensing system,

resulting in serious injury or death in a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.
