Safety Restraints For Children; Important Child Restraint Precautions - Ford 2003 Mustang Owner's Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or
more of the following:
• The readiness light
will either flash or
stay lit.
• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately
after ignition is turned on.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone
pattern will repeat periodically until the problem
and/or light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently,
have the SRS serviced at your dealership or by a
qualified technician immediately. Unless serviced,
the system may not function properly in the event of
a collision.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped
vehicles (including pretensioners)
See your local dealership or qualified technician. Air
bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to
properly use safety restraints for children. Also see
Air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this
chapter for special instructions about using air bags.

Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for
children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children
(generally children who are four years old or
younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less) ride
in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats
made especially for children. Check your local and
state or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding the safety of children in your vehicle.
When possible, always place children under age 12
in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating position.
