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.

near the headliner at the siderail

to follow these instructions may
increase the risk of personal injury

injure you as it deploys from the headliner.

system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a
vehicle containing a Safety Canopy . See your Ford or Lincoln
