Seating and Safety Restraints Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the steering column, its adaptive module, or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer. To properly position yourself away from the airbag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. • Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the upright position. Do not put anything on or over the air bag module. Placing objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso causing serious injury. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer. The front passenger airbag is not designed to offer protection to an occupant in the center front seating position. Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle. 184 2005 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
