Special service equipment Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer. Tampering with the dual airbag SRS could cause the airbags to inflate or become inoperative which may result in possible personal injury. Disconnecting or deactivating the airbag SRS could result in liability exposure to the owner of the vehicle. Special airbag supplement restraint system (SRS) concerns • This vehicle cannot be special ordered without the dual airbag supplement restraint system (SRS). • The installation of some types of push bumpers could affect the timing of airbag deployment. • When transporting a passenger whose hands are restrained, it is recommended that the passenger is seated in the rear of the vehicle, upright as possible and properly restrained with the safety belt. If it is necessary to transport an individual in the front seat, the passenger's seat should be adjusted as far rearward as possible and the individual properly restrained with the safety belt. • This vehicle is not designed nor intended for use as an ambulance or pursuit vehicle. However, high speed braking or uneven road surfaces will not cause inadvertent airbag inflation. 14 2008 Explorer (exp) Supplement USA (fus)
