Seating and Safety Restraints WARNING: 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 passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor. WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback map pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the "passenger airbag off" or "pass airbag off" indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Refer to Front passenger sensing system in the Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) section for additional details. Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger seat sensing system. • Move the front of the control up or down to tilt the front of the seat cushion. • Move the rear of the control up or down to raise or lower the entire seat cushion. • Move the control in the directions shown to move the seat forward or backward. 157 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
