50 Supplementary Restraints System To know if the front passenger sensing system is operating properly, see Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in this chapter. If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following: The driver or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat. If objects are lodged or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take the following steps to remove the obstruction: • Pull your vehicle over. • Turn your vehicle off. • Driver or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat. • Remove the obstruction(s) (if found). • Restart your vehicle. • Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is no longer illuminated. • If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may not be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system. Do not attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle immediately to an authorized dealer. If it is necessary to modify an advanced front airbag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center at the phone number shown in the Customer Assistance section of this owner's manual. SIDE AIRBAGS WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag cover, on the side of the seat backs (of the front seats), or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash. WARNING: Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident. 2013 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
