Lincoln Aviator: Supplementary Restraints System / Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator
WARNING: Modifying or adding
equipment to the front end of your vehicle
(including hood, bumper system, frame,
front end body structure, tow hooks and
hood pins) may affect the performance of
the airbag system, increasing the risk of
injury. Do not modify or add equipment to
the front end of your vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors which provide information
to the restraints control module. The
restraints control module deploys (activates)
the seatbelt pretensioners, driver airbag,
passenger airbag, knee airbag(s), seat
mounted side airbags and the Safety
Canopy. Based on the type of crash, the
restraints control module deploys the
appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors
the readiness of the above safety devices
plus the crash and occupant sensors. The
readiness of the safety system is indicated
by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning
light is not working. Routine maintenance of
the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following:

- The readiness light will not illuminate
immediately after you switch the ignition
on.
- The readiness light either flashes or stays
lit.
- A series of five beeps is heard. The tone
pattern repeats periodically until the
problem, the light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized
dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the
system may not function properly in the
event of a crash.
The restraint system is designed to activate
when the vehicle sustains conditions
sufficient to cause the restraint control
module to deploy a safety device.
The fact that not all the safety devices
activate for all occupants in a crash does not
mean something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (crash
severity, type of crash, belt usage) were not
appropriate to activate these safety devices.
- The front airbags are designed to
activate only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts) unless the crash causes
sufficient frontal deceleration.
- The seatbelt pretensioners are designed
to activate in frontal, near-frontal and side
crashes, and in rollovers.
- The knee airbag(s) may deploy based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.
- The side airbags are designed to inflate
in certain side impact crashes or rollover
events. Side airbags may activate in other
types of crashes if your vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood of
rollover.
- The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate
in certain side impact crashes or rollover
events. The Safety Canopy may activate
in other types of crashes if your vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood of
rollover.
Airbag Disposal
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Airbags must be disposed of by
qualified personnel.
WARNING: Do not place objects or
mount equipment on or near the headliner
at the siderail that may come into contact
with a deploying curtain airbag...
Due to the quiet operation of hybrid and
electric vehicles at low speeds, the system
creates a subtle sound to alert pedestrians.
The system is on when your vehicle is
running and not in park (P)...
