Seating and Safety Restraints Front seat armrest The front seat armrest has a locking pin which prevents the armrest from folding down during a collision. If the locking pin has engaged because of a substantial jolt, but no collision has occurred, you can disengage the locking pin by first moving the armrest forward until it stops to align the hole with the locking pin, then by pushing a small tool through the access hole provided. WARNING: Ford Motor Company recommends that all front seat armrests should be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision to verify that the locking pin feature has not been damaged. The front seat armrest must be replaced if either damage or improper operation is found. Failure to replace a damaged front seat armrest may result in the armrest falling suddenly during a collision, which could lead to serious injury. To gain access to the storage compartment in your armrest, press the button, on either the driver or passenger side, to unlatch and open the lid. 92 2008 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
