Seating and Safety Restraints The memory seat positions are also recalled when you press your remote entry transmitter (unlock) control. To program the memory seat to remote entry transmitter, refer to Remote entry system in the Locks and security chapter. SAFETY RESTRAINTS Personal Safety System™ The Personal Safety System™ provides an improved overall level of frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations. Your vehicle's Personal Safety System™ consists of the following items: • Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints • Front safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors, and safety belt usage sensors • Driver's seat position sensor • Front passenger sensing system • "Passenger airbag off" or "pass airbag off" indicator lamp • Front crash severity sensor • Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors • Restraint system warning light and back-up tone • The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position sensor, and indicator lights How does the Personal Safety System™ work? The Personal Safety System™ can adapt the deployment strategy of your vehicle's safety devices according to crash severity and occupant conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides information to the Restraints control module (RCM). During a crash, the RCM may activate the safety belt pretensioners and/or either one or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints based on crash severity and occupant conditions. The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with 98 2008 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to
analyze different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating
the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of

Your vehicle’s Personal Safety System™ consists of the following items:
Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints
Front safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors,
and safety belt usage sensors
Driver’s seat position sensor
Front passenger sensing system
“Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp
Front crash severity sensor
Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors
Restraint system warning light and back-up tone
The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt
pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, and indicator lights
How does the Personal Safety System™ work?
The Personal Safety System™ can adapt the deployment strategy of your
vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and occupant

information to the Restraints control module (RCM). During a crash, the
RCM may activate the safety belt pretensioners and/or either one or both

severity and occupant conditions.
