OCS Rails (Weight Sensors)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Do not disassemble the occupant classification sensor rail, tighten or loosen any of the nuts and bolts installed to the occupant classification sensor rail body. Only the 8 bolts that attach the 2 occupant classification sensor rails to the seat track should be removed and installed. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: The illustration below is indicating the fasteners of the OCS rails (weight sensors) that must not be tightened or loosened. The OCS rails are installed individually as an assembly and require no adjustment.
