How to tell if there are side curtain airbags?

[wixy]

I just bought a 2008 FG XR6T (yay) that features the luxury pack and tech pack.  I'm trying to figure out if any safety options were ticked, such as side curtain airbags.  How do I tell?

I dont know about the FG's but in my BF I have some tag on my seat indicating a side air bag, visible when I open door and look at the side of the seat.

 

In your case, check this but also check all the pillars, there will be a logo somewhere probably.

Should be an Srs airbag logo embossed on the trim plastic to let you know not to obstruct it

You can email Ford your VIN to get a complete listing of factory options.  I did it to ask what the police pack involved on my BFII.

I got a similar thing, but if you scroll a tad bit more down, you will get the rest of the info.

 

So I got FPV syspension, but less Premium brakes. why the I <3 Bananas did I pay for premium package then.

I feel so ripped off now.

Ohh and don't get me started on the 6 speed manual transmissions. I thought it was meant to have the TR6060??????

What with the standard engine cooling fan? do the FPV's have a special fan for their cars?
