THE 1992 MERCURY SABLE OFFERS A SAFETY COMBINATION UNEQUALE BY ANY OTHER CAR IN ITS CLASS

m m Only Sable offers the added protection of a standard driver-side air bag plus available right front passenger air bag and anti-lock brakes.

Of all the two-hundred-plus refinements made to the new 1992 Sable, the option of an available right front passenger air bag Supplemental Restraint System is considered by many as most important of all. Yet, there are quite a few features equally as important throughout Sable. Such as “speed-sensitive” power steering for enhanced road handling. Three-point safety belts, front and rear. Child-proof rear door locks. Bumpers which are designed to be two times more impact resistant than the standard set by the U.S. government. Furthermore, Sable has a unitized body that’s specially designed to help protect passengers during a collision with impact absorbing “crumple zones” front and rear. And Sable wagon has an available rear-facing third seat which allows room for up to eight passengers. When it comes to style, features, affordability and protection—there's hardly a car or wagon on earth that comes close to surpassing this one. Air bags Inflate during a moderate to severe frontal collision. Always wear your safety belts. Mercury Sable, it's The One fo r '92 and at your Lincoln-Mercury dealer now.
