Important SRS precautions
The SRS is designed to work with
the safety belt to help protect the
driver and right front passenger
from certain upper body injuries.
Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly;
there is a risk of injury from a
deploying airbag.
WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,
should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.
WARNING:
When possible, all children 12 years old and under
should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.
WARNING:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module.
WARNING:
Never place your arm over the air bag module as a
deploying air bag can result in serious arm fractures or other
injuries.
WARNING:
Ford Motor Company recommends that an
authorized dealer inspect all steering column assemblies in use
in vehicles involved in a collision. Failure to inspect and if necessary
replace the steering column assembly could result in severe injury or
death in the event of a collision.
