FORD 2013 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 46)

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.
Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If
you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat all the way back.
The driver and front passenger
airbags will deploy during significant
frontal and near-frontal collisions.
The driver and passenger front airbag system consists of the following:
•
Driver and passenger airbag modules.
•
Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in
this chapter.
•
Front passenger sensing system.
Proper Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment
WARNING: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag
module.
To properly position yourself away from the airbag:
•
Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
•
Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright
position.
