FORD 2011 Ranger v.2 - Manual (Page 85)

Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a
deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module.
WARNING: Rear facing
child seats should NEVER
be placed in front of an active
airbag.
WARNING: All occupants
of the vehicle, including the
driver, should always properly
wear their safety belts, even when
an airbag supplemental restraint
system (SRS) is provided.
WARNING: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 25 cm
(10 inches) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module.
WARNING: Never place your arm over the air bag module as a
deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other
injuries.
Steps you can take 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.
WARNING: Do not put anything on or over the airbag module.
Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause
those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso
causing serious injury.
