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.

Never remove or defeat the “tripping mechanisms” designed into the
snow removal equipment by its manufacturer. Doing so may cause
damage to the vehicle and the snow removal equipment as well as
possible air bag deployment.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your Ford

or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
