Never place your arm over the air bag module as a deploying air
bag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.

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.

Do not put anything on or over the air bag module. Placing
objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those

objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso causing
serious injury.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag
supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your authorized

dealer.

The front passenger air bag is not designed to offer protection to
an occupant in the center front seating position.

Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow

hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the
risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.

Additional equipment such as snowplow equipment may effect
the performance of the airbag sensors increasing the risk of

injury. Please refer to the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book for
instructions about the appropriate installation of additional equipment.

Removing the blocker beam without installing snow plow
attachment hardware may effect airbag deployment in a crash.

Do not operate the truck unless either the blocker beam or snow plow
attachment hardware is installed on the vehicle.
