FORD 2004 Mustang v.2 - Manual (Page 83)

Always transport children 12 years old and
under in the back seat and always properly
use appropriate child restraints.
The 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 air bag
module.
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 air bag:
• 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 air bag supplemental restraint systems
or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury
dealer.
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 air bag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the
front end of the vehicle.
