FORD 2003 Ranger v.2 - Manual (Page 87)

Children and air bags
For additional important safety information, read all information on
safety restraints in this guide.
Never place a rearward
facing child safety restraint
in front of an airbag. Airbags have
been known to kill or injure
children in front facing child
safety restraints. Whenever
placing a child safety seat in a
front seating position (including
center if equipped), turn off the
passenger side air bag switch after
being certain the child is properly
restrained. If using a forward
facing child safety restraint in the
front outboard seat, slide the seat
all the way back, and turn off the
passenger air bag. If using a rear
facing child safety seat in the
front outboard seating position,
make sure the passenger airbag is
turned off and slide the passenger
seat all the way forward until the
safety seat rests on the dashboard.
See Passenger air bag on/off
switch in this chapter.
Do not install a child seat in
a center facing jump seat.
