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 System or its fuses. See your Ford or

Lincoln Mercury dealer.

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

Modifications 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 sensors increasing the risk of injury. Do not
modify the front end of the vehicle.

Additional equipment may affect the performance of the air bag
sensors increasing the risk of injury. Please refer to the Body

Builders Layout Book for instructions about the appropriate installation
of additional equipment.

Children and air bags

For additional important safety information, read all information on
safety restraints in this guide.

Children must always be properly restrained. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.

An infant in a rear-facing seat faces a high risk of serious or fatal
injuries from a deploying passenger air bag. Rear facing infant

seats should NEVER be placed in the front seats, unless the passenger
air bag is turned off. See Passenger air bag ON/OFF switch.
