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.

Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including frame,
bumper, front end body structure and tow hooks may effect the

performance of the air bag sensors 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 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.

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

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

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.
