FORD 1998 Taurus - Manual (Page 68)

All occupants of the vehicle including the
driver should always properly wear their
safety belts even when air bag SRS is provided.
Always transport children 12 years old and
under in the back seat and always use
appropriate child restraints.
NHTSA recommends a minimum distance of
at least 25.4 cm (ten [10] inches) between
an occupant’s chest and the air bag module.
Steps you can take 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 one or two notches from the
upright position.
The right front passenger air bag is not
designed to restrain occupants in the center
front seating 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.
