• 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.

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. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front
seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
