File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 *[SR18500( ALL)01/95] There are four very important reasons to use safety belts even with an air bag system.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 [SR19240( ALL)06/09] In rear-facing infant seats, the infant’s head is closer to the air bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle seatback, center console (if so equipped), or center armrests (if so equipped). REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS MUST ALWAYS BE SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child safety seats and infant seats should be secured in the rear seat whenever possible.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 *[SR19400( ALL)05/95] RWARNING Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag cover on the steering wheel or in front seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 [SR20200( GV )05/95] half page art:0010671-G The location of the air bag and warning labels *[SR20800( ALL)05/95] If a collision occurs, the sensors sense the severity of the impact and activates the air bags if necessary. The air bag system is designed to deploy in frontal and front-angled collisions more severe than hitting a parked vehicle (of similar size and weight) head-on at about 28 mph (45 km/h).
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 *[SR20960( ALL)05/95] RWARNING Air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.

If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. *[SR22210( ALL)05/95] The air bag system uses a readiness light and a tone to indicate the condition of the system.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 % A problem with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: [SR22225( ALL)05/95] ❑ the readiness light will either flash or stay lit, *[SR22220( ALL)05/95] or [SR22230( ALL)05/95] ❑ it will not light immediately after the ignition is turned on, or [SR22240( ALL)05/95] ❑ a group of five beeps will be heard.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 *[SR23700( ALL)05/95] RWARNING Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision. *[SR23800( ALL)05/95] RWARNING Passengers should not be allowed to ride in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a seat with a fastened seat belt are much more likely to suffer serious injury in a collision.
File:rcsrg.ex Update:Tue Jan 30 08:09:22 1996 *[SR24200( ALL)05/95] RWARNING Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle. *[SR24250( ALL)05/95] % RWARNING When using forward-facing child seats move the passenger seat as far back from the instrument panel as possible. NEVER SECURE REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS IN THE FRONT SEAT. *[SR25100( ALL)01/95] *[SR25200( ALL)05/95] Safety Seats for Children % [SR25225( ALL)04/95] Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap.
