FORD 2009 F-150 v.1 - Manual (Page 179)

Important SRS precautions
WARNING: All occupants
of the vehicle, including the
driver, should always properly
wear their safety belts, even when
an airbag (SRS) is provided.
WARNING: Always
transport children 12 years
old and under in the back seat if
your vehicle has a back seat. Rear
facing infant seats should NEVER
be placed in the front seats. This
is because the back of the infant
seat is too close to the inflating
airbag and the risk of a fatal injury
to the infant when the airbag
inflates is substantial.
WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag cover.
WARNING: Never place your arms or feet over the airbag
module as a deploying airbag can result in serious fractures or
other injuries.
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 slightly one or two degrees from the upright position.
WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your
authorized dealer.
