Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow

hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the
risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.

Additional equipment may affect the performance of the airbag
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 airbags

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 seat
than in the front seat. Failure to
follow these instructions may
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

Airbags can kill or injure a
child in a child seat.

NEVER place a rear-facing child
seat in front of an active airbag. If
you must use a forward-facing
child seat in the front seat, move
the seat all the way back.

If two adults and a child occupy a Regular Cab, properly restrain the
child in the center front unless doing so would interfere with driving the
vehicle. This arrangement provides lap and shoulder belt protection for
all occupants, and airbag protection for the adults. A child or infant
properly restrained in the center front seat should not incur risk of
serious injury from the airbags.
