Air Bag Deployment Interference
WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag module
cover or in the front seat area; this is to avoid contact with a deploying air bag. Placing
objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the
air bag. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING: Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should be placed only within
their specified zone. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING: Do not mount equipment between the side of the front seat and the door
trim that would block deployment of the side air bag. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the air bag supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) in any way. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe
personal injury. See your Ford or Lincoln dealer.
WARNING: Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including frame, bumper,
front end body structure, tow hooks and B-pillar surrounding parts may affect the
performance of the air bag sensors, increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front
end of the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury
or death.
WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the
siderail that may come into contact with a deploying safety canopy. Failure to follow this
instruction may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the Safety Canopy System,
its fuses, the A, B or C-pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety
Canopy System. See your Ford or Lincoln dealer. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
