Severe duty equipment Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag covers that may come into contact with an inflating air bag. Mobile communication systems Note: The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulates the use of mobile communication systems such as two-way radios, telephones and anti-theft alarms that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules. Ford Motor Company vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions. Note: Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or are not properly installed. For example: when operated, such systems may cause the engine to stumble or stall and may affect electronically controlled transmission operation. In addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or their operation affected by operating your vehicle. (Citizen Band [CB] transceivers, garage door openers, and other transmitters whose power output if 5 watts or less will not ordinarily affect your vehicle's operation.) 20
