Seating and Safety Restraints • one or more impact and safing sensors. • the same indicator light, RCM (restraints control module) and diagnostic unit used for the Personal safety system. • Front passenger sensing system • Passenger airbag on/off switch (if equipped) • Passenger air bag off indicator light. The air bag supplemental restraints are an integral part of the Personal Safety System. They are designed to be deployed in cases where the Personal Safety System has determined the occupant conditions and crash severity are appropriate to activate these devices. Refer to the Personal Safety System section in this chapter. Important SRS precautions All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag (SRS) is provided. 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, unless the passenger air bag is turned off (if equipped with an air bag On/Off switch). See Passenger air bag ON/OFF switch. This is because the back of the infant seat is too close to the inflating air bag and the risk of a fatal injury to the infant when the air bag inflates is substantial. 122 2004 F150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
