Seating and Safety Restraints Installing LATCH seats (Regular Cab) When you install a child seat on the front passenger seat of a Regular Cab, turn the Passenger Airbag On/Off switch to OFF. If you tightly install a LATCH infant or child safety seat with its own webbing-mounted attachments to the LATCH anchors on the front passenger seat of the Regular Cab, the front passenger sensing system may not automatically turn the airbag off. The vehicle safety belts at the right front seat include a sensor that adjusts the weight on the seat cushion. This adjustment does not work when the child seat is installed using the LATCH attachment belts instead of the vehicle safety belts. Therefore, turn the airbag OFF with the manual Airbag On/Off switch. 148 2004 F150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
