Seating and Safety Restraints The front passenger airbag is not designed to offer protection to an occupant in the center front seating position. 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. Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat. 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. Booster seats must be installed only in seating positions equipped with a combination lap/shoulder belt. To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they can be properly restrained. 89 2008 Ranger (ran) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
