Supplementary Restraints System DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS WARNINGS Never place your arm or any objects over an airbag module. Placing your arm over a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries. Objects placed on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury. 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 upon which the child seat is installed all the way back. Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment WARNING National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between a passenger's chest and the driver airbag module. To correctly position yourself away from the airbag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. • Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright position. After all passengers have correctly adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it is very important that they continue to sit correctly. A correctly seated passenger sits upright, leans against the seat backrest, and in the center of the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting incorrectly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For example, if a passenger slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased. E151127 The driver and front passenger airbags will deploy during significant frontal and near frontal crashes. The driver and passenger front airbag system consists of: • Driver and passenger airbag modules. · Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 45). Passenger Airbag On and Off Switch (If Equipped) WARNINGS Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children who are 12 years and under should be correctly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this can increase the risk of serious injury or death in a crash. 37 Super Duty (), enUSA
