Seats
SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take weight off the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Always sit upright against your seat back, with your feet on the floor.
Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the occupant to slide under the safety belt, resulting in
serious injury in the event of a crash.
Do not place objects higher than the seat back to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking.
When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, safety belt and air bags will provide optimum protection in the event of a crash.
F150 (TF6) , enUSA
We recommend that you follow these guidelines: •
Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more than
30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable. Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimeters) between your breastbone and the air bag cover.
•
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
•
• Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle. HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving.
The head restraint is a safety device. Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied. An improperly adjusted head restraint may not adequately protect an occupant during an impact from the rear.
