Ford 1996 Bronco Manual page 28

The driver air bag is a Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS), provided in addition to the driver
lap/shoulder belt, and is designed to
supplement the protection provided to a
properly belted driver in moderate to severe
frontal collisions. The supplemental air bag
system does not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The Importance of Wearing Safety Belts
Safety belts must be worn by all vehicle
occupants to be properly restrained and
help reduce the risk of injury in a
collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the
driver, should always wear their safety
belts, even when an air bag Supplemental
Restraint System is provided.
There are four very important reasons to use
safety belts even with an air bag system. Use
your safety belts to:
help keep you in the proper seating position
(away from the air bag) when it inflates
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side or
rear impact collisions, because an air bag is
not designed to inflate in such situations
reduce the risk of harm in frontal collisions
that are not severe enough to activate the
supplemental air bag
reduce the risk of being thrown from your
vehicle
