Child Restraints - Ford 2006 Ranger Owner's Manual

The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects
placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front
passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the
passenger airbag is disabled, the pass airbag off light may or may not
be illuminated according to the table below.
Objects
Small (i.e. 3 ring binder, small
purse, bottled water)
Medium (i.e. heavy briefcase,
fully packed luggage)
Empty seat, or small to medium
object with safety belt buckled
Any alteration/modification to the front passenger seat may
affect the performance of the front passenger sensing system.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN
See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system
(SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Important child restraint precautions
You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S.
and Canada. If small children ride in your vehicle (generally children who
are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 lb. [18 kg] or less), you
must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Many states
require that children use approved booster seats until they are eight
years old. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding the safety of children in your vehicle.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from
injury in a collision.
Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or
child restraint you might use.
Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump seat.
