Page 19 Air Bag Information AIR BAGS Dual driver/passenger air bags and side air bags (if equipped) affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles.

Page 27 Without the benefit of crash tests on vehicles equipped with push bumpers (there are a number of different styles available), it is Ford’s opinion that installation of some push bumpers could affect the timing of the air bag deployment. Use of a push bumper that mounts solely to the vehicles bumper should not have a significant effect upon air bag deployment.
Page 28 Air Bag Information Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who has their hands restrained behind their body? This is not a normal riding position for an occupant. The effectiveness of the passenger air bag will depend, in part, upon the occupant’s seated position.
