Snowplowing with your air bag-equipped vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with a driver and passenger air bag

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The SRS is designed to activate in

certain frontal and offset frontal collisions when the vehicle sustains

sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow which results in

sufficient vehicle decelerations can deploy the air bag. Such driving also

increases the risk of accidents.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag (SRS) is

provided.

Never remove or defeat the “tripping mechanisms” designed into the

snow removal equipment by its manufacturer. Doing so may cause

damage to the vehicle and the snow removal equipment as well as

possible air bag deployment.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Air Bag

Supplemental Restraint System or its fuses. See your Ford or

Lincoln Mercury dealer.

Additional equipment such as snowplow equipment may effect

the performance of the air bag sensors increasing the risk of

injury. Please refer to the Body Builders Layout Book for instructions

about the appropriate installation of additional equipment.

Engine temperature while plowing

When driving with a snowplow, your engine may run at a higher

temperature than normal because the attached snowplow blade will

restrict airflow to the radiator.

If you are driving more than 24 km (15 miles) at temperatures above

freezing, angle the plow blade either full left or full right to provide

maximum airflow to the radiator.

If you are driving less than 24 km (15 miles) at speeds up to 64 km/h

(40 mph) in cold weather, you will not need to worry about blade

position to provide maximum airflow.

Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument cluster

chapter for transmission fluid temperature information.
