FORD 2010 Crown Victoria v.1 - Manual (Page 295)

Airbags must be allowed to fully deploy without restriction. The
deployment of airbags is not compatible with any configuration of police
equipment mounting that places objects in the airbag deployment path.
Equipment mounted or placed in the deployment path area of an airbag
will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, damage the airbag and
potentially damage or dislodge the equipment. Further such items could
become projectiles in the event of an airbag deployment.
WARNING: Always use safety belts with the airbag
supplemental restraint system.
There are four very important reasons to always use seat belts with the
airbag system. Safety belts:
• help restrain the occupant to increase the effectiveness of the airbag
when it inflates.
• reduce the risk of injury in rollover, side or rear impact accidents for
which airbags are not designed to inflate.
• reduce the risk of injury in frontal collisions that are not severe
enough to activate the airbag.
• reduce the risk of passengers being thrown from the vehicle.
SOME COMMON POLICE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
AIRBAGS
Will there be any way to special order police vehicles without the
airbag systems?
No. Based on the federal law (FMVSS #208), after August 31, 1993, the
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will not be able to sell
passenger cars that do not contain passive restraint systems.
