OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Driver/passenger airbags affect the way police equip-
ment can be safely mounted in police vehicles.

Any surface that could come into contact with an airbag,
once it has been deployed, must not damage the airbag or
alter its deployment path.

The addition of the supplemental equipment (such as
radios, weapons, mounting brackets, cage, etc.), must be
installed such that it will not interfere or come in contact
with a deploying airbag. Airbag deployment zones are
described below. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions on
supplemental equipment, could damage the nylon airbag
material and reduce the effectiveness of the airbag during
a deployment.

WARNING!

Vehicles equipped with left and right-side curtain

airbags must use police cages, which have been
approved by the equipment manufacturer, for use
in the vehicle.

The area where the side-curtain airbag is located

should remain free from any obstructions.

If your vehicle is equipped with left and right side

curtain airbags, care must be taken when install-
ing any type of roof equipment. Drilling and
installation of fasteners or other equipment that
may interfere with the side-curtain airbags and
airbag wiring harness, is not permitted. Further-
more, make sure that no equipment or fasteners
are located in the airbag deployment zone.
