OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Driver/passenger air bags affect the way police equip-
ment can be safely mounted in police vehicles.
Any surface that could come into contact with an air bag,
once it has been deployed, must not damage the air bag
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 air bag. Air bag deployment zones are
described below. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions on
supplemental equipment, could damage the nylon air
bag material and reduce the effectiveness of the air bag
during a deployment.
WARNING!
• Vehicles equipped with left and right side curtain
air bags must use police cages, which have been
approved by the equipment manufacturer, for use
in the vehicle.
• The area where the side curtain air bag is located
should remain free from any obstructions.
• If your vehicle is equipped with left and right side
curtain air bags, care must be taken when installing
any type of roof equipment. Drilling and installa-
tion of fasteners or other equipment that may
interfere with the side curtain air bags and air bag
wiring harness is not permitted. Furthermore,
make sure no equipment or fasteners are located in
the air bag deployment zone.
