WARNING:Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of
the airbag module cover or in front of the seat areas that may
come in contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING:Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should
not be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING:Do not mount equipment between the side of front
seat to the door trim to block deployment of the side airbag.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
Some approximate dimensions for airbags, at full inflation, are provided
in Figures 1 through 5. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent “free form” deployments without the loading of occupants. The
shaded areas in Figures 6 through 8 represent available police equipment
mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped
with standard bucket seats. While bench seats are optional and still
appropriate for vehicles with certain limited police equipment
requirements, the standard bucket seats are recommended for vehicles
that require maximum available space for police equipment mounting.
The zone dimensions provided in Figures 6 through 8 are approximate
and will vary with the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone dimensions are approximate
due to different airbag deployment characteristics.
No equipment will mount between the side of the front seat and the
door trim to block deployment of the side airbag.
