Q: How can I identify the airbag“deployment zone” in my
vehicle?
A: See Airbag Deployment
Diagrams on page 3‑4 for more
information. The diagrams
provide the approximate
dimensions of the “deployment
zones” for your specialty vehicle.
Before doing any service work,
including the installation of any
equipment, consult the
appropriate service manual.
Q: Is it possible to shield equipment so it does not
interfere with airbag
deployment?
A: While shielding may protect
certain equipment from being
damaged or dislodged, it may
also negatively affect how an
airbag inflates. Therefore, we
cannot recommend the
placement of any equipment in
the deployment zone, even
when shielding. Q: Can the installation of push
bumpers on the front end of
the vehicle affect the
deployment of the airbag?
A: It is not likely that installing push
bumpers will affect sensing for
the airbag as long as the vehicle
structure itself is not modified.
GM is not aware of any adverse
defects from the many push
bumpers that have been
installed on current model GM
police vehicles with airbags.
Q: Is there anything I might add to the front or sides of the
vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working
properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that
change your vehicle's frame,
bumper system, height, front end
or side sheet metal, they may
keep the airbag system from
working properly. Also, the
airbag system may not work
properly if you relocate any of
the airbag sensors. If you have any questions about this, you
should contact Customer
Assistance before you modify
your vehicle. The phone
numbers and addresses for
Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer
Satisfaction Procedures in the
owner manual. See
“Customer
Satisfaction Procedure” in the
owner manual Index.
The service manual has information
about the location of the airbag
sensors, sensing and diagnostic
module, and airbag wiring. See
“Service Publications Ordering
Information” in the owner manual.

Notices for Customer
Installed Equipment
Read the following notices before
installing equipment on your
specialty vehicle.
Notice:GM-approved service
procedures must be followed to
remove and reinstall the
instrument panel to the pad in
order to ensure proper airbag
deployment. Notice:
Do not mount equipment
on the passenger side of the
instrument panel top pad
deployment zone. Equipment
should not be mounted on or
around the passenger airbag
opening because of a deploying
airbag. To allow the airbag to
perform as it was designed, do
not mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.
Notice: The police vehicle has
roof-rail airbags. Do not mount a
security barrier such that the
ends of the barrier or brackets
are within the roof-rail
deployment zones. Notice:
The police vehicle has
roof-rail airbags and a rollover
sensor. The rollover sensor is
mounted on the centerline of the
vehicle between the driver and
right front passenger positions.
If the vehicle has bucket seats,
the rollover sensor will be
exposed. Do not mount
equipment within 25 mm (1 in) of
the rollover sensor. This may
affect the performance of the
airbag system. To allow the
airbags to perform as they are
designed, do not mount
equipment near this area.
Notice: Avoid installing wiring for
roof-rail emergency lighting or
radio antennas that may restrict
the proper deployment of the
roof-rail airbags.

Refer to the Tire and Loading
Information label, located on the
driver B-pillar, for information
regarding tire sizes, speed
ratings, and recommended tire
inflation pressures. See "Tire
and Loading Information Label"
under Vehicle Load Limits in the
owner manual for more
information. The Special Service
Package is not designed nor
intended for use in high‐speed
emergency vehicle operations.
Wheels
Metal hub caps are standard
with SEO PPV. These caps are
bolted to the wheels and do not
require removal when rotating or
removing the wheels. Loosening or tightening the decorative
wheel attachment nuts can be
done with the hub caps in place.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tahoe Police and Special
Service Packages may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
Sensors are mounted on each tire
and wheel assembly. Only the
Tahoe Police Package (SEO PPV)
has a TPM sensor in the full‐size
spare tire and wheel assembly. The
TPM system will not monitor or
display the spare tire's air pressure
until it is installed onto one of the
four tire/wheel positions on your
vehicle.
Once installed, the spare tire's
sensor code must be matched its
new tire/wheel position on your
vehicle. See
“Tire Pressure Monitor
System” in your owner manual
Index for information about the TPM
system.
