Questions and Answers
About Airbags and
Specialty Law
Enforcement Vehicles
Q: Can equipment such as radar
devices, video cameras, and
radio trees be mounted in a
specialty vehicle equipped
with a right front passenger
frontal airbag?
A: Yes, but care must be taken to
properly mount the equipment
outside of the airbag
“deployment zone.”
Q: What is the airbag “deployment zone”?
A: The term “deployment zone”
describes the space an airbag
takes up when fully inflated.
Airbags need room to work
properly, and anything in the
“deployment zone” — suchas improperly mounted
equipment
—can greatly affect
the performance of the airbag.
{WARNING
Airbags inflate with great force,
faster than the blink of an eye. No
objects, such as shotguns, should
be placed over or near the airbag
covers. Equipment mounted too
close to an inflating airbag could
break and become a dangerous
projectile in a crash, causing
injury to the vehicle's occupants.
Also, an object too close to an
inflating airbag could prevent the
airbag from operating properly.
If this ever happens, the airbag
would not be able to protect
occupants the way it was
designed to. To help prevent
injury and to allow the airbag to
perform as it was designed, do
not mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.

Driving Information
Vehicle Load Limits
The information in this section of the
supplement is for those who intend
to install additional equipment to the
police vehicle after it has left the
factory, and for those who will be
driving and loading the vehicle with
passengers and/or cargo.
Two labels on your vehicle show
how much weight it was designed to
carry, the Tire and Loading
Information label and the
Certification/Tire label. These labels
are attached to your vehicle and
give you the maximum load
capacity, the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for your
vehicle. See“Vehicle Load Limits” in
the owner manual Index for
additional loading information. The following guidelines can help
you with proper loading and load
distribution when installing
additional equipment on the
Tahoe Police Package.
{WARNING
Do not load the vehicle any
heavier than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the
maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
This can cause systems to
break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
shorten the life of the vehicle.

cause unintended acceleration
and/or increased stopping
distance which can cause a crash
and injury. Make sure the floor
mat does not interfere with the
pedals.Use the following guidelines for
proper floor mat usage.

mats were designed for the

that GM certified floor mats be
purchased. Non-GM floor mats
may not fit properly and may
interfere with the pedals. Always
check that the floor mats do not
interfere with the pedals.
.Use the floor mat with the
correct side up. Do not turn
it over.
.Do not place anything on top of
the driver side floor mat.
.Use only a single floor mat on
the driver side.
.Do not place one floor mat on
top of another.
