WARNINGS
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. 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. Dual driver and passenger airbags, side
airbags and knee airbags affect the way
police equipment can be mounted in police
vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact
with an airbag, once it has deployed, must
not damage the airbag or alter its
deployment path.
Once the airbag has fully deployed, any
peripheral equipment surfaces that could
come into contact with the airbag (such
as when the airbag deflates with the
loading of an occupant) must not damage
the airbag or alter its deployment path.
Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon airbag material and
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag.
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. 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.
