Notices for Customer
Installed Equipment
Read the following notices before
installing equipment on the 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: Equipment mounted to
the instrument panel top pad
must not exceed 8.0 lb (3.6 kg).
Notice: In order not to restrict
upward movement of the driver's
side instrument panel top pad
when the airbag deploys,
equipment should be securely
mounted only to the top pad.
Notice: Do not place equipment
on the passenger's side of the
instrument panel top pad because
the edge of it rises when the
airbag deploys.
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: Passenger airbag
contacts inside rearview mirror at
the beginning of deployment.
Video cameras and other small
equipment should be securely
mounted outside the airbag 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: Avoid installing wiring
for roof-rail emergency lighting
or radio antennas that may
restrict the proper deployment
of the roof-rail airbags.
Notice: The police vehicle has
seat ‐ mounted side impact
airbags for the driver and
passenger front seat positions.
Restricting the cover from
opening prevents proper
deployment of the seat
‐ mounted
side impact airbag. Do not cover
or restrict the seat
‐ mounted side
impact airbag cover located on
the outboard side of the seatback.
