SAFETY
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Driver/passenger air bags affect the way police
equipment can be safely mounted in police
vehicles.
Any surface that could come into contact with
an air bag, once it has been deployed, must not
damage the air bag or alter its deployment path.
The addition of the supplemental equipment
(such as radios, weapons, mounting brackets,
cage, etc.), must be installed such that it will not
interfere or come in contact with a deploying air
bag. Air bag deployment zones are described
below. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions on
supplemental equipment could damage the
nylon air bag material and reduce the effective
-
ness of the air bag during a deployment.
Air Bag Deployment Zones
There are four zones to be aware of:
1. Driver Air Bag Deployment Zone (Figure 1)
and Driver Air Bag/Steering Wheel Specifi
-
cations (Figure 2)
2. Passenger Air Bag Deployment Zone
(Figure 3) and Passenger Air Bag Lateral
Deployment Zone (Figure 4)
