OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Driver/passenger air bags affect the way police equip-
ment 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 effectiveness of the air bag
during a deployment.
WARNING!
•
Vehicles equipped with left and right Supplemen-
tal Side Curtain Air Bags (SABIC) must use police
cages, which have been approved by the equip-
ment manufacturer, for use in the vehicle.
•
The area where the Supplemental Side Curtain Air
Bags (SABIC) is located should remain free from
any obstructions.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Curtain Air Bags (SABIC), care
must be taken when installing any type of roof
equipment. Drilling and installation of fasteners or
other equipment that may interfere with the Supple-
mental Side Curtain Air Bags (SABIC) and air bag
wiring harness is not permitted. Furthermore, make
sure no equipment or fasteners are located in the air
bag deployment zone.
