Airbags and Police Equipment
WARNING:
Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the
airbag cover, on the side of the front or
rear seatbacks, or in areas that may
come into contact with a deploying
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:
Keep the areas in front
of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Dual driver and passenger airbags, and side
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 fully deploys, 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.
