WARNING
Airbags inflate with great force,
faster than the blink of an eye.
No objects, such as shotguns,
should be placed over or near
the airbag covers. Equipment
mounted too close to an inflating
airbag could break and become a
dangerous projectile in a crash,
causing injury to the vehicle's
occupants. Also, an object too
close to an inflating airbag could
prevent the airbag from operating
properly. If this ever happens,
the airbag would not be able to
protect occupants the way it was
designed to. To help prevent
injury and to allow the airbag to
perform as it was designed, do
not mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.
Q: How can I identify the airbag
“ deployment zone ” in my
vehicle?
A: See Airbag Deployment
Diagrams on page 3 ‑ 5 for more
information. The diagrams
provide the approximate
dimensions of the
“ deployment
zones ” for your specialty vehicle.
Before doing any service work,
including the installation of any
equipment, consult the
appropriate service manual.
Q: Is it possible to shield
equipment so it does not
interfere with airbag
deployment?
A: While shielding may protect
certain equipment from being
damaged or dislodged, it may
also negatively affect how an
airbag inflates. Therefore,
we cannot recommend the
placement of any equipment
in the deployment zone,
even when shielding.
Q: Can the installation of push
bumpers on the front end
of the vehicle affect the
deployment of the airbag?
A: General Motors is not aware of
adverse effects during crash
events from the many push
bumpers that have been
installed on GM police vehicles.
Because there are many styles
of push bumpers available with
varying crash characteristics,
installation of push bumpers
may or may not affect
deployment timing of the
airbags. Push bumpers should
be mounted to avoid modifying
the vehicle structure and
interfering with the front airbag
sensors mounted on the upper
radiator support cross member.
