•The knee airbag(s) may deploy basedon crash severity and occupantconditions.
•The Safety Canopy inflates in certainside impact crashes or rollover events.The Safety Canopy may activate inother types of crashes if the vehicleexperiences sufficient sideways motionor deformation, or a certain likelihoodof rollover.
Airbags and Police Equipment
WARNING: Do not place objectsor mount equipment on or near theairbag cover, on the side of the front orrear seatbacks, or in areas that maycome into contact with a deployingairbag. Failure to follow theseinstructions may increase the risk ofpersonal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING: Keep the areas in frontof the airbags free from obstruction. Donot affix anything to or over the airbagcovers. Objects could become projectilesduring airbag deployment. Failure tofollow this instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
Dual driver and passenger airbags, sideairbags and knee airbags affect the waypolice equipment can be mounted in policevehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contactwith an airbag, once it has deployed, mustnot damage the airbag or alter itsdeployment path.
Once the airbag has fully deployed, anyperipheral equipment surfaces that couldcome into contact with the airbag, such aswhen the airbag deflates with the loadingof an occupant, must not damage theairbag or alter its deployment path. Sharpedges, corners or protrusions coulddamage the nylon airbag material andreduce the effectiveness of the airbag.
Some approximate dimensions for airbags,at full inflation, are provided. Thesedimensions are somewhat flexible andrepresent free form deployments withoutthe loading of occupants. The shadedareas in Figures 8 through 10 representavailable police equipment mountingzones. These zones are shown for policevehicles with standard bucket seats. Thezone dimensions provided in Figures 8through 10 are approximate and will varywith the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zonedimensions are approximate due todifferent airbag deploymentcharacteristics.
Do not mount equipment between the sideof the front seat and the door trim that willblock deployment of the side airbag.
Do not mount equipment between theseats and the body side as shown in Figure7 that would prevent the side curtain airbagfrom achieving occupant coverage.
