Airbag System Questions and Answers About Airbags and Specialty Law Enforcement Vehicles Q: Can equipment such as radar devices, video cameras, and radio trees be mounted in a specialty vehicle equipped with a right front passenger's frontal airbag? A: Yes, but care must be taken to properly mount the equipment outside of the airbag “deployment zone.” 2-2 Q: What is the airbag “deployment zone”? A: The term “deployment zone” describes the space an airbag takes up when fully inflated.
WARNING: (Continued) 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 2‑6 for more information.
Q: Can the installation of push bumpers on the front end of the vehicle affect the deployment of the airbag? Q: Is there anything I might add to the exterior of the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly? A: Yes, particularly if the push bumper significantly changes the front structure of the vehicle.
Notices for Customer-Installed Equipment Read the following notices before installing equipment on your specialty vehicle. Notice: GM-approved service procedures must be followed to remove and reinstall the instrument panel to the pad in order to ensure proper airbag deployment. Notice: Do not mount equipment on the passenger side of the instrument panel top pad deployment zone. Equipment should not be mounted on or around the passenger airbag opening because of a deploying airbag.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it was designed to carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification/Tire label.
Adding Equipment to Your Vehicle Center of Gravity (CG) Before adding accessories or equipment to your police vehicle, there are some things you need to know: A vehicle's center of gravity is an imaginary location inside the vehicle and is a balance point for the vehicle mass as it moves down the road.
A procedure to make the necessary measurements and formulas to calculate the vehicle longitudinal, lateral and vertical position of the center of gravity can be found in the GM Coachbuilders Manual. Equipment required to conduct the measurements for calculating the center of gravity are: . Weight scales of sufficient capacity to measure the vehicle weight at each wheel. . A post‐type hoist or other means to safely elevate the front of the vehicle to at least an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal.

Wiring Provisions ‐ 12‐Volt Battery Power 15-22
The vehicle is equipped with wiring provisions for a 12-volt battery power supply. Refer to the following information when adding electrical accessories that will use the 12-volt power supply feeds connected to the vehicle's electrical system. The wiring harness is located below the instrument panel near the center of the vehicle. The following information describes the breaker and relay location and provides a wiring diagram to aid in connecting customer equipment.
Electrical Connections Notice: Before modifying or adding any wiring, be sure that it will work properly with your vehicle's wiring system. Because there are so many modifications that can be made for many different bodies and accessories, GM cannot take responsibility for any changes made.
