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.”
Q: What is the airbag “deployment zone”?
A: The term “deployment zone”describes the space an
airbag takes up when fully inflated. Airbags need
room to work properly, and anything in the
“deployment zone” — such as improperly mounted
equipment —can greatly affect the performance of
the airbag.
{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

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. 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.
