Severe duty equipment Installation of prisoner barriers may increase the risk of injury to front seat occupants if the vehicle is impacted from the rear at high speeds. This risk should be balanced, by the law enforcement agency, against the risk of injury to the Officer associated with prisoner transport. AIR BAGS Dual driver/passenger air bags and (if equipped) with side air bags affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles. Any surfaces that could come into contact with an air bag, once it has deployed, must not damage the air bag or alter its deployment path. Once the air bag has fully deployed, any peripheral equipment surfaces that could come into contact with the air bag (such as when the air bag deflates with the loading of an occupant) must not damage the air bag or alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could damage the nylon air bag material and reduce the effectiveness of the air bag. Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag module cover or in front of the seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should not be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. Do not mount equipment between the side of front seat to the door trim to block deployment of the side air bag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. Some approximate dimensions for air bags, at full inflation, are provided in Figures 1 through 4. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and represent "free form" deployments without the loading of occupants.

AIR BAGS
Dual driver/passenger air bags and (if equipped) with side air bags affect
the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact with an air bag, once it has
deployed, must not damage the air bag or alter its deployment path.
Once the air bag has fully deployed, any peripheral equipment surfaces
that could come into contact with the air bag (such as when the air bag
deflates with the loading of an occupant) must not damage the air bag or
alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon air bag material and reduce the effectiveness of the air
bag.
Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag
module cover or in front of the seat areas that may come in
contact with a deploying air bag. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury.
Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should not be
placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
Do not mount equipment between the side of front seat to the
door trim to block deployment of the side air bag. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
Some approximate dimensions for air bags, at full inflation, are provided
in Figures 1 through 4. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent “free form” deployments without the loading of occupants. The

mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped
