Airbag Information AIRBAGS Dual driver/passenger airbags and side airbags (if equipped) affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles. Any surfaces that could come into contact with an airbag, once it has deployed, must not damage the airbag or alter its deployment path. Once the airbag has fully deployed, any peripheral equipment surfaces that could come into contact with the airbag (such as when the airbag deflates with the loading of an occupant) must not damage the airbag or alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could damage the nylon airbag material and reduce the effectiveness of the airbag. Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the airbag module cover or in front of the seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying airbag. 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 airbag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. Some approximate dimensions for airbags, at full inflation, are provided in Figures 1 through 5. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and represent "free form" deployments without the loading of occupants. The shaded areas in Figures 6 through 8 represent available police equipment mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped with standard bucket seats. While bench seats are optional and still appropriate for vehicles with certain limited police equipment requirements, the standard bucket seats are recommended for vehicles that require maximum available space for police equipment mounting. The zone dimensions provided in Figures 6 through 8 are approximate and will vary with the loading of occupants in the seats. All airbag and equipment mounting zone dimensions are approximate due to different airbag deployment characteristics. No equipment will mount between the side of the front seat and the door trim to block deployment of the side airbag. 18 2008 Crown Victoria (cro) Supplement USA (fus)

AIRBAGS
Dual driver/passenger airbags and side airbags (if equipped) affect the
way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact with an airbag, once it has
deployed, must not damage the airbag or alter its deployment path.
Once the airbag has fully deployed, any peripheral equipment surfaces
that could come into contact with the airbag (such as when the airbag
deflates with the loading of an occupant) must not damage the airbag or
alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon airbag material and reduce the effectiveness of the
airbag.
Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the airbag
module cover or in front of the seat areas that may come in
contact with a deploying airbag. 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 airbag. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
Some approximate dimensions for airbags, at full inflation, are provided
in Figures 1 through 5. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent “free form” deployments without the loading of occupants. The
shaded areas in Figures 6 through 8 represent available police equipment
mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped
with standard bucket seats. While bench seats are optional and still
appropriate for vehicles with certain limited police equipment
requirements, the standard bucket seats are recommended for vehicles
that require maximum available space for police equipment mounting.
The zone dimensions provided in Figures 6 through 8 are approximate
and will vary with the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone dimensions are approximate
due to different airbag deployment characteristics.
No equipment will mount between the side of the front seat and the
door trim to block deployment of the side airbag.
