Crown Victoria Severe Duty The above illustration is an outside view of the left front door. The shaded area represents the area covered by the ballistic door panel. Removing the panels It is important that these panels be removed from the vehicle after the vehicle has been impacted on the protected door, the door has been shot, or the vehicle is being removed from active duty. For details on panel removal, refer to the Crown Victoria shop manual. After removal, please contact the following for disposition and recycling instructions: Crown North America, Division of Leggett and Platt 43 Gaylord Road Unit #2 St. Thomas, ON, Canada N5P 3R9 866-402-6838 When the panels are removed, the ЉBallistic PanelЉ label affixed to the door trim panel must also be removed. 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. 288 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
