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 "Ballistic Panel" 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. WARNING: 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. WARNING: 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. WARNING: 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 288 2011 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
