Crown Victoria Severe Duty Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who has their hands restrained behind their body? This is not a normal riding position for an occupant. The effectiveness of the passenger airbag will depend, in part, upon the occupant's seated position. It is recommended that the seat should be adjusted as far rearward as possible for this situation, and that the occupant sit as upright as possible and be properly safety belted. It is recommended that such passengers be properly restrained in the rear seat if at all possible. Can conditions encountered in aggressive pursuit driving situations (e.g., high speed braking, uneven road surfaces) cause inadvertent inflation of an airbag that might result in loss of vehicle control? No. Aggressive pursuit driving conditions do not fit this criteria. Airbags are designed to deploy in moderate to major frontal crashes based on the detection of sudden deceleration by sensors in the vehicle. 297 2011 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
