Note to User:

As part of our mission to provide an up-to-date website that includes detailed Body Builder
Manuals, Technical Bulletins, and Best Practice Manuals, we are now using sectional excerpts
directly from the General Motors Service Information publications for our Electrical Body
Builder Manuals.

You will note that the section numbers are non-sequential as we have provided only those that
are believed to be the most pertinent to the Upfitter community and best suited to their
needs*.

This new usage of the Service Information provides the opportunity for us to remain consistent
with the changes that take place throughout the model year and to provide you updated
information in a timelier fashion.

Enforcement Vehicles

Q: Can equipment such as radar

devices, video cameras, and
radio trees be mounted in a
specialty vehicle equipped
with a right front passenger
frontal airbag?

A: Yes, but care must be taken to

properly mount the equipment
outside of the airbag
“deployment zone.”

Q: What is the airbag

“deployment zone”?

A: The term “deployment zone”

describes the space an airbag
takes up when fully inflated.
Airbags need room to work
properly, and anything in the
“deployment zone” — such as
improperly mounted equipment
— can greatly affect the
performance of the airbag.

Warning

{

Airbags inflate with great force,
faster than the blink of an eye. No
objects, such as shotguns, should
be placed over or near the airbag
covers. Equipment mounted too
close to an inflating airbag could
prevent the airbag from operating
properly to protect the occupants
or could be forced into an
occupant or break and become a
dangerous projectile, causing
severe injury or even death. To
help prevent injury and to allow
the airbag to perform as it was
designed, do not mount
equipment inside the airbag
deployment zones.

Q: How can I identify the airbag

“deployment zone” in my
vehicle?

A: See Airbag Deployment

Diagrams 0 6 for more
information. The diagrams
provide the approximate
dimensions of the “deployment
