Questions and Answers
About Airbags andSpecialty Law Enforcement Vehicles
Q: Can equipment such as radar devices, video cameras, andradio trees be mounted in aspecialty vehicle equippedwith a right front passenger
frontal airbag?A: Yes, but care must be taken
to properly mount theequipment outside of theairbag “deployment zone.”
Q: What is the airbag“deployment zone”?
A: The term “deployment zone”
describes the space an airbagtakes up when fully inflated. Airbags need room to workproperly, and anything in the“deployment zone” — suchas improperly mountedequipment — can greatly affectthe 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. Equipmentmounted too close to an inflatingairbag could break and become adangerous projectile in a crash,causing injury to the vehicle'soccupants. Also, an object too
close to an inflating airbag couldprevent the airbag from operatingproperly. If this ever happens,the airbag would not be able toprotect occupants the way it wasdesigned to. To help preventinjury and to allow the airbag toperform as it was designed, donot mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.
Q: How can I identify the airbag“deployment zone” in myvehicle?
A: See Airbag Deployment Diagrams on page 3 ‑ 5 for moreinformation. The diagramsprovide the approximatedimensions of the “deploymentzones” for your specialty vehicle.Before doing any service work,including the installation of anyequipment, consult theappropriate service manual.
Q: Is it possible to shieldequipment so it does notinterfere with airbagdeployment?
A: While shielding may protectcertain equipment from beingdamaged or dislodged, it mayalso negatively affect how anairbag inflates. Therefore,we cannot recommend theplacement of any equipmentin the deployment zone,even when shielding.
Q: Can the installation of pushbumpers on the front endof the vehicle affect thedeployment of the airbag?
A: General Motors is not aware of adverse effects during crashevents from the many pushbumpers that have beeninstalled on GM police vehicles.Because there are many stylesof push bumpers available withvarying crash characteristics,installation of push bumpers
may or may not affectdeployment timing of theairbags. Push bumpers shouldbe mounted to avoid modifyingthe vehicle structure andinterfering with the front airbagsensors mounted on the upper radiator support cross member.

Two front impact sensors areinstalled in GM vehicles. Do notrelocate of disconnect the frontsensors. The location and
orientation of the front sensorsare critical for correct operationof the airbag system. Avoidmounting components on or near the sensors. Push bumper styles with vertical pushingmembers that are in fore-aftalignment with the front airbagsensors are not recommended.
Q: Is there anything I might addto the front or sides of thevehicle that could keep theairbags from working
properly?
A: Yes. If you add things thatchange your vehicle's frame,bumper system, height, front endor side sheet metal, they maykeep the airbag system fromworking properly. Also, theairbag system may not workproperly if you relocate any of
the airbag sensors. If you haveany questions about this, youshould contact Customer Assistance before you modifyyour vehicle. The phonenumbers and addresses for Customer Assistance are inStep Two of the Customer Satisfaction Procedures in theowner manual. See “Customer Satisfaction Procedure” in theowner manual Index.
The service manual has informationabout the location of the airbagsensors, sensing and diagnosticmodule, and airbag wiring.
See “Service PublicationsOrdering Information” in theowner manual.

9-2 Driving and Operating
When the automatic transmissionis in P (Park), the driver's foot is off the brake, and the emergencyequipment is turned on, the engine
rpm may increase to 1,200 rpm tokeep the electrical power of thevehicle at a steady rate. Even withthe extra power boost, the vehiclemay stall after long periods of timewith a heavy electrical load.
See “Running the Vehicle WhileParked” in the Driving andOperating section of the owner
manual for more information.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)The vehicle may have a TractionControl System (TCS) that limitswheel spin. This is especially usefulin slippery road conditions. Thesystem operates only if it sensesthat one or both of the front wheelsare spinning or beginning to losetraction. When this happens, the
system reduces engine power andmay also upshift the transmissionand apply the front brakes to limitwheel spin.
This light will flash when the TCS islimiting wheel spin.
The system may be heard or feltwhile it is working, but this isnormal.
The TCS is automatically enabled
whenever the vehicle is started. Thesystem can be turned off, but it willno longer assist in controlling thevehicle.
If cruise control is being used whenTCS begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control will automaticallydisengage. Cruise control may bereengaged when road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control” in theowner manual.
The TCS operates in alltransmission shift lever positions.But the system can upshift thetransmission only as high as theshift lever position chosen, souse the lower gears only whennecessary. See “ Automatic
Transmission” in the owner manual.
