For 1990-2009 cars only

Read the following notices before installing equipment on your specialty vehicle.

Notice: GM-approved service procedures must be followed to remove and reinstall the instrument panel to the pad in order to ensure proper airbag deployment.

Notice: Do not mount equipment on the passenger side of the instrument panel top pad deployment zone. Equipment should not be mounted on or around the passenger airbag opening because of a deploying airbag. To allow the airbag to perform as it was designed, do not mount equipment inside the airbag deployment zone.

Notice: Your police vehicle may have optional roof-rail airbags. Do not mount a security barrier such that the ends of the barrier or brackets are within the roof-rail deployment zones.

Notice: Your police vehicle may have roof-rail airbags and a rollover sensor. The rollover sensor is mounted on the centerline of the vehicle between the driver and right front passenger positions. If your vehicle has bucket seats, the rollover sensor will be exposed. Do not mount equipment within 25 mm (1 in) of the rollover sensor. This may affect the performance of the airbag system. To allow the airbags to perform as they are designed, do not mount equipment near this area.

Notice: Avoid installing wiring for roof-rail emergency lighting or radio antennas that may restrict the proper deployment of the roof-rail airbags.
