GM Service Manual Online
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: Equipment mounted to the instrument panel top pad must not exceed 8.0 lb (3.6 kg).

Notice: In order not to restrict upward movement of the driver's side instrument panel top pad when the airbag deploys, equipment should be securely mounted only to the top pad.

Notice: Do not place equipment on the passenger's side of the instrument panel top pad because the edge of it rises when the airbag deploys.

Notice: Passenger airbag contacts inside rearview mirror at the beginning of deployment. Video cameras and other small equipment should be securely mounted outside the airbag 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: Avoid installing wiring for roof-rail emergency lighting or radio antennas that may restrict the proper deployment of the roof-rail airbags.
