Q:
How can I identify the airbag "deployment zone"
in my vehicle?
A:
See Airbag Deployment Diagrams on page 1-6
for more information. The diagrams provide the
approximate dimensions of the "deployment zones"
for your specialty vehicle. Before doing any
service work, including the installation of any
equipment, consult the appropriate service manual.
Q:
Is it possible to shield equipment so it does not
interfere with airbag deployment?
A:
While shielding may protect certain equipment from
being damaged or dislodged, it may also negatively
affect how an airbag inflates. Therefore, we cannot
recommend the placement of any equipment in
the deployment zone, even when shielding.
Q:
Can the installation of push bumpers on the
front end of the vehicle affect the deployment
of the airbag?
A:
Yes, particularly if the push bumper significantly
changes the front structure of the vehicle. However,
GM conducts analysis on various push bumper
configurations to verify effectiveness of the sensing
performance system with minor changes in the
front structure of the vehicle which may occur from
the addition of a push bumper.
