Questions and Answers
About Airbags and
Specialty Law
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
break and become a dangerous
projectile in a crash, causing
injury to the vehicle's occupants.
Also, an object too close to an
inflating airbag could prevent the
airbag from operating properly.
If this ever happens, the airbag
would not be able to protect
occupants the way it was
designed to. To help prevent
injury and to allow the airbag to
perform as it was designed, do
not mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.

3-2 Seats and Restraints
Q: How can I identify the airbag
“deployment zone”in my
vehicle?
A: See Airbag Deployment
Diagrams on page 3‑4for 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: General Motors is not aware of
adverse effects during crash
events from the many push
bumpers that have been
installed on GM police vehicles.
Because there are many styles
of push bumpers available with
varying crash characteristics,
installation of push bumpers may
or may not affect deployment
timing of the airbags. Push
bumpers should be mounted to
avoid modifying the vehicle
structure and interfering with the
front airbag sensors mounted on
the upper radiator support cross
member. Two front impact
sensors are installed in GM
vehicles. Do not relocate of
disconnect the front sensors.
The location and orientation of
the front sensors are critical for
correct operation of the airbag
system. Avoid mounting
components on or near the
sensors. Push bumper styles
with vertical pushing members
that are in fore-aft alignment with
the front airbag sensors are not
recommended.
Q: Is there anything I might add
to the front or sides of the
vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working
properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that
change your vehicle's frame,
bumper system, height, front end
or side sheet metal, they may
keep the airbag system from
working properly. Also, the
airbag system may not work
properly if you relocate any of
the airbag sensors. If you have
any questions about this, you
should contact Customer
Assistance before you modify
your vehicle. The phone
numbers and addresses for
Customer Assistance are in

owner manual. See “Customer
Satisfaction Procedure”in the
owner manual.
The service manual has information
about the location of the airbag
sensors, sensing and diagnostic
module, and airbag wiring. See
“Service Publications Ordering
Information”in the owner manual.
Notices for Customer
Installed Equipment
Read the following notices before
installing equipment on the 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: 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: 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: The police vehicle has
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.
Notice: The police vehicle has
seat‐mounted side impact airbags
for the driver and passenger front
seat positions. Restricting the
cover from opening prevents
proper deployment of the seat‐
mounted side impact airbag. Do
not cover or restrict the seat‐
mounted side impact airbag cover
located on the outboard side of
the seatback.

9-2 Driving and Operating
See “Running the Vehicle While
Parked”in the owner manual. Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)
The vehicle may have a Traction
Control System (TCS) that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The
system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the front wheels
are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, the
system reduces engine power and
may also upshift the transmission
and apply the front brakes to limit
wheel spin.
This light will flash when the TCS is
limiting wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working, but this is
normal.
The TCS is automatically enabled
whenever the vehicle is started. The
system can be turned off, but it will
no longer assist in controlling the
vehicle.
If cruise control is being used when
TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage. Cruise control may be
reengaged when road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control”in owner
manual,
The TCS operates in all
transmission shift lever positions.
But the system can upshift the
transmission only as high as the
shift lever position chosen, so use
the lower gears only when
necessary. See “Automatic
Transmission”in the owner manual.

When the system is on, this warning
light comes on and stays on if there
is a problem.
A SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL
message also appears on the DIC.
When this warning light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly. See
“Messages”under “Ride Control
System”in the owner manual.
To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions, TCS
should always be left on. But the
system can be turned off if needed.
Turn the system off if the vehicle
gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow
and rocking the vehicle is required.
See “If the Vehicle Is Stuck”under
“Driving”in the owner manual.
To disable both traction control and
ESC, press and hold the ESC OFF
button briefly.
When the ESC OFF button is
pressed, the ESC Off light comes
on and PERFORMANCE MODE
displays in the DIC. The TCS is still
active, but limited to driveline
protection only. ESC is also active,
but is limited to high speed pursuit
purposes.
Press the ESC OFF button again to
turn the system back on. The
TRACTION CONTROL ON
message will appear in the DIC.
Adding non-dealer accessories can
affect the vehicle performance. See
“Accessories and Modifications”in
the owner manual.
Electronic Stability
Control (ESC)
Your vehicle may have an Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
which combines antilock brake,
traction, and stability control
systems and helps the driver
maintain directional control of the
vehicle in most driving conditions.
When you first start your vehicle
and begin to drive away, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to ensure there are no problems.
You may hear or feel the system
working. This is normal and does
not mean there is a problem with
your vehicle. The system should
initialize before the vehicle reaches
32 km/h (20 mph).
If the system fails to turn on or
activate due to a fault, the ESC/TCS
light will be on solid, and the
SERVICE STABILITRAK message
will be displayed. If the system fails
to turn on or activate due to it not
initializing, the DIC will display

STABILITRAK INITIALIZING. See
“Messages”under “Ride Control
System”in the owner manual.
This light will flash on the instrument
panel cluster when the ESC system
is both on and activated.
You may also feel or hear the
system working; this is normal.
When the light is on solid and the
SERVICE STABILITRAK message
is displayed, the system will not
assist the driver in maintaining
directional control of the vehicle.
Adjust your driving accordingly. See
“Messages”under “Ride Control
System”in the owner manual.
The Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system is
automatically enabled whenever you
start your vehicle. To assist the
driver with vehicle directional
control, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave
the system on. But, you can turn
ESC off if you ever need to.
If the vehicle is in cruise control
when the system begins to assist
the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle, the ESC/TCS
light will flash and the cruise control
will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to use
cruise again, you may re-engage
the cruise control. See “Cruise
Control”in the owner manual.
The ESC OFF button is located on
the instrument panel.
To disable both traction control and
ESC, press and hold the button
briefly.
When the ESC OFF button is
pressed, the ESC Off light comes
on and PERFORMANCE MODE
displays in the DIC. The TCS is still
active, but limited to driveline
protection only. ESC is also active,
but is limited to high speed pursuit
purposes.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if your vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow,
and you want to “rock”your vehicle
to attempt to free it. It may also be
necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road
conditions where high wheel spin is
required. See “If the Vehicle Is
Stuck”under “Driving”in the owner
manual.

ESC may also turn off automatically
if it determines that a problem exists
with the system. The SERVICE
STABILITRAK message and the
ESC/TCS light will be on solid to
warn the driver that ESC is disabled
and requires service. If the problem

All Impala police vehicles have the
Antilock Brake System (ABS). Many
of the components of the brake
system used on the Impala police
vehicle are unique to the vehicle.
Before doing any service work,
consult the appropriate service
manual.
See “Brakes”in the owner manual
for additional information on the

Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Impala full-size spare includes
a sensor for the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS). The
compact spare tire/wheel, which is
standard with the Impala Police
Package, does not include a TPMS
sensor. The TPMS will not monitor
or display the spare tire air pressure
until the tire/wheel is installed at one
of the four tire/wheel positions on
the vehicle.
Once installed, the spare tire sensor
code must be matched to the new
position on the vehicle. See “Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation”in the
owner manual for information about
matching the spare tire to
the TPMS.
