Installation Considerations 3-7Section 3: Installation ConsiderationsConsole Design and InstallationRestraint Control Module (RCM)The restraint control module (RCM) is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument panel.The RCM orientation is critical for proper operation of the restraint systems. Do not use the RCMmounting bolts for attachment purposes of any equipment.Air Bag Deployment InterferenceWARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag modulecover or in front seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying air bag. Dash, tunnelor console-mounted equipment should be placed within the specified zone. Dash, tunnel orconsole-mounted equipment should not be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure tofollow these instructions may result in personal injury.WARNING: Do not mount equipment between the side of the front seat and the doortrim that would block deployment of the side air bag. Failure to follow these instructionsmay result in personal injury.Driver/passenger air bags affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles. Anysurfaces that could come into contact with an air bag during deployment must not damage the airbag or alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could damage the nylon airbag material and reduce the effectiveness of the air bag. Do not mount or place any objects in thedeployment path of an air bag. Air bags must be allowed to fully deploy without restriction. Thedeployment of air bags is not compatible with any configuration of police equipment mounting thatplaces objects in the air bag deployment path. Equipment mounted or placed in the deploymentarea of an air bag will reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, damage the air bag and potentiallydamage or dislodge the equipment.Air bag deployment drawings are provided in Section 5. Consult the drawings before equipment isinstalled inside the passenger compartment to make sure that the mounted equipment does notinterfere with air bag deployment.Fire Suppression SystemThe fire suppression system works on similar principles as the restraints system. When installingadditional equipment, caution must be taken not to interfere with the fire suppression systemcomponents.2007 Police Interceptor Modifier Guide, 2006
