Equipment categories and placement
It is recognized that a wide variety of equipment is carried in the trunks of
police vehicles as noted above. This section addresses the inherent risks of
various types of equipment in the event of a high-speed rear impact.
This information is divided into three categories:
•Carrying not recommended
•Carry with caution
•Low risk items
WARNING: Carrying not recommended – The following
items have been observed in police vehicles and should
not be transported in a vehicle trunk– containers with gasoline,
loose ammunition, loose flares, loose fire extinguisher(s), loose 4-point
lug wrench, loose crowbars, loose axes and other loose equipment with
potential puncture capability in high speed rear end collisions.
Carry with caution –These items will require special packing or
mounting consideration and possibly use of the Trunk Pack™ as an
additional level of safety. Examples include (with proposed orientation):
fire extinguisher (fixed), lug wrench 4–point (fixed - vertical), rolotape
measuring wheel (fixed - vertical), safety flares (lateral orientation – in a
container), stop stick (lateral - mount on deck lid inner panel), shovel
(lateral - place at rear of trunk), shotgun and rifle (lateral - store in
case), baton (lateral - place at rear of trunk), ammunition (container).
Flares should be placed in a protective storage container (preferably soft
sided plastic). Flares with spikes attached should be laterally oriented in
the trunk area.
1.Spare tire special considerations –The safest location for the
spare tire, jack and lug wrench is the production location on the forward
package shelf above the rear axle. If unable to mount there, the next
safest location for the spare tire is mounted vertically inside the Trunk
Pack™ using the J-bolt attachment device provided with the Trunk
Pack™. The jack and lug wrench should be stored in the rearward
compartment of the Trunk Pack™.

2.Electronic Equipment –The safest location for the electronic
equipment is on the trunk forward package shelf. Some equipment can
be mounted in the side shelf areas, but it must not protrude into the fuel
tank area in a crash (noted in Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide). The
optional Complete Police Prep Package is available to facilitate packaging
of electronic components with a sliding tray for the forward package
shelf and side compartments in the right and left shelf area. All
equipment should be located and mounted using theTrunk Equipment
Mounting Guidefor proper positioning of fasteners. This guide can be
accessed on the www.fleet.ford.com website. The sliding tray can also be
used, depending on size, to properly store parts with rigid and sharp
edges.
3.Ammunition –The safest location for ammunition is the forward
package shelf and on the side shelves. It is recommended that a plastic
storage container be utilized and mounted using theTrunk Mounting
Equipment Guidefor proper fastener locations. It is also recommended
that ammunition remain in the purchased container and be placed in a
safe storage container.
Low risk items –These items are soft in feel and pose a low risk of
trunk wall, rear seat area, and fuel tank puncture. Examples are: a soft
camera case, biohazard kit in plastic boxes, gloves, safety rope, tow
strap, traffic cones & sleeves, rain gear, riot gear (soft), emergency
blankets, bullet resistant vest, tie straps, cloth tape, garment bags, first
responder kit, Res-Q-Flo mask (placed in garment bag), fuses (plastic
container), briefcase, notebooks, spray bottles, helmet, and jumper
cables. It is not essential but recommended that the Trunk Pack™ can
be considered for organization of low risk items, especially if mixed with
“Carry With Caution”items.
BODY
Fire suppression system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional fire suppression system.
The fire suppression system is designed to help reduce the risk of injury
in high-speed rear impacts. The fire suppression system deploys
chemicals designed to slow the spread of fire or potentially extinguish a
fire, thereby providing more time for occupants to escape from a crashed
vehicle.
