•Do not wait more than two minutes between resetting each tire sensor
or the system will time-out and the entire procedure will have to be
repeated on all four wheels.
•A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.
TPMS reset procedure

transceivers, garage door openers and other transmitters whose power
output is 5 watts or less will not ordinarily affect your vehicle’s
operation.)
Because we have no control over the installation, design or manufacture
of such systems, Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse
effects or damage that may result if you use this equipment.
Malfunction of aftermarket electronic equipment should be resolved by
the equipment manufacturer.
Aftermarket equipment installation
Ford has developed aPolice Interceptor Modifier Guideto assist the
vehicle modifier in safely installing police equipment into the vehicle.
The guide provides detailed information on the location of key vehicle
components that must be untouched and warnings for other areas where
caution must be exercised. The Modifier Guide is available for
downloading, free of charge, from www.fleet.ford.com.
When installing aftermarket equipment, avoid using fasteners that are too
long for the application or are in an area which might damage vehicle
components, including wiring, brake lines, fuel tank and lines, powertrain
components, exhaust system and suspension.
Also, do not make electrical connections to vehicle electrical systems not
specifically designed for aftermarket equipment installations. Refer to the
“Wiring Diagram Manual” for electrical system information.
Do not install any components into the powertrain control module
(PCM) or PCM harness. Connecting into this system may affect engine
and transmission operation.
As an example: connection of aftermarket electrical equipment into the
brake light circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the PCM,
anti-lock brake computer, airbag system or any other vehicle system
which will cause vehicle malfunction.
WARNING:Contact during a crash with aftermarket equipment
in a vehicle can result in a personal injury.
WARNING:Installation of prisoner barriers may increase the
risk of injury to front seat occupants if the vehicle is impacted
from the rear at high speeds. This risk should be balanced, by the law
enforcement agency, against the risk of injury to the Officer associated
with prisoner transport.

The fire suppression system is mounted beneath the vehicle and
attached to the frame above and forward of the fuel tank and rear axle.
The fire system control module is mounted inside the passenger
compartment centered underneath the rear seat cushion. The system is
designed to deploy automatically after sensing a high-speed/high-energy
rear end impact.
There is a covered manual activation switch mounted in a console on the
headliner between the visors that can be used by vehicle occupants to
manually deploy the system. The fire suppression system can be
manually deployed any time the key or engine is turned on by pushing
the button underneath the cover. The button can be accessed three
ways:
1. Pushing on the cover will release the cover latch, allowing the door to
swing open and expose the button;
2. The cover can be pulled open;
3. A firm strike on the cover (about 20 lb–ft [89 N•m] of force) will
deploy the system any time the key or engine is turned on.
In the event of a manual deployment, nozzles will deploy to near ground
level and the underbody of the vehicle will be covered with suppressant
fluid. The suppressant contains no hazardous materials (but may cause
minor skin or eye irritation) and can be readily cleaned up by flushing
the underbody with water (or soap and water). Manual deployment
should have no adverse affect on vehicle handling; however, caution
should be exercised in moving the vehicle as ground clearance will be
compromised by the deployed nozzles. Because of reduced ground
clearance, the vehicle should not be driven through an automatic car
wash with nozzles in the deployed condition.
The fire suppression system is a single use system - all major
components will have to be replaced in the event of a manual
deployment.

Figure A
The approved ISO symbol for fire suppression is shown in Figure A. This
symbol is printed on the manual activation switch and on the diagnostic
telltale on the instrument cluster.
The system automatically performs a diagnostic check self check and
momentarily lights the cluster lamp when the key is turned on. If the
diagnostic lamp stays on refer to the appropriate sections of the Ford
service manual for further diagnostic and service procedures.
The system is active any time the key or engine is turned on following
the diagnostic check.
The system has been designed and tested to withstand a 75 mph
(120 km/h) 50% off-set rear impact by Taurus-sized vehicle. However, in
some crashes, including very high-energy crashes, the fire suppression
system could be so damaged by the crash forces that it cannot deploy.
Like any vehicle component, the fire suppression system cannot
withstand any and all crashes. No vehicle can eliminate the risk of fires.
You should not consider the vehicle “fireproof” because it is equipped
with a fire suppression system.
Ballistic door panels (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with ballistic door panels on one or both
of the front doors. Doors equipped with a ballistic panel are marked with
a sticker on the interior door trim panel above the door handle indicating
“BALLISTIC PANEL”. Otherwise, doors with ballistic panels are visually
indistinguishable from standard doors. The ballistic panels are designed
to act as a shield for the officer at the scene of an altercation.
The door panels meet National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level III
protection requirements. NIJ is the research, development, and
evaluation agency within the U. S. Department of Justice. The panels
have been tested and certified by a NIJ approved ballistic testing
laboratory, in accordance with the methodology included in NIJ Standard
0108.01 and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Standard MTD
05-01E.
