Trunk Pack™ and trunk loading
WARNING:Ford recommends that police equipment be both
secured and laterally aligned. Hard, stiff or sharp objects,
especially when not secured or properly located, pose a risk to the fuel
tank and back seat occupants in the event of a high speed rear impact.
After-market organizers that do not adequately deform in rear-impacts
can themselves become injury-producing objects. When locating,
securing and mounting police equipment, please review theTrunk
Equipment Mounting Guide,available on the www.cvpi.com website,
which provides recommended fastener mounting types and locations.
WARNING:Following the trunk packing considerations, also on
the www.fleet.ford.com website, is the most meaningful method
of reducing risk. If your department practice is inconsistent with the
Trunk Packing Considerations, then Ford suggests that you consider
purchasing an optional drop-in Trunk Pack™ to further reduce the risk
of injury resulting from police equipment pushing forward into the
back seat and/or fuel tank in the event of a high-speed rear impact.
The Trunk Pack™ provides more flexibility to officers transporting
police equipment than the trunk packing considerations.
To improve trunk packing by police agencies, Ford has made the
following items available:
•Trunk Pack™ – a drop-in box with a tough plastic shell made of high
density Polyethylene (HDPE). It both aligns police equipment laterally
in the trunk and utilizes a puncture resistant lining on the forward
side of the box to reduce the risk of police equipment penetrating into
the fuel tank and/or back seat in high-speed rear impacts.
•Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide – an outline pattern with
recommended fastener mounting locations in the trunk. The guide can
be found in thePolice Interceptor Modifier Guideand on the
Internet at www.fleet.ford.com.
•Trunk packing considerations – the following guidelines are offered to
reduce the risk of unique police equipment items pushing through the
fuel tank and/or back seat (see our www.fleet.ford.com website for
more details).
Trunk packing considerations
A slogan has been developed to increase police agency awareness of the
importance of trunk packing.

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.

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.

Owners Guide, 3rd Printing
USA(fus)
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.
