SPECIAL SERVICE OPTIONS
The Explorer is not designed nor intended to be used as a pursuit
vehicle or an ambulance.
Your vehicle’s optional equipment is designed to meet Ford Corporate
Product Standards. However, the equipment does not meet corporate
guidelines relative to police packages. Therefore, the optional equipment
is only intended for use in limited law enforcement service. Use of DSO
special service options does not imply nor allow use of your Explorer as
a pursuit vehicle (excessive speed), nor as an ambulance..
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Important equipment installation information
When installing aftermarket equipment, avoid using fasteners that are too
long for the application or are in an area that might damage other
vehicle components (i.e., electrical wiring, brake lines, fuel tank and
lines, powertrain components, exhaust system, suspension, etc.).
When installing aftermarket equipment to the roof, be sure to locate
wires between the headliner and the roof before drilling. This will
prevent damage to the wire harness or interior headliner.
Do not make any electrical connections to the vehicle’s electrical system
at a point not specifically designed for installation of aftermarket
electrical equipment.
Do not install aftermarket equipment into the brake light circuit or any
other electrical circuit which is connected to the powertrain control
module (PCM), anti-lock brake system (ABS), air bag supplemental
restraint system (SRS) or transmission. Connecting into these systems
may affect engine and transmission operation and may cause vehicle
malfunction.
Do not install aftermarket equipment near the air bag deployment zones.
Failure to do so may inhibit the functioning of the supplemental restraint
system in the event of a collision. Refer toAir bag deployment zonesin
this chapter.
Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag
cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front
seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision.
