2010 Mercury Grand Marquis ESP

Conditions
•Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy
at any speed.
•Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately
1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400 lb [180 kg] of weight carried).
•Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug
deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski racks) may reduce
fuel economy.
•Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.
•Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving.
•Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to
driving on hilly terrain.
•Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.
•Close windows for high speed driving.
EPA fuel economy estimates
Every new vehicle should have a sticker on the window called the
Monroney Label which contains EPA fuel economy estimates. Contact
your authorized dealer if the Monroney Label is not supplied with your
vehicle. The EPA fuel economy estimates should be your guide for the
fuel economy comparisons with other vehicles. Your fuel economy may
vary depending upon the method of operation and conditions.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a
catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control components continue to work
properly:
•Use only the specified fuel listed.
•Avoid running out of fuel.
•Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.
•Have the items listed inscheduled maintenance information
performed according to the specified schedule.

Calibrated speedometer - police
Deviations from true road speeds are minimized by a calibrated
speedometer head which gives both miles-per-hour (0–140 mph) and
kilometer-per-hour (0–222 km/h) readings. The speedometer head
assembly accuracy is
2 mph (
3 km/h) over the entire range (at 70°F
[21°C]). The “certified calibration” applies to the head assembly only and
does not apply to the indicated speed of the system, which is affected by
variations in vehicle loading, tire inflation pressures, tire rolling radii and
driveline ratios.
Red/White map light - police (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a red/white map light located in the
headliner between the driver and front seat passenger. A three-position
switch provides either white or night-vision red options. When the rocker
switch is in the center position, the lamp is off. Pressing the left side
(white dot) makes the lamp operate in the white light mode. Pressing
the right side (red dot) makes the lamp operate in the night-vision red
mode.
Mobile communication systems
The Federal Communications Commission regulates the use of mobile
communication systems (such as two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms) that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this
equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules and a
qualified technician should install the equipment. Ford Motor Company
vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and
SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or not
properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause
the engine to stumble or stall and may affect 4R70W transmission
operation. In addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or their
operation affected by operating your vehicle. (Citizen band [CB]
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.
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.

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.
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;
