Add the proper mixture of coolant and water to the cooling system by
following these steps:
1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant
pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (a translucent plastic bottle).
Slowly turn cap counterclockwise (left) until pressure begins to release.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.
5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture, to
within the COLD FILL RANGE or the FULL COLD level on the reservoir.
If you removed the radiator cap in an overflow system, fill the radiator
until the coolant is visible and radiator is almost full.
6. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss.
After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration (refer
toChecking engine coolant). If the concentration is not 50/50, drain
some coolant and adjust the concentration. It may take several drains
and additions to obtain a 50/50 coolant concentration.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and
distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per
month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system.
Your cooling system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low
level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine
damage.
Recycled engine coolant
Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine
coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate
manner. Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling
and disposing of automotive fluids.
Coolant refill capacity
To find out how much fluid your vehicle’s cooling system can hold, refer
toMaintenance product specifications and capacitiesin this chapter.

7. Train the TPMS sensors in the tires using the following TPMS reset
sequence starting with theleft front tirein the following clockwise
order:
•Left front (Driver’s side front tire)
•Right front (Passenger’s side front tire)
•Right rear (Passenger’s side rear tire)
•Left rear (Driver’s side rear tire)
8.Left front tire:Place the TPMS reset tool against the left front tire
where the tire meets the rim, opposite from the valve stem (1) as shown.
This is where the sensor is located inside the rim.
Both tools, the TPMS training tool (part number 8C2Z-1A203-A)
or the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool (part number
204-363), must be held against the tire sidewall opposite the
valve stem as illustrated. For the TPMS training tool, the device
should be held as illustrated, with the arrow on the tool pointing
towards the rim; do not use the tool with the arrow pointing away
from the rim as it may not activate the sensor.
9. Press and release the activation button while holding either tool to the
side wall until the horn sounds. The horn will sound once within
approximately 10 seconds to indicate the process was successful.
Note:
•If a double horn chirp is heard, repeat the procedure. If a single horn
chirp is not heard, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least a
14-turn and repeat the procedure starting with Step 1.

•If the horn does not sound while attempting to reset any wheel, seek
service from your authorized dealer.
10. Perform Steps 8 and 9 on the right front tire, right rear tire and
finally the left rear tire. Training is complete after the horn sounds for
the last tire trained (left rear tire).
Turn the ignition to off. If two short horn beeps are heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.
If after repeating the procedure and two short beeps are heard when the
ignition is turned to off, seek assistance from your authorized dealer.
Brakes - police
The police vehicle is equipped with heavy duty front disc brake pads to
meet the varying demands of different police service for fade resistance
and other performance requirements.
The police vehicle has standard anti-lock brakes and may be equipped
with traction control.
Brake fluid maintenance
Police pursuits involving hard braking result in very high temperatures in
the brake system, including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated
exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially
reducing its boiling point. A lower boiling point could cause long brake
pedal travel and a loss of braking confidence during subsequent pursuit
driving. Ford recommends that police fleets replace the brake fluid at
every brake pad service interval. Brake fluid may be replaced more
frequently on vehicles involved in frequent high-speed pursuits with
heavy brake usage.
INTERIOR
Heavy duty seats - police
The front seat assemblies, including the seat adjustment mechanisms and
supports, are ruggedly designed and ensure working comfort. An
anti-stab plate is integrated into the seat back to reduce the risk of
officer injury. An adjustable power lumbar system is standard on the
driver’s seat.
Seat belt extenders
Some police departments have begun employing the use of seat belt
extenders to make the practice of buckling and unbuckling seat belts
easier for officers wearing hip mounted radios, side arms, etc.

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.

Removing the panels
It is important that these panels be removed from the vehicle after the
vehicle has been impacted on the protected door, the door has been
shot, or the vehicle is being removed from active duty. For details on
panel removal, refer to the Crown VictoriaWorkshop Manual.After
removal, please contact the following for disposition and recycling
instructions:
Crown North America, Division of Leggett and Platt
43 Gaylord Road Unit #2
St. Thomas, ON, Canada N5P 3R9
866–402–6838
When the panels are removed, the “Ballistic Panel” label affixed to the
door trim panel must also be removed.
AIRBAGS
Dual driver/passenger airbags and side airbags (if equipped) affect the
way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact with an airbag, once it has
deployed, must not damage the airbag or alter its deployment path.
Once the airbag has fully deployed, any peripheral equipment surfaces
that could come into contact with the airbag (such as when the airbag
deflates with the loading of an occupant) must not damage the airbag or
alter its deployment path. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon airbag material and reduce the effectiveness of the
airbag.
WARNING:Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of
the airbag module cover or in front of the seat areas that may
come in contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING:Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should
not be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING:Do not mount equipment between the side of front
seat to the door trim to block deployment of the side airbag.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

Some approximate dimensions for airbags, at full inflation, are provided
in Figures 1 through 5. These dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent “free form” deployments without the loading of occupants. The
shaded areas in Figures 6 through 8 represent available police equipment
mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped
with standard bucket seats. While bench seats are optional and still
appropriate for vehicles with certain limited police equipment
requirements, the standard bucket seats are recommended for vehicles
that require maximum available space for police equipment mounting.
The zone dimensions provided in Figures 6 through 8 are approximate
and will vary with the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone dimensions are approximate
due to different airbag deployment characteristics.
No equipment will mount between the side of the front seat and the
door trim to block deployment of the side airbag.
Figure 1
1. 9.5 inches (240 mm) from center of airbag door
2. 15.7 inches (400 mm) from center of airbag door
3. 28.5 inches (725 mm)
No objects should be placed between the airbags due to airbag
variability.
