2015 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDAN ECU

FLOOR MATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the
foot well of your vehicle. Only use floor mats that leave the pedal
area unobstructed. Only use floor mats that are firmly secured to
retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
•Incorrectly fitted floor mats can cause the accelerator pedal to
become stuck in the open position. This can cause loss of vehicle
control.
•Always correctly install the floor mats to the retention posts so that
they cannot slip out of position or obstruct pedal operation.
•Do not place unsecured floor mats or any other covering in the foot
well.
•Do not place additional floor mats or any other covering on top of
the original floor mats. This will reduce the pedal clearance and
interfere with the pedal operation.
•Do not allow objects to fall or become trapped under the pedals of
your vehicle. This can cause loss of vehicle control.
•Carry out regular inspections to make sure the floor mats are secure.
To install the floor mats, position the floor mat eyelet over the retention
post and press down to lock in position.
Remove in reverse order.

•For police utility, use only SAE Class S snow chains, snow cables or
equivalent on the front axle for 245/55R18 equipped vehicles. The use
of snow chains, snow cables or other traction assist devices that are
larger than SAE Class S may cause damage to your vehicle’s wheel
house, suspension and/or body.
•Do not install tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices on the
rear tires. This could cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house or
body.
•Install cable chains securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
•Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and retighten the cables. If this does not work, remove
the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.
•Remove the tire cables when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire cables on dry roads.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNING:The tire pressure monitoring system is NOT a
substitute for manually checking tire pressure. The tire pressure
should be checked periodically (at least monthly) using a tire gauge.
SeeInflating Your Tiresin this chapter. Failure to properly maintain
your tire pressure could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of control,
vehicle rollover and personal injury.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
