2015 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDAN Owners Manual

The safety belt pretensioners and the airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains frontal or
sideways deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints control module to
deploy a safety device or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is
detected by the rollover sensor.
The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or airbags did not activate for
both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is
wrong with the system. Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (such as crash severity, belt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and
near-frontal crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)
unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration.
•The design of the safety belt pretensioners is to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes, and in rollovers.
•The design of the side airbags is to inflate in certain side impact
crashes. Side airbags may activate in other types of crashes if the
vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation.
•The design of the Safety Canopy is to inflate in certain side impact
crashes or rollover events. The Safety Canopy may activate in other
types of crashes if the vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood of rollover.
Airbags and Police Equipment
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.
Dual driver and passenger airbags, side airbags and knee airbags 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.
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. 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. The termICbefore the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater
range. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions
•nearby radio towers
•structures around your vehicle
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by
other short-distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm
systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note:Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note:If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press
any button unintentionally.
REMOTE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If there are problems with the
remote entry system, make sure to
take all remote entry transmitters
with you to the authorized dealer in
order to aid in troubleshooting the
problem.
Replacing the Battery
Note:Refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
