Introduction

Introduction
Ford Motor Company has assembled this Police Interceptor Modifier Guide to assist vehicle modifiers in producing safe and quality products.
Ford believes that safety and quality come first. To achieve customer satisfaction, we want to assist modifiers in achieving the highest
standards of safety and quality in their products.
This book is divided into topics pertinent to modifiers of police vehicles. Reference is made to the current Explorer and Taurus Workshop
Manual for appropriate service procedures, torque specifications, component separation clearances and other standard information which is
common with the unmodified vehicle. Specifications which are unique to the guide are designated.
This modifier guide is not a "how-to" book; it should be used as a checklist to help make sure that certain important steps in the modification
process are considered. While Ford is providing this information to assist modifiers, it does not warrant the products, methods, materials or the
workmanship of the modifier. Nor does it warrant against failures that result from the modification of a vehicle.
Following the guidelines contained in this guide it does not assure individual modifiers that the products they modify comply with U.S. Federal
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect at the time of the modification. The guidelines set forth are based on engineering
analyses of typical police vehicles. If followed, the modifier's efforts in certifying vehicles to applicable standards should be aided. Compliance
testing that may be required for certification of specific vehicle configurations or construction is, however, the sole responsibility of the
individual modifier.
The only model suitable for use in police service is the pursuit-rated Police Interceptor.

Important Safety Notice

NOTE:
The descriptions and specifications contained in this guide were in effect at the time this manual was approved for printing. Ford Motor
Company reserves the right to discontinue models at any time, or change specifications or design without notice and without incurring
obligation.

Appropriate repair methods and procedures are essential for the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles as well as the personal safety of
the individual doing the work. This manual provides general directions and guidelines for performing modifications to the Police Interceptor.
Following them will help assure reliability.
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for modifying vehicles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing
the work. This manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who
departs from the instructions provided in this manual must first establish that he or she compromises neither his or her personal safety nor the
vehicle integrity by his or her choice of methods, tools or parts.

Notes, Notices and Warnings


As you read through this guide, you will come across NOTES, NOTICES and WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose. NOTES
give you added information that will help you to complete a particular procedure. NOTICES are given to prevent you from making an error that
could damage the vehicle. WARNINGS remind you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness can cause you personal injury.
The following list contains some general warnings that you should follow when you work on a vehicle.

WARNING:

• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


• Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
• Make sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by the procedure.
• Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. The gear selector should be set in PARK unless instructed otherwise for a
specific operation. Place wood blocks (4 inch x 4 inch or larger) against the front and rear surfaces of the tires to help prevent
the vehicle from moving.
• Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is running, especially the drive belts.
• To reduce the risk of serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tailpipe, catalytic
converter and muffler.
• Do not smoke while working on a vehicle.
• To reduce the risk of injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and loose clothing before beginning to work
on a vehicle.
• When it is necessary to work under the hood, keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades and belts.
• Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Making Safety Devices and Elements Inoperative


The vehicle contains many safety features required by Federal or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. These features, which include
the key-in-ignition chime and brake lights, should never be disabled or modified.
CFR 49 Section 30122 states that "A manufacturer, distributor, dealer or motor vehicle repair business may not knowingly make inoperative
any part of a device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in compliance with an applicable motor
vehicle safety standard prescribed under this chapter unless the manufacturer, distributor, dealer or repair business reasonably believes the
vehicle or equipment will not be used (except for testing or a similar purpose during maintenance or repair) when the device or element is
inoperative."

Police Vehicle Definition


The Police Interceptor vehicle is put through twice as many cycles of Ford's standard vehicle durability tests to make sure it meets the rigors of
police usage. This vehicle testing is in addition to substantial component durability testing. This extra testing for the Police Interceptor certifies
to Ford the entire vehicle is "heavy-duty" and suitable for police usage.

1-16 General Information

Section 1: General Information

A formalized Process and Quality Assurance system may be helpful in consistently producing high quality products. An overview of some of
the key items for such a system are outlined in this section.

Quality Assurance
Completed Unit Sign-Off: All control items should be inspected with a written sign-off. All labels should be inspected and signed off, including
verification the information on the labels is correct. All appropriate systems should be checked for leaks. A road test should be performed to
verify that all systems are operating correctly. All systems and functions that were provided by Ford should be checked to make sure they
function correctly after the build process.
The modifier's Process and Quality Assurance Systems should also assure that appropriate training is provided to the employees.

Minimum And Maximum Screw Sizes


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.

New Vehicle Storage


New Vehicle Storage — General
• Vehicle should be stored in a dry, ventilated place, and protected from sunlight, if possible.
• If vehicle is stored outside, maintenance against rust and damage, as described below, is recommended.

NOTICE:
Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.

New Vehicle Storage — Body


• Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from exterior surfaces and underside of front fender.
• Periodically wash if vehicle is stored in exposed locations.
• Touch up exposed raw or primed metal to provide rust protection.
• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent discoloration. Rewax as necessary when the vehicle is
washed.
• Lubricate all hood, door hinges and latches with a light grade oil.
• Cover the interior soft trim to prevent fading.

New Vehicle Storage — Engine


• Start the engine every 15 days. Run it at fast idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
• With foot on brake pedal (and brake applied), shift the transmission into all gears while the engine is running.

New Vehicle Storage — Fuel System


• Regularly move vehicle short distances to mix fuel anti-oxidation agents.

NOTE:
During extended periods of vehicle storage (60 days or more), gasoline may deteriorate due to oxidation. This can damage rubber and other
polymers in the fuel system and may clog small orifices. A commercially available gasoline fuel stabilizer (Sta-Bil or equivalent) should be
added to gasoline-powered vehicles whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed 60 days. The manufacturer's instructions packaged
with the product should be followed. The vehicle should then be operated at an idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the fuel system.

New Vehicle Storage — Tires


Most high performance tires are made with nylon overlay.
As such, the following steps should be taken to avoid flat spotting when the vehicle is not used for a period of time.

• Keep the vehicles tire pressure at the recommended operating pressure.


• If the vehicle is stored for a period longer than 15 days, it should be moved several feet during each 15-day period. The vehicle should be
parked after being moved so that a different portion of the tread contacts the ground.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Principles of Operation


The TPMS monitors the tire pressure using 4 valve stem mounted TPMS sensors to provide accurate tire pressures. Each individual sensor
contains its own battery and transmits tire pressure data to the controlling module every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h
(20 mph). The TPM module is a radio receiver that collects the tire pressure data and relays the information via the MS-CAN to the BCM. All of
the TPMS functions are controlled by the BCM. The TPMS sensors are trained to the BCM, which records each TPMS sensors unique
identifier. The BCM records where each TPMS sensor is located based on the training order and compares the actual tire pressure with the
desired tire pressure as indicated on the Vehicle Certification label. If the tire pressure deviates from the desired tire pressure the BCM, using
the HS-CAN, signals the IPC to illuminate the TPMS warning indicator and also displays a message on the message center. The programmed
tire pressure cannot be changed.
This vehicle, as delivered by Ford Motor Company, conforms to Standard FMVSS138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.
This system may not function if any of the following components are removed, relocated or modified in any way:

• Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wheels and tires


• Tire pressure sensors or valve stems
• Body Control Module (BCM)
• Body Control Module (BCM) software and calibrations
• Tire Pressure Module (TPM)
• Instrument Cluster (IC) module
• Instrument Cluster (IC) software and calibrations
• Vehicle wheelbase longer than originally released

Certain modification could cause reduced system performance, up to and including the complete loss of TPMS functionality. This may include:
If concerns are present on a Utility Intercepter please reference police modifier bulletin P-018 located at www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-
html/2013/P-018.pdf

• Non-OEM wheels or tires


• The addition of steel carcass or run-flat tires
• Modification of the vehicle's recommended tire pressure
• Lengthening of the vehicle's wheelbase may affect signal strength of the sensors to a point where the rear sensors can no longer be
heard by the TPM module. (Vehicles certified at released wheelbases only)
• The addition of metallic structures, such as prisoner partitions, may affect the signal strength of the sensors and could interfere or prevent
the TPM module from hearing the rear sensors.
• The addition of intended or unintended transmitters to the vehicle may affect the signal strength of the sensors or interfere with the TPM
module's antenna

The TPMS, as delivered from the Ford Motor Company, complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following 2 conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and


• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Ambient Temperature Change and Tire Pressure

NOTICE:
Do not inflate tire higher than maximum pressure stamped on tire sidewall. Premature tire wear or damage to the tire may result.

Tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes. For this reason, tire pressure must be set to specification when tires are at outdoor
ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is allowed to warm up to shop temperatures, and the outside temperature is less than shop temperature,
the tire inflation pressure must be adjusted accordingly.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
General Information 1-21

Section 1: General Information

If the tires are inflated to specification at shop temperatures, and the vehicle is moved outdoors when the outdoor ambient temperature is
significantly lower, the tire pressure may drop enough to be detected by the TPMS and activate the TPMS warning lamp.
As the ambient temperature decreases by 6°C (10°F), tire pressure decreases 7 kPa (1 psi). Adjust the tire pressure by 7 kPa (1 psi) for each
6°C (10°F) ambient temperature drop as necessary to keep the tire at the specified vehicle certification label pressure. Refer to the following
tables to adjust the tire pressure indoors for colder outside temperatures.

Section 2: Electrical
Electrical Basics
Inside a vehicle, electricity is supplied through "hot" wires, comparable to the pressurized supply pipes of a plumbing system. At various points
along the wires are outlets in the form of lights, switches and receptacles. Turning on a light switch is somewhat like opening a faucet to let
water run — an electric current flows through the hot wire to make the light glow. Once the electricity has done its work, its potential drops to
zero, just as water loses pressure after flowing through a sink or laundry tub. The electrical system has "drains" — which are the ground wires
that return the current to its source just as a plumbing system has drain pipes through which water runs into the sewer mains or the ground.
The light or equipment powered by the current, technically called the load, can be compared to a water wheel that remains motionless until a
stream of water causes it to turn. A load may be one of two kinds. The first consists of a resistance — a material that permits the passage of
electric current, but only with difficulty, and thereby creates heat. The tungsten filament of an incandescent bulb is resistance; so is the heating
element of an electric heater of a coffee pot. A load may also be an inductance — typically a motor with windings of copper wire, in which the
magnetic fields generated by the current create motion. At any moment, the demand on an electrical system depends on the number of loads
in operation and their consumption of energy, just as demand on a water system depends on how many faucets are opened and how wide
they are opened.
The mechanics and physical fittings of the system are simple. Current moves throughout the vehicle in wires of different sizes, according to
the current a circuit may have to carry. Power is supplied directly to equipment through connectors.

Electrical Terms
VOLT is the unit of electrical potential, equal to the difference of electrical potential between two points on a circuit.
AMPERE is the unit used to measure the amount of current - that is, the number of electrically charged particles called electrons - that flows
past a given point on a circuit each second. It is similar to measuring the amount of water flowing through a pipe at any given point. The larger
the pipe is, the more water that can flow past the point per second. Similarly, the bigger the wire is, the more current that can flow through it at
any given point. Current that has lost its voltage still has amperage as it completes the circuit and returns to the battery.
WATT is the unit of power. It indicates that rate at which a device converts electric current to another form of energy, either heat or motion, or
to put it another way, the rate at which a device consumes energy.
The relationship of volts, amperes and watts to one another is expressed in a simple equation that enables you to make any calculations you
may need for proper and safe electrical modifications to the vehicle. Volts x amperes = watts. If the current is at 12 volts and a device requires
4 amperes of current, the equation will read 12 volts x 4 amperes = 48 watts.
To figure the current needed for a device rated in watts, turn the equation around: watts/volts = amperes. For example, if you have a piece of
equipment, such as a communications radio, that uses 120 watts: 120 watts/12 volts = 10 amperes.

General Guidelines For Vehicle Modification


• Provide circuit protection (fuses) for all wiring. The fuse rating should not exceed either the rated wiring current capacity or the total
current requirements for all the add-on components on the circuit. Install fuses as close to the point of tapped power as possible.
• Document all revisions to the electrical system and place with the vehicle Owner's Literature. Color code and/or label all revisions or
additions to wiring.
• Provide protective covering in all areas that could be damaged during normal equipment installations.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable of vehicles stored on site to reduce the possibility of draining the battery by lights or other
equipment.
• Do not allow control panels attached to the instrument panel to protrude into the driver and passenger air bag deployment zones. For
additional information, refer to Section 5: Reference Information in this guide.
• Do not install switches and gauges in the driver or passenger knee impact areas.
• Inspect all Ford gauges, lights and switches for correct operation after instrument panel work is performed.
• Properly secure any relocated or removed wiring while working behind the instrument panel to prevent chafing, squeaks and rattles.
• Provide adequate retention for wiring harnesses so that they are clear of bolts, corners or edges which could abrade the wires during
normal vehicle operation.
• Anticipate incorrectly routed wiring situations and protect all wiring from penetration by screws and raw edges.
• Weather-seal all electrical connectors exposed to the elements.
• Do not use quick splice connectors or wire nuts.
• Install the fuse panel so fuses are readily accessible.
• Make sure that connections are easily accessible for assembly and service.
• Make sure submersible connectors do not lose their seals under extreme assembly conditions such as bending wires 90 degrees
immediately after the connector.
• Whenever using connectors, use a socket (female) connector on the electrical source side and a plug (male) connector on the electrical
load side to reduce the possibility of a short circuit when disconnected.
• Air bag restraint systems must remain intact as received from Ford Motor Company. Before any vehicle modifications are performed, the
system must be disarmed by following the instructions provided in the current Workshop Manual.
• Adherence to the above guidelines is not to be construed as approval by Ford Motor Company of any specific revisions or additions to
the vehicle's original electrical system.

Upfitter Sealing Pass-Through Points/Openings


Aftermarket upfit modification of Sedan Police Interceptor and Utility Police Interceptor vehicles can result in openings that allow external air
and its contents to enter the vehicle that have not been sealed to original design intent.

Keep-Alive Memory Power


The electronic engine and transmission control modules require battery power to be supplied at all times in order to maintain the keep-alive
memory. Keep this in mind when installing load disconnect switches or solenoids.

Equipment Grounding Guidelines


• Do not ground the body to the transmission or transmission cross-member. Ground accessories to the chassis or the vehicle battery.
• Splicing into circuitry relating to the electronic engine and/or transmission control systems is not acceptable because of the adverse effect
on the electronic system operation.
• Adequately protect electrical connections exposed to the elements.

Wire Insulation
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), rated at 90°C (194°F), is the standard wire insulation that is acceptable for inside body use but is not
acceptable for under hood/under body wiring.
• Hypalon insulation should be used on links only (Ford Specification ESB-M1L54-A).
• Cross-linked Polyethylene (XPLPE or SXL), rated at 135°C (275°F), is the required insulation for under hood/underbody applications
(Ford Specification ESB-M1L123-A).
• GXL can be used as an alternate wire (Ford Specification ESB-M7L85B) as long as the concentricity specifications are met. To provide a
water-resistant seal in conjunction with crimp connectors, a Duraseal crimp connector is recommended since it is designed to account for
outside wire diameter that is smaller than the present SXL wire.

Terminals and Connectors


Connector Types

• Submersible (Sealed) — A connector that is capable of being immersed in water.


• Weather-resistant — A connector that will retain its sealing and connection qualities while being exposed to adverse weather conditions.
• Duraseal crimp — A supplier trade name for a sealed wiring repair or splice.

When a connection is not defined (typical situation — harness-to-harness connectors), the following suggestions should be implemented:

• Determine the connector type. If it will be located in a hostile environment, use a submersible (sealed) connector; if not, use an open
connector. A hostile environment is defined as being exposed to water and/or salt accumulation and/or high temperatures (i.e., under
hood, exterior panels and footwells). Use in-line connectors with secondary locks to prevent the terminal from being pushed out.
— Do not use single wires smaller than 14-gauge in a 2-way or larger weather-resistant connector (the very large style), since the wire may
break during disengagement.
— Use Hypalon, XLPE or Elexar insulation in submersible connectors to maintain sealing integrity. PVC is not acceptable because cold flows
and allows setting in a deformed pattern, therefore compromising the integrity of the seal.

• Determine the terminal type. Base your decision on wire gauge, current carrying capacity, connector type and insulation type.
— Use non-detent low insertion force terminals whenever possible.
— Do not use low insertion force female terminals in weather-resistant connectors.
— Analyze circuit requirements (signal levels, current, voltage) to determine the proper plating material (such as gold). Use of non-plated
terminals is not recommended.
— Do not use plugs to seal holes in micropin connector grommets. It is very easy to forget to insert them during manufacturing and ruin the
seal. Only use a grommet with the necessary number of holes or use dummy wires at least 600 mm (24 in) long.
— Fully align connectors prior to terminal connection — terminal cavities should have minimum tolerance to prevent terminals from floating,
bending or pin push-out during mating/engagement.
— Make sure connectors of similar type and color are identifiable to the operator to eliminate crossed connections and minimize assembly
time. Avoid using similar types and colors of connectors close together.
— Be sure that connectors have positive locking devices that allow easy installation with a low insertion force and easy removal. The
connector snap should be easily felt and heard.
— Eliminate the use of edgeboard, tang-type and molded-over connectors. The use of blade-type weather-resistant connectors is restricted
to high current applications which cannot be handled by submersible connectors.

Circuit Protection and Electrical Load


• Modification to existing vehicle wiring should be done only with caution and careful consideration of effects on the completed vehicle's
electrical system. Anticipated circuitry should be studied to determine the required circuit protection and to avoid feedback loops.
• Added circuitry must be protected either by a base vehicle fuse or circuit breaker, or by a similar device supplied by the modifier.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Electrical 2-15

Section 2: Electrical

• When adding loads to a base vehicle-protected circuit, make sure that the total electrical load through the base vehicle fuse or circuit
breaker is less than the device's load rating.
• Use 80% of the fuse rating to determine maximum steady state load to reduce nuisance fuse failures.
• Use 135% of the fuse rating when sizing wiring to protect the circuit in the event of an overload. Fuses will last for 1 hour at 135% of their
rating.
— Total current draw is the sum of the base vehicle's circuit current requirement (measured with an ammeter) and the anticipated add-on
component current requirements.
— Never increase the rating of a factory installed fuse or circuit breaker.
— If the total electrical load including additional electrical components, on any circuit, is less than the fuse protection rating or the capacity of
some limiting component (switch, relay), the items to be added can be connected directly to that circuit. The headlamp switch circuits
should never have additional lighting or electrical components directly connected.
— Added devices that exceed the current capabilities of the factory-installed system are best controlled through the use of a relay or
separate switch. The coil of the relay can be fed from the circuit in the factory harness (now acting as a signal circuit) with added wiring
providing feeds to the added electrical device. The relay selection is important and depends on current requirements, number of cycles
expected in the relay lifetime, whether the relay is to be operated intermittently or for long periods of time and whether the relay is exposed
to weather conditions or is installed in a protected area. When the current requirements of a circuit exceed the capacity of an available
relay, the load should be reduced or divided through the use of additional relays.

Wire Protection Requirements


General Notes:

• Anticipate any potential problems and design accordingly to accommodate. Try to anticipate what could go wrong and modify your
designs to address any adverse impact.
• Review all connector applications and electrical systems to determine the need for solder, grease, weather-resistant or sealed
connectors. Make sure components and wire insulation are compatible with greased connectors (important for long-term durability).
• Make sure that drip loops or other means are provided to prevent water leakage into the vehicle through wiring assemblies that pass
through the dash panel.
• Use greased or sealed connectors in floor pan troughs which are subject to moisture coming through the carpeting.
• Use XLPE insulation for uncovered runs that exceed 305 mm (12 in).

Electrical Protection

• Correctly route wires away from noise-generating wires or components. However, if routing near noisy wires or plugging into noisy
components is unavoidable, additional protection must be designed into the harness.
• Shielding — Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) — Consider shielding if you must route close to high-current or noisy circuits. Use
shielded wire and ground one side. Seal all splices in wire assemblies that use bare coaxial shielding (braid or tape) for EMI suppression,
and insulate or tape over all shielding ends that terminate near any open connectors. This prevents splice and terminal shorts to the
shielding. Minimize the length of conductors which extend beyond the shield. Failure to do this reduces the effectiveness of the shield.
• Spike suppression, in general, is accomplished by connecting a diode or resistor-diode combination across the terminals of the noisy
component. The diode should be sufficiently close to the component (both electrically and physically) so that inductive spikes are
clamped off. Make sure the diode is connected with the proper polarity.

Proper routing and retention will reduce the likelihood of chafing or pinching. When this ideal routing is unattainable, the following additional
protection is needed:
Mechanical/Environmental Protection

• Tape — Tape is the most basic means of protection. It contains the wires in a loose bundle and provides limited environmental
protection. It does not protect against chafing and pinching.
— Kendall Polyken Fiberglass Base Tape (Ford Specification ESB-M3G38-A) is used for engine compartment applications. This durable tape
provides against cut-through and abrasion commonly found in underhood applications.
— Polyken 267 is a substitute tape that may be used in lower temperature areas of the engine compartment (apron area).
• Convolute — Use convolute for all underhood/underbody applications or when increased temperature, abrasion or pinch resistance is
required. Convoluted tubing comes in different diameters and materials to accommodate different temperature ranges and harness sizes.
— Use polyethylene convolute when abrasion is the only consideration; this convolute is adequate up to 96°C (205°F) maximum. Use nylon
convolute when underhood/underbody or abrasion and temperature are considerations; nylon convolute is adequate up to 177°C (350°F)
maximum.
— On all engine-mounted wiring or bend points. Use vinyl tape on the outside of the convolute to prevent wiring from looping out. This tape
must be able to withstand temperatures 135°C (275°F) or higher.
— Tape convolute junctions with abrasion-resistant tape (Polyken 267, fiberglass).
• Scroll — Similar to convolute, but without the ridges. Scroll is used where harness rigidity is required, especially for maintaining critical
locator dimensions. Use scroll for short lengths only, as it is quite inflexible.

2-16 Electrical

Section 2: Electrical

NOTE:
This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of methods for physically protecting the wires. There are other means of protection available that
are not listed.

Grommets and Sealing Requirements


Any additional wiring routed through sheet metal must pass through a grommet that both seals the opening and locates the wire(s). Two-piece
grommets (rubber with plastic inserts) are recommended to facilitate installation and retention.

• Locate grommets so they are accessible for proper seating (achieved by pulling) in sheet metal holes.
• Ramp grommets at the insertion end to facilitate installation and sealing.
• Be sure that the direction of the hole punch is in the direction of grommet seating and the hole is burr-free.
• Make sure the grommet moulding compound will adhere to the harness to prevent slippage.
• Make sure the grommet will withstand the environment (temperature, splash).
• Be sure that holes are large enough to allow the installation of the harness without causing circuit damage.
• Use adhesive tape on main trunks or branches with at least a 50% overlap to prevent wicking through grommets. Be certain to diaper-
wrap the takeouts.
• Any and all holes created or existing grommets affected during upfit which are exposed directly or indirectly to outside air
MUST be completely sealed using Motorcraft® Seam Sealer (TA-2-B).

Wire Routing

WARNING:
Do not place electrical component attachments or ground screws adjacent to vehicle fuel tanks, fuel filler pipes, fuel lines, fuel
vapor lines or carbon canisters. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a collision.

Wire harness routing should conform to the following:

• Protect wires routed through holes in sheet metal or castings with a grommet whether or not conduit is used (see figure below).

• Route wires to avoid metal edges, screws, trim fasteners and abrasive surfaces. When such routing is not possible, use protective
devices (shields, caps) to protect the wires. Cover metal edges with a protective shield and fasten the wiring within 76 mm (3 in) on each
side of the edge (see figure below).

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Electrical 2-17

Section 2: Electrical

• Route wires to provide at least 76 mm (3 in) of clearance to moving parts in their extreme movement location, unless positively fastened
and protected by a conduit.
• Avoid wire routing without conduit in areas where temperatures exceed 82°C (180°F). Minimum clearance of 152 mm (6 in) should be
maintained from exhaust system components. Heat insulation and heat shields must be used on the wires routed in high-temperature
areas.
• Make certain that all underhood or underbody wiring is cross-linked polyethylene high temperature insulation wire 135°C (275°F)
(minimum rating) consistent with SAE specification J1128 Type SXL wire. Normal PVC wire must not be used in underhood or underbody
applications.
• Make sure all ground locations are readily accessible for installation, service and verification.
• Do not place ground attachments in high-splash areas.
• Do not route underbody wiring over the exhaust system.
• Under hood/underbody wiring must be routed in conduit for protection. Minimum conduit rating is 177°C (350°F).

Wire Retention and Routing


Use the following criteria to determine the location of retainers:

• Size and weight of wire bundle.


• Holes with poor accessibility that prevent installation of locators.
• Movement of wires that can result in abrasion, squeaks and rattles.

• When wiring is routed between 2 members where relative motion can occur, the wiring should be secured to each member with enough
wire slack to allow flexing without damaging the wire.
• Wiring exposed to weather must provide a drip loop to prevent moisture from being conducted into the device through the wire
connection (see figure below).

• Avoid routing wires into areas exposed to wheel splash. When such routing cannot be avoided, adequate clipping and/or protective
shields are required to protect the wires from stone and ice damage. Allow adequate slack in wiring between the engine and stationary
components to compensate for engine roll.
• Avoid routing wires under the frame side members or at points lower than the bottom frame flange.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
2-18 Electrical

Section 2: Electrical

• Use plastic "zip" straps for "bundling" only (securing to other wires).
• The wire retainers and grommets installed by the assembly plant are usually designed to accommodate only the Ford-installed wires.
Additional wiring or tubing should be retained by additional clips. When added wires or tubes are routed through sheet metal panels, new
holes with proper wire protection and sealing must be used.

For retainer screws, the following guidelines apply:

• 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.
• Do not use pointed screws for attachments. Also check that screws used in the vicinity of the wiring are blunt-ended.
• To minimize the potential for wiring shorts, do not use drill point screws. Trim components (including wiring shields) should use pin-type
attachments instead of screws.
• Always check areas that screws protrude into for verification that an interference condition to other components does not exist.
• Make sure that retainers used are capable of withstanding the environment over the vehicle's life expectancy.

Splices and Repairs


For quality splicing and to reduce potential problems, the following guidelines are recommended:

• Stagger the splices within a harness to reduce increased harness diameter. Splice only on straight areas as installed, not on bends.
• Strip wire ends making sure that individual conductor strands are not damaged.
• When soldering, make sure an adequate mechanical joint exists before applying solder. Use only resin-core solder. Acid-core solder
should not be used since it may result in corrosion.
• For crimp joints, use butt-type metal barrel fasteners and the proper tool at the appropriate setting for the wire size (such as Motorcraft
crimp tool S-9796) specifically designed for this type of work.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Electrical 2-19

Section 2: Electrical

• Make sure splice joints are adequately sealed and insulated. In an outside environment, use Duraseal butt connectors or equivalent. A
durable substitute splice joint can be achieved by using a bare metal barrel, crimping, flow-soldering and covering with shrink tubing.
Quality electrical tape can be used inside the vehicle but is not recommended for an outside environment.
• Be sure that the new wire is not a lesser gauge than its original mating wire.

Recommended Splicing Method — Solder (For 16 AWG and Smaller Diameter Wire Only)
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Strip wires to appropriate length.

Heat Shrinkable Tubing (Heat Shrink) (Ford Specification ESB-M99D56-A2)


Heat shrinkable tubing is available in various diameters for different splice sizes and configurations. When shrunk, it forms a small, flexible
hermetic seal.
Other methods (tape, PVC mold) do not provide a hermetic seal and are not recommended. Splice balancing is critical with heat shrink
insulation. If the splice is extremely unbalanced (more circuits on one side than the other), heat shrink insulation will not provide a proper seal.
Evaluate the use of double terminals instead of splices where practical in these situations.

Electrical Systems Management


Care must be given in deciding what equipment should be installed into a police vehicle given the power demands of the equipment and the
power available from the vehicle. A power load strategy should be developed to minimize the risk of running out of power. Examine the
proposed equipment for vehicle installation. Add up the current requirements. If the current requirements exceed what the vehicle can
reasonably be expected to be able to provide, the battery will begin discharging to provide the power to the equipment that the generator is
unable to provide. After some period of time, the vehicle will shut off as the battery voltage decreases to a level that cannot sustain vehicle
operation.
There are alternatives that can be considered to minimize system electrical overload. Consider the current requirements of equipment before it
is purchased and installed. Modern light bars and radios use a fraction of the current than units made as recently as 1996. As the light bar is
the most power intensive unit installed on most police vehicles, considerable attention should be given to its current requirements. Changes in
officer habits while in the field can make a difference as well. When a vehicle is sitting at an accident scene and no one is in the car, the air
conditioner can be turned off until the officer is ready to get back into the vehicle. The air conditioner is among the largest current users of non-
police equipment. As such, it can impact available power for other uses as well.

Alternator Output
On 2013 Sedan and Utility Police Interceptors, the alternator is controlled by the PCM.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
2-24 Electrical

Section 2: Electrical

The Police Interceptor alternator is different from that used on the standard retail vehicles. The Police Interceptor has a 220 amp alternator.
This results in significantly greater current output, especially at idle, where police vehicles need it most.

• Alternator amp output:


— Maximum output for the Police Interceptor is 220 amps
• Alternator drive ratio, determined by generator pulley size:
— Sedan Police Interceptor 2.67:1
— Utility Police Interceptor 2.67:1
• Idle speed:
— Police Interceptor 600 rpm

NOTE:
In order to calculate engine rpm from the graph below, divide the alternator speed by 2.67 (or 3 as an approximate). Alternator speed/3.0 =
engine rpm.

Charging Margins
Alternator output varies with engine speed and ambient temperature as illustrated in the Alternator Output Section. The worst case scenario
for police vehicles is when the vehicle is idling for long periods of time on a very hot day. Lower engine speeds while idling, coupled with high
under hood temperatures that may approach 93°C (200°F), combine to minimize power output from the generator. At the same time, electrical

applicable to your area. Guidance is provided in OSHA Standard 1910.95 under "Permissible Noise Exposure".

• Exposure to sounds produced by typical sirens and horns (near or greater than 120 dB) could result in permanent hearing loss.
• Certain packages for both the Sedan and Utility Police Interceptors include system designed siren amplifiers and speakers. Using a siren
and/or speaker(s) from other manufacturers may reduce the output, the overall warning effectiveness of the siren system and possibly
cause reduced component useful life. Your system should be tested to conform to federal, state, and local performance standards.
Packages for the Sedan and Utility Police Interceptors are tested to SAE J1849, 500 feet audibility, OSHA Sound Compliance Standards
and have been salt spray tested for corrosion and durability.
• Adhere to all Ford Police Interceptor Modifier Guide, Owners Manual, diagnostic manual safety and precaution procedures when
servicing or relocating the vehicle or warning system.
• Loud sounds can damage your hearing as well as others in or within close proximity to your emergency vehicle. Exposure to very loud
sounds in short duration or longer duration to moderately loud sounds can also damage hearing. For hearing conservation guidance,
refer to federal, state, or local recommendations. OSHA Standard 1910.95 provides guidance on "Permissible Noise Exposure"
• Effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your and others'
exposure to siren sound and wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be
exposed to the sound.
• Siren amplifiers and speakers are designed to work together as a system. Combining a siren and speaker from different manufacturers
may reduce the warning effectiveness of the siren system and may damage the components. You should verify or test your combination
to make sure the system works together properly and meets federal, state and local standards or guidelines. The factory installed
components are tested and verified to support SAE J1849, 500 ft. Audibility, OSHA Sound Compliance Standards, and have been salt
spray tested for durability.
• Frequently inspect the speaker to ensure it is clear of any obstruction, such as mud or snow, which will reduce maximum sound output
and could lead to premature speaker failure.
• Follow all safety and precautions procedures in the Ford Police Interceptors Modifier Guide, Owners Manuals and diagnostic manuals
when servicing or moving this equipment.

NOTICE:
The lives of people depend on your safe operation of this system. It is important to read and follow all instructions shipped with the
products. In addition, listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

Signaling Limitations
• Be aware that the use of your visual and audible signaling device does not give you the right to force your way through traffic. Your
emergency lights, siren, and actions are REQUESTING the right-of-way.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not alert everyone. People may not hear, see or heed warning signal. Your
must recognize this fact and continue driving cautiously.
• Situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural or man made objects are between your vehicle and others.

Driving Limitations
• At the start of your shift, you should make sure that the light/sound system is securely attached to the vehicle and operating properly.
• If the unique combination of emergency vehicle equipment installed in your vehicle has resulted in the siren controls being installed in a
position that does not allow you to operate them by touch only, OPERATE CONTROLS ONLY WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS STOPPED.
• If driving conditions require your full attention, you should avoid operating the siren controls while the vehicle is in motion.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to new recruits and trainees.
• Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you, to passengers, or to others.

Configuration Instructions
The factory installed system is an extremely versatile electronic siren and light control system. Available siren tones are: wail, yelp, priority, hi-
lo and an air horn sound. Horn ring control of siren tones is provided. Public address and radio rebroadcast are also available. Eight relays are
available for controlling light bars, other auxiliary lights and accessories.

Section 2: Electrical

For operations and configuration instructions, refer to the corresponding section of this manual.

WARNING:
Property damage, serious injury, or death to you or to others may result if the factory installed system is improperly programmed.

Programming, if desired by the police agency, is to be performed at the time of installation. It is NOT intended for operators to "customize" the
unit's operation for their individual preferences. It is the police agencies' responsibility to determine compatibility, suitability, and ensure proper
programming of the factory installed system.
The person responsible for programming MUST be familiar with local codes and procedures for safe emergency vehicle siren and light
operation.

• Since many factory installed features are programmable, operation is described for the "Standard" program. Refer to the supplied
Operation and Configuration section of this manual for additional discussion of the "standard" program. It is the operator's responsibility
to understand how his particular unit is configured (programmed) to operate.
• The factory installed key pad is designed to assist the operator's selection of functions. Each control head switch is recessed and aids in
guiding the operator's finger to the switch's center for activation. When a switch is pressed, tactile feedback provides function selection
indication as follows: a click is felt, a beep is heard, and the selected function's key illuminates brightly.

Individual LED Flash Pattern Programming

WARNING:
Police Package warning lights are a high-intensity Light-Emitting Diode (LED) type. Do not stare directly at these lights, as doing so
may cause temporary blindness and/or eye damage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE:
When cycling through flash patterns, most flash patterns include an off/on pattern followed by an inverse on/off pattern. Setting the LED on
one side to the on/off and the other to off/on creates the alternating pattern effect which should not be confused with synchronization which
applies to the pattern timing between LED groups. For proper synchronization, the correct flash patterns must be selected for the individual
flashing LEDs. Refer to the Explorer, Taurus Police Interceptor Modifier Guide for specific flashing LED patterns.

1. Disconnect the flashing LED to be programmed.


2. Connect ground to pin 4, component side of the flashing LED.

Section 3: Installation Considerations


Push Bumpers
Effect On Airbag Deployment
Different push bumper designs may each have different deformation characteristics in a crash situation that may or may not affect the
deployment of airbags. Without the benefit of crash tests on vehicles equipped with push bumpers (there are a number of different styles
available), it is the opinion of Ford Motor Company that installation of some push bumpers could affect the timing of the airbag deployment.
Use of a push bumper that mounts solely to the vehicle's bumper should not have a significant effect on airbag deployment.

Effect On Weight Distribution


The balance and weight distribution of a vehicle is carefully planned to achieve optimal stability and handling. Push bumpers can change this
weight distribution by adding excessive weight to the front of the vehicle. There are many different styles of push bumpers available.
Depending on the mounting and weight of the push bumper to be installed, it could have an adverse effect on the handling of a vehicle.
Always verify the vehicle ride height after the addition of a push bumper. For additional information, refer to Section 1: General Information,
Bumper Height Verification in this guide. Adjust the ride height if the measurements are not within specifications.

Airflow
The engine cooling system on a vehicle relies on proper airflow through the radiator to keep the engine at its proper operating temperature.
When adding a push bumper to a vehicle, make sure this airflow is not obstructed, especially when lights and sirens are mounted on the push
bumper. Reduced airflow could put additional strain on the cooling system and shorten the operational life of related components. Elevated
temperatures may also result in a reduced performance mode of operation intended to prevent temperature increase that may operate in a
reduced power mode. During the installation process, keep the placement of components away from the grille area of the vehicle. For any
components mounted in grille area above bumper, use factory installed locations and do not exceed sizing of factory-installed components to
maintain required airflow. Do not mount equipment below the bumper in front of the lower front fascia opening.

Skid Plates
There are a few different skid plate designs and mounting locations available. When skid plates are mounted under the front of the vehicle
covering the underside of the engine compartment, proper airflow that is necessary for the cooling system of the engine could be affected. As
with push bumpers that obstruct the airflow entering the engine compartment, skid plates can obstruct airflow exiting the engine compartment.
This obstruction may put a strain on the cooling system of components in the powertrain system and shorten the operational life of related
components. Operation at excessive temperatures may result in a reduced performance mode to assist in preventing temperature increase.

Siren and Grille Lights


The engine cooling system relies on proper airflow through the radiator to keep the engine at its proper operating temperature. When adding
sirens and grille lights to a vehicle, make sure this airflow is not obstructed. Reduced airflow could put additional strain on the cooling system
and shorten the operational life of related components. During the installation process, keep the placement of components away from the grille
area of the vehicle.

Partition Installation Guidelines

WARNING:
The partition and the installation hardware of the partition must not interfere with the proper operation of the safety belt, safety belt
retractor, side impact sensor and the safety belt height adjusters. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

WARNING:
The partition and the installation hardware of the partition must not interfere with the operation and deployment of the Safety
Canopy and side airbags. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury.

WARNING:
Installation of prisoner partitions may increase the risk of injury to front seat occupants if the vehicle is impacted from a high speed
rear end collision. This risk should be balanced by the law enforcement agency against the risk of injury to the officer associated
with prisoner transportation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Safety Belt Retractor Utility and Sedan


The safety belt retractors are located in the base of the B-pillars. The pretensioner located in the retractor is referred to as the safety belt
retractor pretensioner. In the event of an airbag deployment, pretensioners provide improved occupant protection by rapidly removing slack

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Installation Considerations 3-3

Section 3: Installation Considerations

from the safety belt. Removing slack from the safety belt helps to properly position the occupant and allows for maximum effectiveness of the
safety belts and the airbags.

• Do not use the safety belt retractor bolts for mounting the partition.
• Do not mount any partition hardware on the inboard side of the B-pillar within the bottom 305 mm (12 in).
• Do not mount any partition hardware that will interfere with the proper sealing of the door.
• Do not cover or attach to trim along top of front/rear side (driver side and passenger side) windows that will prevent or alter deployment of
curtain airbags.

Installation Considerations 3-19

Section 3: Installation Considerations

WARNING:
The BECMB is mounted just forward of the RCM on the center tunnel. The BECMB location can be relocated but the length of the
wire harness can not be changed.

The BECMB provides system voltage to the RCM and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) when the ignition is ON. Additionally,
the BECMB is designed to ensure that the RCM and OCSM remain powered if the ignition is turned off while the vehicle is moving at a speed
greater than 4 Km/h (2.5mph).
If the ignition is turned off while the vehicle is travelling at a speed above 4 km/h (2.5 mph), the BECMB maintains system voltage on the RCM
and OCSM power supply circuits. Once the vehicle speed drops below the threshold while the ignition is off, the BECMB powers down the
RCM and OCSM. If the vehicle speed rises above the threshold again, the BECMB does not reactivate the power supply to the RCM and
OCSM. They remain off until the ignition is turned on again.
If a vehicle is parked, with the ignition off, the BECMB does not provide power to the RCM and OCSM. If the vehicle begins to move, while the
ignition is still off, the BECMB does not power the RCM or OCSM.
When the vehicle has been started using the remote start feature (if equipped), the ignition status is off, but the BECMB powers the RCM in
order to detect a collision and disable the fuel pump, if necessary.

Airbag Deployment Interference

WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the airbag module cover or in front seat areas that may come in contact with a
deploying airbag. Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should be placed within the specified zone. Dash, tunnel or console-
mounted equipment should not be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal
injury.

WARNING:
Do not mount equipment between the side of the front seat and the door trim that would block deployment of the side airbag. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

WARNING:
The partition and the installation hardware of the partition must not interfere with the operation and deployment of the roll curtain
airbags and side airbags. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury.

WARNING:
Do not remove or change the torque on the fasteners attaching the accessory bracket to the vehicle.

Installation Considerations 3-21

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Restraints system is designed to function optimally with a center console. If a partition is used in the vehicle, a center console is not
required. Without a partition a center console or structure similar to a center console is required for optimal function of the second
row restraints system.

Driver/passenger airbags affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles. Any surfaces that could come into contact with
an airbag during deployment 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. Do not mount or place any objects in the deployment path of an airbag.
Airbags must be allowed to fully deploy without restriction. The deployment of airbags is not compatible with any configuration of police
equipment mounting that places objects in the airbag deployment path. Equipment mounted or placed in the deployment area of an airbag will
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, damage the airbag and potentially damage or dislodge the equipment.
Airbag deployment drawings are provided in Section 5. Consult the drawings before equipment is installed inside the passenger compartment
to make sure that the mounted equipment does not interfere with airbag deployment.

Seat Bolts
The vehicle safety belts and seat assemblies are factory installed in their correct locations. Seat attaching bolts are not to be used as
attachment points for any equipment. Any added material between the seat bolt and the seat frame could have unpredictable effects on the
seat bolt torque. If the safety belts are removed for any reason, all of the appropriate attaching hardware must be hand started and then
tightened to the correct torque specifications as per the workshop manual. Proper operation must be verified before returning the vehicle to
service.

Driveshaft Clearance
When installing police equipment such as a console or other equipment in the console area, it is important to consider the available clearance
between the underbody and the driveshaft. Never use self-tapping screws and never use screws that are longer than necessary in the console
area.

Accessory Bracket
The accessory bracket must not be removed from the vehicle. Both the Sedan Interceptor and Utility Interceptor were developed with the
accessory bracket.

High Strength Steel


High strength Boron steel is used in the A and B pillars of both the Sedan Interceptor and Utility Interceptor vehicles. Welding and other repair
processes should not be performed.

3-26 Installation Considerations

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Do not splice in this circuit with 12 volts or a ground signal as damage to the vehicle starting system will occur.

NOTE:
The Park position signal can only be monitored with a 5-volt reference signal. When the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL, the reference
voltage is grounded through the starter relay control side (reference voltage drops to low). When the vehicle is not in PARK or NEUTRAL, the
circuit is open and the reference voltage remains high.

In the event that the police equipment to be installed requires a PARK signal, it can be accessed at the 14 way base signal power connector
(pin 12) as illustrated in the Wiring Diagram manual.

Vehicle Speed Signal

NOTICE:
Do not make electrical connections to vehicle electrical systems not specifically designed for police equipment installations.

When adding police equipment that requires a vehicle speed signal input, such as VASCAR, use the available vehicle speed signal connection
in the 14 way base signal power connector (pin 9). This is the only recommended access to the vehicle speed signal. For additional
information on the vehicle speed signal, refer to the Wiring Diagrams manual.

Speed Signal Characteristics

NOTE:
Changes in tire sizes from that supplied with the vehicle can vary the pulse count and result in inaccurate speed calculations.

The vehicle speed signal is a DC-coupled square wave that varies in frequency in proportion to vehicle speed. The characteristics of the
square wave are detailed below.

• Maximum High Signal (VBAT): Battery Voltage


• Minimum High Signal (VBAT): 3.67 Volts
• Maximum Low Signal: 1.1 Volts
• Minimum Low Signal: -1.0 Volt
• Maximum Ground Offset: ±1.0 Volt
• Rise Time (tr): 10 μ sec less than or equal to tr less than or equal to 250 μ sec
• Fall Time (tf): 10 μ sec less than or equal to tf less than or equal to 250 μ sec
• Duty Cycle: 50% ± 10%
• Pulse Rate: 1.3808 Hz/kph (2.22 Hz/mph)

Driver Door Ajar

NOTICE:
Do not make electrical connections to vehicle electrical systems not specifically designed for police equipment installations.

When adding police equipment that requires a door ajar signal input, use the available vehicle speed signal connection from the 14-way
connector located behind the valence panel at the bottom of the electronic finish panel where the driveline tunnel meets the instrument panel.
This is the only recommended access to the door ajar signal.

Transmission Sensors
The 6F50 automatic transmission is used on a majority of retail Sedan and Utility Interceptor retail applications, however, some applications
use the 6F55 transmission. All retail Sedan and Utility Interceptor vehicles are equipped with a heavy-duty transmission cooler. The police
interceptor transmission is unique in the following areas:

• Torque converter
• PCM programming to produce unique transmission shift characteristics
• Auxiliary transmission cooler

Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of a vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or are
not properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause the engine to stumble or stall and may affect the automatic
transmission operation. Citizen band (CB) transceivers, garage door openers, and other transmitters whose power output is 5 watts or less will
not ordinarily affect the operation of the vehicle.

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Delay Accessory
All Sedan Police Interceptors and Utility Police Interceptors are equipped with delay accessory feature, which is a function of the Body Control
Module (BCM). The delay accessory feature disrupts power to the interior lamps and demand lamps after 10 minutes or immediately upon
opening the door. Interior lamps include the dome lamps and the instrument cluster lamps. Demand lamps include the front map lamp, glove
compartment lamp, luggage compartment lamp and engine compartment lamp. Turning the ignition switch to the RUN or ACC position
terminates the battery saver feature by disabling the interrupt timers and power to the lamps.
A reset event sets the interior lamps interrupt timer to 0. The reset events for the interior lamps interrupt timer are turning on the interior lamps
by using the dome lamp switch or opening any door (as detected by the door ajar switches).
A reset event sets the demand lamps interrupt timer to 0. The reset events for the demand lamps interrupt timer are opening the luggage
compartment door or opening any door (as detected by the door ajar switches).

Vehicle Loading With and Without a Trailer


This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or trailer. To keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating
capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading
your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer from the
Vehicle's Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label.

Base Curb Weight


The weight of the vehicle including a full fuel tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full fuel tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight


The weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your authorized dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Installation Considerations 3-43

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Payload
The combined weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found on the Tire
Label on the B-Pillar of the edge of the driver's door (vehicles exported outside of the US and Canada may not have a Tire Label). Look for
The Combined Weight Of Occupants And Cargo Should Never Exceed xxx kg Or xxx lb. for maximum payload. The payload listed on
the Tire Label is the maximum payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If any aftermarket or authorized dealer installed
equipment must be subtracted from the payload listed on the Tire Label in order to determine the new payload.

WARNING:
The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by
payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle, do not
add more cargo, even if there is space available. Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and vehicle rollover.

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Gross Axle Weight (GAW)


The total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) including vehicle curb weight and all payload.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)


The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown 011 the Safety Compliance
Certification Label located 011 the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door. The total load on each axle must never exceed its GAWR.

NOTE:
For trailer towing information, refer to Trailer Towing found in this chapter or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided by your authorized
dealer.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)


the Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo + passengers.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)


The maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers and cargo). The GVWR is shown on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door. The GVW must never exceed the
GVWR.

WARNING:
Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or
performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury.

Gross Combined Weight (GCW)


The weight of the loaded vehicle (GCW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer.

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Installation Considerations 3-47

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)


The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer - including all cargo and passengers - that the vehicle can handle without
risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle's braking system is rated for operation at GVWR, not at GCWR. Separate functional brakes
should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers where the GCW of the towing vehicle plus the trailer exceed the GVWR of the
towing vehicle. The GCW must never exceed the GCWR.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight


The highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a vehicle with only mandatory options, no cargo (internal or
external a tongue load of 10 to 15% (conventional trailer), and driver only (150 lb. JGB kg). Consult your authorized dealer (or the RV and
Trailer Towing Guide provided by your authorized dealer) for more detailed information.

WARNING:
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.

WARNING:
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower the vehicles GVWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the original tires do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

WARNING:
Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.

Steps For Determining The Correct Load Limit:


1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX Is." on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX Is.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" equals 1,400 Is. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 Is. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.). In metric units (635 to 340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be lowing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity:

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
3-48 Installation Considerations

Section 3: Installation Considerations

• Another example for your vehicle with 1,400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load
capacity to carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? You and four friends average 220 lb. (99 kg) each and the golf bags weigh
approximately 30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1,400-(5 x 220) -(5 x 30) = 1,400 -1,100 -150 = 150 lb. Yes, you have
enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and your golf bags. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg -(5 x 99
kg) -(5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 -495 -67.5 = 72.5 kg
• A final example for your vehicle with 1,400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up
cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of
the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100 lb. (45 kg) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to
transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1,400 -(2 x 220) -(12 x
100) = 1,400 -440 -1,200 = -240 lb. No, you do not have enough cargo capacity for that much weight. In metric units, the calculation
would be: 635 kg -(2 x 99 kg) -(12 x 45 kg) = 635 -198 -540 = -103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. 004 kg).
If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be: 1,400 -(2 x 220) -(9 x 100) = 1,400 -440 -900 = 60 lb.
Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg -(2 x 99
kg) -(9 x 45 kg) = 635 -198 -405 = 32 kg.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear
Gross Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. The label shall be affixed to either the door
hinge pillar door latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch post, next to the driver's seating position.

WARNING:
Loaded vehicles may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping
distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

WARNING:
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.

WARNING:
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in engine
damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.

Your vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle.
Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle's engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these
components periodically during, and after, any towing operation.

Recommended Towing Weights

NOTE:
Do not tow a trailer during patrol or pursuit situations.

Sedan: Your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 1,000 Ib (454 kg) gross trailer weight with a maximum tongue load of 100 Ib (45 kg).
Utility: Your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 2500 Ib (1134 kg) gross trailer weight with a maximum tongue load of 250 Ib (113 kg).

Essential Towing Checks


Follow these guidelines to ensure safe towing:

• Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle until it has been driven at least 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers).

• Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer.

• Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the proper installation and adjustment specifications.

• Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to your scheduled maintenance information.

For load specification terms found on the label and instructions on calculating your vehicle's load, refer to the Load Carrying chapter.
Remember to figure in the tongue load of your loaded vehicle when Figuring the total weight.

Hitches

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Installation Considerations 3-49

Section 3: Installation Considerations

Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto the bumper or attaches to the axle. Distribute the trailer load so 10 to 15% of the total trailer weight
is on the tongue.

Safety chains
Always connect the safety chains to the vehicle's hook retainers. To connect the safety chains, cross them under the trailer tongue and allow
slack for turning comers. If you use a rental trailer, follow the rental agency's instructions.

NOTE:
Never attach safety chains to the bumper

Trailer brakes
the Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo + passengers.

WARNING:
Do not connect. a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to your vehicle's brake system. Your vehicle may not have enough
braking power and your chances of having a collision greatly increase.

Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer's
specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal regulations. The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the
GVWR not GCWR.

Trailer lamps
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Ensure all running lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact
your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for hooking up the lamps.

Before towing a trailer


Practice turning, stopping and backing-up to get the feel of the vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make wider
turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.

When towing a trailer


• Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles (800 kilometers) and do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).
• Place the gearshift lever in P (Park) to aid in engine/transmission cooling and NC efficiency during hot weather while stopped in traffic.
• Turn off the speed control. The speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not apply the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become
less effective.
• If your transmission is equipped with the grade assist feature, use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking and helps
eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel economy and transmission cooling.
• Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached; anticipate stops and brake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if you must park on a grade, place wheel chocks under the trailer's wheels.

Always connect the safety chains to the vehicle's hook retainers. To connect the safety chains, cross them under the trailer tongue and allow
slack for turning corners. If you use a rental trailer, follow the rental agency's instructions.

Wrecker Towing
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing service or, if you are a member of a roadside assistance program, your
roadside assistance service provider. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment. Do not
tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. Ford Motor Company produces a turning manual for
all authorized tow truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for proper hook-up and towing procedures for your
vehicle. Front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles can be towed from the front if proper wheel lift equipment is used to raise the front wheels off the
ground. The rear wheels can be left on the ground when towed in this fashion. FWD vehicles can also be towed from the rear using wheel lift
equipment; however, the front wheels need to be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the transmission. All-wheel drive (AWD)/Four-wheel
drive (4WD) vehicles must be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment, with all the wheels off the ground, to prevent damage to
the transmission, AWD/4WD system or vehicle. If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle damage may occur.

Section 3: Installation Considerations

In the event your vehicle becomes disabled (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-
towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain transmission configuration) under the following conditions:

• The vehicle is facing forward so that it is towed in a forward direction.


• The transmission is placed in N (Neutral). Refer to Automatic transmission in the Transmission chapter if you cannot move the
transmission into N (Neutral).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 kmp/h).
• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers).

Recreational towing

NOTE:
Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to the Climate Control
chapter.

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow your vehicle for personal travel (such as behind a motor home or a
truck). These guidelines are designed to prevent damage to your vehicle after it is hooked-up to the RV or tow dolly. Front-wheel drive (FWD)
vehicles can be towed with all four wheels on the ground or with the front wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly. If you are using a tow
dolly follow the instructions specified by the equipment provider. If you are towing with all four wheels on the ground, refer to the towing
instructions found at the end of this section. All-wheel drive (AWD)/Four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles can be towed with all four wheels on the
ground or with all four wheels off the ground using a vehicle transport trailer. Do not tow your AWD/4WD vehicle with the front wheels off the
ground (by using a tow dolly) and the rear wheels on the ground; this will cause damage to your AWD/4WD system. If you are using a vehicle
transport trailer, follow the instruction specified by the equipment provider. If you are towing with all four wheels on the ground, refer to the
towing instructions found at the end of this section.
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground:

• Have your transmission fluid level checked by an authorized dealer. For the correct transmission fluid level when flat towing (all four
wheels on the ground), refer to Automatic transmission fluid check in the Maintenance chapter.
• Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
• Place the ignition in the accessory position. Refer to ignition switch in the Starting and Stopping the Engine chapter.
• Do not exceed 65 mph (105 km/h).
• Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning of each day and every six hours thereafter. With the engine running
and your foot on the brake, shift into D (Drive) and then into R (Reverse) before shifting back into N (Neutral).

Before towing a trailer


Practice turning, stopping and backing-up to get the feel of the vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make wider
turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.

Trunk PackTM 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. Aftermarket organizers that do not adequately
deform in rear-impacts can themselves become injury-producing objects. When locating, securing and mounting police equipment,
please review the Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide, available on the www.fleet.ford.com web site, which provides recommended
fastener mounting types and locations.
Following the trunk packing recommendations (also on the www.fleet.ford.com web site) is the most meaningful method of reducing
risk. If your department practice is inconsistent with the trunk packing recommendations, then Ford suggests that you consider
purchasing an optional drop-in Trunk PackTM to further reduce the risk of injury resulting from police equipment pushing forward
into the back seat and/or fuel tank in the event of a high-speed rear impact.

To improve trunk packing by police agencies, Ford has made the following items available:

• Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide — an outline pattern with recommended fastener mounting locations in the trunk. The guide can be
found on previous pages in this section and on the Internet at www.fleet.ford.com.
• Trunk Packing Considerations — the following guidelines are offered to reduce the risk of unique police equipment items pushing through
the fuel tank and/or back seat. See www.fleet.ford.com for more details.

A slogan has been developed to increase police agency awareness of the importance of trunk packing.
Improve police officer safety by implementing a trunk-packing process called "LOAD SAFE".

Equipment Categories and Placement

WARNING:
Gasoline should not be stored in the trunk at any time, regardless of container. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

It is recognized that a wide variety of equipment is carried in the trunks of police vehicles as noted above. This section addresses the inherent
risks of various types of equipment in the event of a high-speed rear impact.
This information is divided into 3 categories:

• Carrying Not Recommended —The following items have been observed in police vehicles and should not be transported in the
vehicle trunk: containers with gasoline, loose ammunition, loose flares, loose fire extinguisher(s), loose 4-point lug wrenches, loose
crowbars, loose axes and other loose equipment with potential puncture capability in high-speed rear-end collisions.
• Carry With Caution —These items will require special packing or mounting consideration and possible use of the Trunk PackTM as an
additional level of safety. Examples include (with proposed orientation): fire extinguisher (fixed), lug wrench 4-point (fixed, vertical),
rolotape measuring wheel (fixed, vertical), safety flares (lateral orientation, in a container), Stop Stick (lateral, mount on deck lid inner
panel), shovel (lateral, place at rear of trunk), shotgun and rifle (lateral, store in case), baton (lateral, place at rear of trunk), electronic
equipment (use Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide to determine equipment mounting locations) and ammunition (container). Flares
should be placed in a protective storage container (preferably soft-sided plastic). Flares with spikes attached should be laterally oriented
in the trunk area.
• Spare Tire Special Considerations: The safest location for the spare tire, jack and lug wrench is the production location on the forward
package shelf above the rear axle. If unable to mount there, the next safest location for the spare tire is mounted vertically inside the
Trunk PackTM using the J-bolt attachment device provided with the Trunk PackTM. However, if the manufacturer's location for the spare tire
is changed and the area above the axle is used to mount a sliding tray, use the Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide and suitable fasteners
of appropriate length to reduce the risk of fuel tank puncture. The jack and lug wrench should be stored in the rearward compartment of
the Trunk PackTM.
• Electronic Equipment: The safest location for the electronic equipment is on the trunk forward package shelf. Some equipment can be
mounted in the side shelf areas, but it must not intrude into the fuel tank area in a crash (noted in Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide). The
optional Complete Police Prep Package, described in Section 1, is available to facilitate packaging of electronic components with a sliding
tray forward package shelf and side in the right and left shelf area. All equipment should be located and mounted using the "Trunk
Equipment Mounting Guide" for proper positioning of fasteners. This guide can be accessed on www.fleet.ford.com. The sliding tray can
also be used, depending on size, to properly store parts with rigid and sharp edges.
• Ammunition: The safest place for ammunition is the forward package shelf and on the side shelves. It is recommended that a plastic
storage container (see Police Prep Package (68P) - Trunk storage boxes, LH or RH box can be purchased separately from any authorized
Ford dealer) be used and mounted using the "Trunk Mounting Equipment Guide" for 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 or fuel tank puncture. Examples are: a
soft camera case, biohazard kit in plastic boxes, gloves, safety rope, tow strap, traffic cones and sleeves, rain gear, riot gear (soft),
emergency blankets, bullet-resistant vests, tie straps, cloth tape, garment bags, first responder kit, Res-Q-Flo masks (placed in garment
bag), fuses (plastic container), briefcases, notebooks, spray bottles, helmets and jumper cables. It is not essential but recommended that
the Trunk PackTM be considered for organization of low risk items, especially if mixed with Carry With Caution items.

Section 4: Trunk Mounting Considerations

• VOR and SAE.

2. Aim the headlamps using one of the following methods:

• Photometric aimers (preferred method).


• Visual or screen method aiming (acceptable method).

Photometric Aiming
For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction manual.

Screen Method Aiming


All headlamp types
1. Before starting headlamp adjustment:

• vehicle must be on level ground.


• tires must be correctly inflated.
• vehicle must be normally loaded.
• headlamps must be clean.
• air suspension switch must be on (if equipped).

2. NOTE:
The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4 m (8 ft) wide.

NOTE:
This procedure should be done in a dark environment to effectively see the headlamp beam pattern.

Park the vehicle on a level surface with the low beam headlamp lens surface approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) from the vertical wall or screen
directly in front of it.

3. NOTE:
The bulb center of the low beam bulb is sometimes marked on the lens (circle, crosshair or other mark) or is the center of the low beam
reflector, bulb shield or the low beam projector inner lens.

Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen.

• Measure the distance between the center of the low beam headlamp bulb and ground. Record the measurement.
• Make a 2.4 m (8 ft) horizontal mark (using masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the height as follows:

Trunk Weight
The vehicle's high-speed handling and curb height will become increasingly affected as weight is added to the trunk or cargo area. The more
weight that is placed in the trunk or cargo area, the more it will change the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle. Consider these
factors when installing equipment and placing items in the trunk or cargo area of the vehicle.
Vehicle weight can be impacted considerably based on final upfit content and as a result of changes in the weight distribution headlamp aim
may require adjustment. Upon final upfit, it is recommended that headlamp aim is inspected and adjusted as necessary following the Ford
headlamp aim procedure.
The Vehicle Certification (VC) label on the driver door lists a maximum load for the vehicle (occupants + luggage + police equipment).

Airbag Deployment Interference
Engineering Drawings

WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the airbag module cover or in front seat areas that may come in contact with a
deploying airbag. Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should be placed within the specified zone. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.

WARNING:
Dash, tunnel or console-mounted equipment should not be placed outside the specified zone. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in personal injury.

WARNING:
Do not mount equipment by the side of the front seat to the door trim that would block deployment of the side airbag. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

WARNING:
Do not mount equipment by inside the roof line along the upper edge of the side windows from front to rear of the vehicle that
would block deployment of the Safety Canopy® Airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Driver/passenger airbags affect the way police equipment can be mounted in police vehicles. Any surfaces that could come into contact with
an airbag during deployment 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. Do not mount or place objects in the deployment path of an airbag. Airbags
must be allowed to fully deploy without restriction. The deployment of airbags is not compatible with any configuration of police equipment
mounting that places objects in the airbag deployment path. Equipment mounted or placed in the deployment area of an airbag will reduce the
effectiveness of the airbag, damage the airbag and potentially damage or dislodge the equipment.
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 illustrations in this section represent available police equipment
mounting zones. These zones are shown for police vehicles equipped with standard bucket seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone dimensions are approximate due to different airbag deployment characteristics.
Mount no equipment between the side of the front seat and the door trim that would block deployment of the side airbag.
Mount no equipment inside the upper edge of the roof line or along side windows trim panels from front to rear of vehicle that would block
deployment of the Safety Canopy® airbag.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING:
If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and
serviced by an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.

The side airbags will deploy on the side affected by the collision during significant lateral collisions. The airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with occupants, thus providing protection for the chest and shoulder areas. During minor
lateral collisions, roll-overs, front collisions and rear collisions, the side airbags will not deploy.

NOTE:
The passenger sensing system will deactivate the passenger seat-mounted side airbag if it detects an empty, unbuckled passenger seat.

The system consists of the following

FCS-2122-17 2017 Sedan And Utility Modifiers Guide 7/2017 © Copyright Ford 2017 FoMoCo
Reference Information 5-3

Section 5: Reference Information

• A label or embossed side panel indicating that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
• Side airbags located inside the seatback of the driver and front passenger seatbacks.
• Canopy curtain airbag.
• Knee airbag module (Utility Only)
• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags.
• Crash sensors located within the vehicle.

WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment in an area that may come into contact with a deploying curtain airbag. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING:
Do not lean your head on the door. The curtain airbag could injure you as it deploys from the headliner.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the curtain airbags, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle
containing curtain airbags, Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Curtain airbag
is provided.

WARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects of the deployment path of the canopy curtain airbag.

WARNING:
If the canopy air curtain has deployed, the air curtain will not function again. The side curtain system (including the A, B and C pillar
trim and headliner) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the curtain airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a collision. The curtain airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions or when the
likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and
deflate within a brief period, thus providing protection for the head. During minor lateral collisions, front collisions or rear collisions
the curtain airbags will not deploy.

The system consists of the following:

• Curtain airbags fitted above the trim panels over the front and rear side windows.
• A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air curtain deployment.
• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags.

Section 5: Reference Information

• Crash, rollover and pressure sensors located within the vehicle.

Police Equipment Mounting and Airbag Locations


Dual driver/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.

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. For equipment placed within the air bag
deployment zone the path of the deploying air bag must be considered so as not to affect the air bag deployment. Also, occupant
positions in a collision or event causing air bag deployment must be considered. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.

WARNING:
Dash, tunnel or console mounted equipment should be placed outside of the specified zone. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury.

WARNING:
Do not mount equipment by 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 the
illustrations in this section. These dimension are somewhat flexible and represent free form deployments without the loading of
occupants. The shaded areas represent airbag deployment zones and should be avoided. Consideration of airbag deployment paths
and occupant positions must be considered when mounting equipment near these areas. These zones are shown for police vehicles
equipped with standard bucket seats. The zone dimensions provided are approximate and will vary with the loading of the
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.
