Severe duty equipment Tires-Police Tires (including the spare) are speed-rated radials for police use. Use only the recommended tire size and speed ratings. Brakes-Police The police vehicle is equipped with heavy-duty front disc brake pads to meet the varying demands of different police service for fade resistance and other performance requirements. The police vehicle may be equipped with anti-lock brakes and a traction control system; refer to the "Owner Guide" for operation of these systems. INTERIOR Heavy-duty seats-Police The front seat assemblies, including the seat adjustment mechanisms and supports, are ruggedly designed and ensure working comfort. Calibrated speedometer-Police Deviations from true road speeds are minimized by a calibrated speedometer head which gives both miles-per-hour (0-140 mph) and kilometer-per-hour (0-222 km/h) readings. The speedometer head assembly accuracy is +2 mph (+3 km/h) over the entire range (at 21°C [70°F]). The "certified calibration" applies to the head assembly only and does not apply to the indicated speed of the system, which is affected by variations in vehicle loading, tire inflation pressures, tire rolling radii and driveline ratios. Mobile communication systems The Federal Communications Commission regulates the use of mobile communication systems (such as two-way radios, telephones and theft alarms) that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules and a qualified technician should install the equipment. Ford Motor Company vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions. Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or not properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause the engine to stumble or stall and may affect 4R70W transmission 6
