Severe duty equipment Figure A The approved ISO symbol for Fire Suppression is shown in Figure A. This symbol is printed on the manual activation switch. Figure B Figure B illustrates the diagnostic telltale on the instrument cluster. The system automatically performs a diagnostic check self check and momentarily lights the cluster lamp at Key ON. If the diagnostic lamp stays on refer to the appropriate sections of the Ford service manual for further diagnostic and service procedures. The system is active anytime the vehicle is in a Key ON or Engine ON mode following the diagnostic check. The system has been designed and tested to withstand a 75 mph 50% off-set rear impact by Taurus-sized vehicle. However, in some crashes, including very high-energy crashes, the fire suppression system could be so damaged by the crash forces that it cannot deploy. Like any vehicle component, the Fire Suppression System cannot withstand any and all crashes. No vehicle can eliminate the risk of fires. You should not consider the vehicle Љfire proofЉ because it is equipped with a Fire Suppression System. 13 2005 Crown Victoria (cro) Supplement USA (fus)
