2008 Ford Crown Victoria Severe Duty Police/Fleet Supplement 2nd Printing - Page 13

Severe duty equipment This information is divided into three categories: • Carrying Not Recommended • Carry With Caution • Low Risk Items Carrying not recommended - The following items have been observed in police vehicles and should not be transported in a vehicle trunk - containers with gasoline, loose ammunition, loose flares, loose fire extinguisher(s), loose 4-point lug wrench, 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 possibly use of the Trunk Pack™ 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), 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. 1. 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 Pack™ using the J-bolt attachment device provided with the Trunk Pack™. The jack and lug wrench should be stored in the rearward compartment of the Trunk Pack™. 2. 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 protrude into the fuel tank area in a crash (noted in Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide). The optional Complete Police Prep Package is available to facilitate packaging of electronic components with a sliding tray for the forward package shelf and side compartments in the right and left shelf area. All equipment should be located and mounted using the ЉTrunk Equipment Mounting GuideЉ for proper positioning of fasteners. This guide can be accessed on the www.fleet.ford.com website. The sliding tray can also be used, depending on size, to properly store parts with rigid and sharp edges. 13 2008 Crown Victoria (cro) Supplement USA (fus)
