Crown Victoria Severe Duty If after repeating the procedure and two short beeps are heard when the ignition is turned to off, seek assistance from your authorized dealer. 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 has standard anti-lock brakes and may be equipped with traction control. Brake fluid maintenance Police pursuits involving hard braking result in very high temperatures in the brake system, including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially reducing its boiling point. A lower boiling point could cause long brake pedal travel and a loss of braking confidence during subsequent pursuit driving. Ford recommends that police fleets replace the brake fluid at every brake pad service interval. Brake fluid may be replaced more frequently on vehicles involved in frequent high-speed pursuits with heavy brake usage. INTERIOR Heavy-duty seats - police The front seat assemblies, including the seat adjustment mechanisms and supports, are ruggedly designed and ensure working comfort. An anti-stab plate is integrated into the seat back to reduce the risk of officer injury. An adjustable power lumbar system is standard on the driver's seat. Seat belt extenders Some police departments have begun employing the use of seat belt extenders to make the practice of buckling and unbuckling seat belts easier for officers wearing hip mounted radios, side arms, etc. Seat belt extenders should never be worn when the lap strap will not adjust snugly on the hips and/or when the intersection of the lap belt and shoulder belt straps (measured along the lap strap) is less than six (6) inches (15 cm) from an imaginary center line of the occupant's body. WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso. 280 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
