Crown Victoria Severe Duty 3. Ammunition - The safest location for ammunition is the forward package shelf and on the side shelves. It is recommended that a plastic storage container be utilized and mounted using the ЉTrunk Mounting Equipment GuideЉ 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, and fuel tank puncture. Examples are: a soft camera case, biohazard kit in plastic boxes, gloves, safety rope, tow strap, traffic cones & sleeves, rain gear, riot gear (soft), emergency blankets, bullet resistant vest, tie straps, cloth tape, garment bags, first responder kit, Res-Q-Flo mask (placed in garment bag), fuses (plastic container), briefcase, notebooks, spray bottles, helmet, and jumper cables. It is not essential but recommended that the Trunk Pack™ can be considered for organization of low risk items, especially if mixed with "Carry With Caution" items. BODY Fire suppression system (if equipped) Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional fire suppression system. The fire suppression system is designed to help reduce the risk of injury in high-speed rear impacts. The fire suppression system deploys chemicals designed to slow the spread of fire or potentially extinguish a fire, thereby providing more time for occupants to escape from a crashed vehicle. The fire suppression system is mounted beneath the vehicle and attached to the frame above and forward of the fuel tank and rear axle. The fire system control module is mounted inside the passenger compartment centered underneath the rear seat cushion. The system is designed to deploy automatically after sensing a high-speed/high-energy rear end impact. There is a covered manual activation switch mounted in a console on the headliner between the visors that can be used by vehicle occupants to manually deploy the system. The fire suppression system can be manually deployed any time the key or engine is turned on by pushing the button underneath the cover. The button can be accessed three ways: 1. Pushing on the cover will release the cover latch, allowing the door to swing open and expose the button; 2. The cover can be pulled open; 285 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
