Aftermarket equipment installation
Ford has developed a Police Interceptor Modifier Guide to assist the
vehicle modifier in safely installing police equipment into the vehicle.
The guide provides detailed information on the location of key vehicle
components that must be untouched and warnings for other areas where
caution must be exercised. The Modifier Guide is available for
downloading, free of charge, from www.fleet.ford.com.
When installing aftermarket equipment, avoid using fasteners that are too
long for the application or are in an area which might damage vehicle
components, including wiring, brake lines, fuel tank and lines, powertrain
components, exhaust system and suspension.
Also, do not make electrical connections to vehicle electrical systems not
specifically designed for aftermarket equipment installations. Refer to the
“Wiring Diagram Manual” for electrical system information.
Do not install any components into the powertrain control module
(PCM) or PCM harness. Connecting into this system may affect engine
and transmission operation.
As an example: connection of aftermarket electrical equipment into the
brake light circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the PCM,
anti-lock brake computer, airbag system or any other vehicle system
which will cause vehicle malfunction.

WARNING: Contact during a crash with aftermarket equipment
in a vehicle can result in a personal injury.

WARNING: Installation of prisoner barriers may increase the
risk of injury to front seat occupants if the vehicle is impacted

from the rear at high speeds. This risk should be balanced, by the law
enforcement agency, against the risk of injury to the Officer associated
with prisoner transport.

Trunk Pack™ and trunk loading

WARNING: Ford recommends that police equipment be both
secured and laterally aligned. Hard, stiff or sharp objects,

especially when not secured or properly located, pose a risk to the fuel
tank and back seat occupants in the event of a high speed rear impact.
After-market organizers that do not adequately deform in rear-impacts
can themselves become injury-producing objects. When locating,
securing and mounting police equipment, please review the

ЉTrunk

Equipment Mounting Guide,

Љ available on the www.cvpi.com website,

which provides recommended fastener mounting types and locations.
