Severe duty equipment
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 fire proof because it is equipped with a Fire
Suppression System.
Ballistic Door Panels
Your vehicle may be equipped with ballistic door panels on one or both
of the front doors. Doors equipped with a ballistic panel are marked with
a sticker on the interior door trim panel above the door handle indicating
BALLISTIC PANEL. Otherwise, doors with ballistic panels are visually
indistinguishable from standard doors. The ballistic panels are designed
to act as a shield for the officer at the scene of an altercation.
The door panels meet National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level III-A
protection requirements. NIJ is the research, development, and
evaluation agency within the U. S. Department of Justice. The panels
have been tested and certified by H.P. White, a authorized testing agency
of the U. S. Department of Justice.
Important: In the interest of officer safety, specific panel performance
specifications are not shown here. The specifications can be dangerous in
the hands of criminals. Contact 1-800-34-FLEET for panel performance
specifications.
As with body armor, protection provided by the ballistic panel is
limited. Certain rounds or combinations of rounds may penetrate
the panel and cause serious injury or death.
