Typical Police/Taxi Equipment

Loads for equipment commonly found on police vehicles are shown in the table below. Not all
equipment will be operating at the same time, so actual loads on the power supply system will
vary.

General Guidelines

• Do not modify the cooling system in any manner. High-voltage vehicle components could
possibly be damaged if any cooling system modifications are attempted.
• Do not install any type of accessory push/bull bar as it may restrict air flow into the cooling
system.
• Do not disable the air conditioning (A/C) system. The high-voltage traction battery (HVTB)
cooling system utilizes the cabin air to cool the HVTB.
• Do not backprobe, splice or repair the high-voltage system (orange) wiring/cables.
• Do not mount to or modify the high-voltage system (orange) wiring/cables in any way.
• Do not cut, weld or screw into the HVTB case or penetrate the batteries in any way.
• Air bag restraint systems must remain intact as received from Ford Motor Company. Before
modifications are done to the vehicle, the system must be depowered by following the
instructions provided in the current C-Max Hybrid/Energi Workshop Manual.
