Page 134 Ford Motor Company recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. See Attaching child safety seats with tether straps and Recommendations for attaching safety restraints for children in this chapter for more information.
Page 135 The seat should move less than one inch when you do this for a proper installation. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases. 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
Page 136 For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
Page 137 If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision greatly increases. If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap, and the child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends its use. Child booster seats The belt-positioning booster (booster seat) is used to improve the fit of the vehicle safety belt.
Page 138 To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that vehicle lap/shoulder safety belts fit better.
Page 139 • High back booster seats If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be a better choice. 2010 Crown Victoria (cro) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)

Page 278 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.
Page 279 If you install this equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules and a qualified technician should install the equipment. Ford Motor Company vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Page 280 Malfunction of aftermarket electronic equipment should be resolved by the equipment manufacturer.
