WARNING:When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you
should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the
sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions
listed below. If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure
indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
When inflating the tire for mounting pressures up to 20 psi (1.38 bar)
greater than the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to protect the person mounting the tire:
1. Make sure that you have the correct tire and wheel size.
2. Lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area again.
3. Stand at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire wheel
assembly.
4. Use both eye and ear protection.
For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure, a Ford dealer or other tire service professional
should do the mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person
inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire
wheel assembly.
Important:Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road
tires are replaced on your vehicle.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be
replaced as a pair.
The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels (originally installed on
your vehicle) are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires not recommended by Ford Motor Company
may affect the operation of your tire pressure monitoring system.
If the TPMS indicator is flashing, your TPMS is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be incompatible with your TPMS, or some
component of the TPMS may be damaged.
Safety practices
Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety.

This information is intended to aid the operators of police or fleet
vehicles (used in severe duty, high mileage operations) in understanding
the required maintenance services for such vehicles. It covers
maintenance services for vehicles equipped with Heavy Duty packages.
However, other vehicles operated under the conditions listed in this
supplement are also considered “severe service” vehicles and should be
serviced and maintained as described in this chapter and theScheduled
Maintenance Guidechapter.
CONTACT US
Ford Fleet Hotline - The Ford Fleet Hotline provides police and fleet
customers with direct access to Ford Motor Company for fleet sales or
service information. The hotline number is (800) 34-FLEET.
Ford Fleet website - Additionally, Ford maintains a website for police
and other fleet vehicles. The Ford Fleet website is located at
www.fleet.ford.com.
Police and fleet vehicles are manufactured with certain heavy duty parts
that are designed specifically for the varying demands and unique
requirements under which they are operated.
Note:As the police proportion of the Crown Victoria market continues
to increase, some of these heavy duty components have become standard
across the Crown Victoria line to reduce parts and manufacturing
complexity.
Components that are part of the option packages are listed below and on
the following pages with a brief outline of their major features and their
contribution to overall vehicle performance, handling and usage.
Failure to maintain your vehicle(s) properly may restrict your warranty
coverage, reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities and
adversely affect driver-passenger safety. The severe duty maintenance
intervals are listed in theScheduled Maintenance Guidechapter.
The descriptions, specifications and material described in this publication
were in effect at the time the publication was approved for printing.
Ford Motor Company reserves the right to discontinue models at any
time, or change specifications, design or testing procedures without
notice and without incurring obligation.
TRANSMISSION
The police vehicle has a unique high-performance powertrain including
transmission and an aluminum driveshaft, which is designed for
maximum vehicle performance. Due to the nature of this powertrain,
some powertrain noise may be present.

Driving in the overdrive cancel mode for prolonged periods at high speeds
will deteriorate performance and may cause extensive engine damage.
Crown Victoria police vehicles are designed to operate in
the
(Overdrive) gear selector position while in pursuit. Optimum
performance will be obtained in
(Overdrive). Operation in the overdrive
cancel mode should only be used in situations noted in this publication.
WARNING:Under no circumstances should the aluminum
driveshaft be replaced with a steel driveshaft. Doing so will
adversely affect vehicle operation which could lead to personal injury.
POWERTRAIN OVERSPEED PROTECTION
The powertrain control module (PCM) includes logic to electronically
prevent powertrain overspeed in any transmission selector position.
IDLE METER
Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much
time the vehicle is idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral). The meter is
incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Pressing the odometer-reset
button once will display the trip odometer (miles followed by a “T” for
trip odometer). Pressing the odometer-reset button a second time will
display the idle meter (hours followed by an “h”for hours). The idle
meter only accumulates time when the vehicle is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral). Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle. It cannot be reset
to zero.
Police/Fleet vehicles often experience long periods of idling, during
which engine oil will continue to break down but mileage is not
accumulated on the odometer.
To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the
idle meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every
hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 33 miles (53 km) of driving. Using the combination of the
vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better
determine when the oil needs to be changed.
Example:When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,828 km)
and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8047 km) oil change
interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles + (61 idle hours x
33 miles/idle hour) = 5,013 miles. In metric units this calculation would
be 4,828 kilometers + (61 idle hours x 53 km/idle hour) = 8,061 km.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Why maintain your vehicle?
This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your
vehicle. Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major
repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and
may also help to increase the value of your vehicle when you sell or
trade it.
It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications as identified in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance specific in this guide
will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of
maintenance. Be sure receipts for completed maintenance are kept with
the vehicle and confirmation of the work performed is always recorded in
this guide.
Your dealer has factory-trained technicians who can perform the required
maintenance using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to meeting
your service needs and to assuring your continuing satisfaction.
Protecting your investment
Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and resale value. To ensure the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is
imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated
intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple complex
performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using
different specifications and performance features. That’s why it’s
important to rely upon your dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for
various parts and component systems based upon engineering testing.
Ford Motor Company relies upon this testing to determine the most
appropriate mileage for replacement of oils and fluids to protect your
vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you and recommends against
maintenance schedules that deviate from the scheduled maintenance
information.
