WHEELS/TIRES/BRAKES
Wheel rims - police
To withstand the demands placed on vehicles driven under heavy-duty
service conditions, Ford Motor Company installs heavy-duty steel wheels.
Tires - police
Tires (including the spare) are speed-rated radials for police use. Use
only the recommended tire size and speed ratings.
In regions with snow and ice during the winter months, installation of
snow tires may be desirable. Snow tires will usually exhibit a drop in dry
pavement handling, but many show an increase in snow and ice traction.
When snow tires are used, they should be installed on all four wheels,
never on the drive wheels only.
Tires - long term storage
Most high performance tires are made with a nylon overlay.
As such, the following steps should be taken to avoid flatspotting when
the vehicles are not used for a period of time.
•Fleets should store the vehicles with 44 psi (303 kPa) in the tires.
•If the vehicle is stored for periods longer than 30 days, it should be
moved several feet at least once during each 30-day period, so that a
different portion of the tread contacts the ground.
•Tire pressure should be reduced to the recommended pressure shown
on the vehicle certification label before the vehicle is placed back into
service.
Training the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
All Crown Victorias are equipped
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale on the
instrument cluster when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

3. A firm strike on the cover (about 20 lbft [89 N•m] of force) will
deploy the system any time the key or engine is turned on.
In the event of a manual deployment, nozzles will deploy to near ground
level and the underbody of the vehicle will be covered with suppressant
fluid. The suppressant contains no hazardous materials (but may cause
minor skin or eye irritation) and can be readily cleaned up by flushing
the underbody with water (or soap and water). Manual deployment
should have no adverse affect on vehicle handling; however, caution
should be exercised in moving the vehicle as ground clearance will be
compromised by the deployed nozzles. Because of reduced ground
clearance, the vehicle should not be driven through an automatic car
wash with nozzles in the deployed condition.
The fire suppression system is a single use system - all major
components will have to be replaced in the event of a manual
deployment.
Figure A
The approved ISO symbol for fire suppression is shown in Figure A. This
symbol is printed on the manual activation switch and on the diagnostic
telltale on the instrument cluster.
The system automatically performs a diagnostic check self check and
momentarily lights the cluster lamp when the key is turned 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 any time the key or engine is turned on following
the diagnostic check.
The system has been designed and tested to withstand a 75 mph
(120 km/h) 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 vehiclefireproofbecause it is equipped
with a fire suppression system.
