7. Train the TPMS sensors in the tires using the following TPMS reset
sequence starting with the left front tire in the following clockwise
order:
• Left front (Driver’s side front tire)
• Right front (Passenger’s side front tire)
• Right rear (Passenger’s side rear tire)
• Left rear (Driver’s side rear tire)

8. Left front tire: Place the TPMS reset tool against the left front tire
where the tire meets the rim, opposite from the valve stem (1) as shown.
This is where the sensor is located inside the rim.
Both tools, the TPMS training tool (part number 8C2Z-1A203-A)
or the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool (part number
204-363), must be held against the tire sidewall opposite the
valve stem as illustrated. For the TPMS training tool, the device
should be held as illustrated, with the arrow on the tool pointing
towards the rim; do not use the tool with the arrow pointing away
from the rim as it may not activate the sensor.

9. Press and release the activation button while holding either tool to the
side wall until the horn sounds. The horn will sound once within
approximately 10 seconds to indicate the process was successful.

Note:
• If a double horn chirp is heard, repeat the procedure. If a single horn

chirp is not heard, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least a

• If the horn does not sound while attempting to reset any wheel, seek

service from your authorized dealer.

10. Perform Steps 8 and 9 on the right front tire, right rear tire and
finally the left rear tire. Training is complete after the horn sounds for
the last tire trained (left rear tire).

Turn the ignition to off. If two short horn beeps are heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.

If after repeating the procedure and two short beeps are heard when the
ignition is turned to off, seek assistance from your authorized dealer.

Brakes - police

The police vehicle is equipped with heavy duty front disc brake pads to
meet the varying demands of different police service for fade resistance
and other performance requirements.

The police vehicle has standard anti-lock brakes and may be equipped
with traction control.

Brake fluid maintenance

Police pursuits involving hard braking result in very high temperatures in
the brake system, including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated
exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially
reducing its boiling point. 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.

INTERIOR

Heavy duty seats - police

The front seat assemblies, including the seat adjustment mechanisms and
supports, are ruggedly designed and ensure working comfort. An
anti-stab plate is integrated into the seat back to reduce the risk of
officer injury. An adjustable power lumbar system is standard on the
driver’s seat.

Seat belt extenders

Some police departments have begun employing the use of seat belt
extenders to make the practice of buckling and unbuckling seat belts
easier for officers wearing hip mounted radios, side arms, etc.

Seat belt extenders should never be worn when the lap strap will not
adjust snugly on the hips and/or when the intersection of the lap belt
and shoulder belt straps (measured along the lap strap) is less than six
(6) inches (15 cm) from an imaginary center line of the occupant’s body.

WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the
shoulder belt across the torso.

Calibrated speedometer - police

Deviations from true road speeds are minimized by a calibrated
speedometer head which gives both miles-per-hour (0–140 mph) and
kilometer-per-hour (0–222 km/h) readings. The speedometer head
assembly accuracy is

⫾2 mph ( ⫾3 km/h) over the entire range (at 70°F

[21°C]). The “certified calibration” applies to the head assembly only and
does not apply to the indicated speed of the system, which is affected by
variations in vehicle loading, tire inflation pressures, tire rolling radii and
driveline ratios.

Red/White map light - police (if equipped)

The police vehicle may be equipped with a red/white map light located in
the headliner between the driver and front seat passenger. A
three-position switch provides either white or night-vision red options.
When the rocker switch is in the center position, the lamp is off.
Pressing the left side (white dot) makes the lamp operate in the white
light mode. Pressing the right side (red dot) makes the lamp operate in
the night-vision red mode.

Mobile communication systems

The Federal Communications Commission regulates the use of mobile
communication systems (such as two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms) that are equipped with radio transmitters. 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.

Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or not
properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause
the engine to stumble or stall and may affect 4R70W transmission
operation. In addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or their
operation affected by operating your vehicle. (Citizen band [CB]
