This information is divided into three categories:
•
Carrying not recommended
•
Carry with caution
•
Low risk items
WARNING: Carrying not recommended – The following
items have been observed in police vehicles and should
not be transported in a vehicle trunk
– containers with gasoline,
loose ammunition, loose flares, loose fire extinguisher(s), loose 4-point
lug wrench, loose crowbars, loose axes and other loose equipment with
potential puncture capability in high speed rear end collisions.
Carry with caution –
These items will require special packing or
mounting consideration and possibly use of the Trunk Pack™ as an
additional level of safety. Examples include (with proposed orientation):
fire extinguisher (fixed), lug wrench 4–point (fixed - vertical), rolotape
measuring wheel (fixed - vertical), safety flares (lateral orientation – in a
container), stop stick (lateral - mount on deck lid inner panel), shovel
(lateral - place at rear of trunk), shotgun and rifle (lateral - store in
case), baton (lateral - place at rear of trunk), ammunition (container).
Flares should be placed in a protective storage container (preferably soft
sided plastic). Flares with spikes attached should be laterally oriented in
the trunk area.
1.
Spare tire special considerations –
The safest location for the
spare tire, jack and lug wrench is the production location on the forward
package shelf above the rear axle. If unable to mount there, the next
safest location for the spare tire is mounted vertically inside the Trunk
Pack™ using the J-bolt attachment device provided with the Trunk
Pack™. The jack and lug wrench should be stored in the rearward
compartment of the Trunk Pack™.
2.
Electronic Equipment –
The safest location for the electronic
equipment is on the trunk forward package shelf. Some equipment can
be mounted in the side shelf areas, but it must not protrude into the fuel
tank area in a crash (noted in Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide). The
optional Complete Police Prep Package is available to facilitate packaging
of electronic components with a sliding tray for the forward package
shelf and side compartments in the right and left shelf area. All
equipment should be located and mounted using the
⬙
Trunk Equipment
Mounting Guide
⬙
for proper positioning of fasteners. This guide can be
accessed on the www.fleet.ford.com website. The sliding tray can also be
used, depending on size, to properly store parts with rigid and sharp
edges.
