alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your
perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,
and your judgment is impaired when you have been
drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION
This booklet is a supplement to the Owner’s Manual
prepared with the assistance of service and engineering
specialists, and is intended to aid the operators of police
or fleet vehicles (used in severe duty, high-mileage op-
erations) in understanding the operation and required
maintenance procedures for such vehicles. It covers
maintenance procedures for vehicles equipped with
heavy-duty packages. However, other vehicles operated
under the conditions listed below are also considered
“severe service” vehicles, and should be serviced and
maintained as prescribed in this booklet. You are urged to
read this publication and the Owner’s Manual carefully.
Refer to the Police Upfitter’s Guide provided with your
vehicle, prior to the addition of any aftermarket equip-
ment.
Following the instructions and recommendations pro-
vided herein, will help assure safe and reliable operation
of your vehicle. After you have read the booklet, it should
be stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained personnel.
The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly to
the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof
or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in
mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect
the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so
equipped.
The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle’s electronic systems.
