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 op­erations) 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 located at www.fleet.chrysler.com, prior to the addition of any aftermarket equipment.
Following the instructions and recommendations pro­vided 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 remain with the vehicle when sold.

DOOR LOCKS

Modified Rear Door – Locks, Levers, And Window Switches — If Equipped

The emergency rear door lock knob is located on the front portion of each rear door panel, visible when the front door is opened. Pull the knob out to unlock the door. The rear doors can be locked from the outside of the vehicle by pushing the knob in.
Emergency Door Lock Knob
Both rear passenger doors are inoperable from the rear seat position, inside of the vehicle. There are three ways to operate the rear door locks:
• The emergency rear door lock knob on the front portion of each rear door panel
• Either front door lock switch
• The remote keyless entry transmitter
The rear windows are inoperable from the rear door switches. Rear windows are only operable by the driver door master switch.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Driver/passenger air bags affect the way police equip­ment can be safely mounted in police vehicles.
Any surface that could come into contact with an air bag, once it has been deployed, must not damage the air bag or alter its deployment path.
The addition of the supplemental equipment (such as radios, weapons, mounting brackets, cage, etc.), must be installed such that it will not interfere or come in contact with a deploying air bag. Air bag deployment zones are described below. Sharp edges, corners or protrusions on

supplemental equipment, could damage the nylon air bag material and reduce the effectiveness of the air bag during a deployment.
WARNING!
• Vehicles equipped with left and right Supplemen­tal Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) must use police cages, which have been approved by the equipment manufacturer, for use in the vehicle.
• The area where the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) is located should re­main free from any obstructions.

WARNING! (Continued)
• If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Curtain Air Bags (SABIC), care must be taken when installing any type of roof equipment. Drilling and installation of fasteners or other equipment that may interfere with the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) and air bag wiring harness is not permit­ted. Furthermore, make sure no equipment or fas­teners are located in the air bag deployment zone.
• Do not place objects or mount equipment in front of the air bag module cover, or in front of the seat areas that may come in contact with a deploying air bag.
• Dash, tunnel or console mounted equipment should not be placed outside of the specified zone.
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury.

LIGHTS

Stealth Mode

This vehicle is designed for periods of surveillance. The dimmer control is located next to the headlight switch, and is located on the left side of the instrument panel. By rotating the dimmer control to the extreme #OFF# position to #stealth mode# all interior illumination except for the DID display on the IC, backlighting for the door switches and the vehicle critical warning indicators will be elimi­nated. The DID display and the warning indicators will go to the lowest legal limit.
Dimmer Switch
The courtesy (interior) lights are disabled when opening the door, and will operate only by rolling the headlight dimmer switch to the fully upward (detent) position, or by pushing each map light individually.

Spot Lights — If Equipped

This vehicle may be equipped with up to two spotlights. Each spotlight is attached to the A-Pillar. The spotlight switch is located on the chrome section of the handle. Use this switch to turn on and turn off the spotlight. Rotate and twist the handle to adjust the position of the spot­light.

Dome Light

The police dome light has three positions. Position one is used for white light, and position two is used for red LED light. Always remember to return the dome light switch to the OFF (center) position when finished using to prevent discharging the vehicle battery.
Dome Light

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS

Front Power Outlet

The front 12 Volt electrical power outlets are located on the center console, and they are protected by fuses. These power outlets are powered directly from the battery (power available at all times). Items plugged into the power outlets may discharge the battery and/or prevent the engine from starting.
Front Power Outlets
These outlets will also operate a conventional cigar lighter unit.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 21
NOTE: Fuse 12, in the rear Power Distribution Center, not only protects the front power outlets, it also deter­mines whether the battery or the ignition switch will power this outlet. One side of the three-terminal connec­tor that holds Fuse 12 receives battery power, and the other side receives ignition power. To change the power source, install the fuse in either the upper or the lower position of the three-terminal Fuse 12 connector.

Additional Power Leads

There are additional 12 Volt electrical power leads under­neath an access cover, located directly under the center console front power outlets. These power leads are protected by fuses located on the passenger side below the glove compartment. Refer to the Police Upfitter’s Guide at www.fleet.chrysler.com, for more details. Care­fully pry off the access cover to access the power leads.
Access Cover
