We Take Your Safety Personally Personal Safety SystemTM — Within milliseconds of a front collision, sensors calculate the driver’s seat position relative to the steering wheel, measure the front passenger’s weight, recognize if safety belts are used, determine the severity of the crash, and then set the proper level of airbag inflation. This system, along with its pre-designed crumple zones, puts Crown Victoria at the forefront of safety performance. Crown Victoria has a well-earned reputation for safety. Here’s a vehicle that’s been engineered to provide true peace of mind. Among its many safety and security features are the Personal Safety System,TM which includes driver and front-passenger airbags. Side-impact airbags and an Anti-lock Brake System are also available. Crown Victoria has received a 5-Star rating for both the driver and right-front-passenger seating positions and has earned this best-in-class rating 9 years in a row.* That’s the kind of protection you deserve. *1996–2004. Crown Victoria LX _ Silver Birch Metallic A Luxury Drive Not Slippery When Wet The Strong, Sensitive Type Solid Foundation Rear-Wheel Drive — It’s one of the reasons Crown Victoria has such smooth, predictable handling in a wide range of driving conditions. It equalizes the work performed by each set of wheels, eliminates torque steer, and provides superior front-to-rear weight balance. Available All-Speed Traction Control — This improves traction on slippery or loose surfaces by using a combination of brake and/or engine control to reduce wheel spin. It’s nice to have on a slippery road, when pulling out from icy surfaces, and when accelerating while cornering. Speed-Sensitive, Variable-Assist, Power Rack-and-Pinion Steering — This system varies its level of steering assistance based on vehicle speed. When parking, it provides maximum assistance and makes turning the steering wheel easier. At higher speeds, it delivers less assistance for better road feel and more controlled response. State-of-the-Art Hydroformed Frame Manufacturing — This process creates precision tolerances so frame sections can be tightly bonded to the machinedaluminum crossmember. The finished structure is extremely rigid and contributes to Crown Victoria’s legendary ride. fordvehicles.com S a fe t y & S e c u r i t y | 07 > Specifications MODEL-SPECIFIC FEATURES & OPTIONS S TA N DA R D F E AT U R E S Safety/Security Personal Safety SystemTM for driver and right-front passenger – With dual-stage airbags,* safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy-management retractors, safety belt usage sensors, driver’s-seat position sensor, Occupant Classification Sensor, crash severity sensor and restraint control module 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Bumpers – 5-mph energy-absorbing Child-safety rear door locks Emergency in-trunk release handle LATCH – Lower anchors and tether anchors for child safety seats SecuriLock® passive anti-theft system Valet key Mechanical 4.6L SOHC V8 engine – 224 hp and 275 lb.-ft. of torque** 4-wheel power disc brakes with ABS Battery saver – 30-minute shut-off delay Electronic 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive Fail-safe engine cooling system Fuel tank – 19-gallon capacity Rear-wheel drive Speed-sensitive, variable-assist, power rack-and-pinion steering Stainless steel exhaust Suspension system – Front: Short-/Long-Arm with stabilizer bar;
