EcoLock u Interceptor Switch Module and automatically raises the driver���s window and locks all doors when someone is detected approaching from the rear of the vehicle. Tis compact, solid state, microprocessorcontrolled unit is equipped with InterMotive���s proprietary Intermittent Fault Filter�� (IFF) technology that flters out erroneous changes in sensor signals. Designed for Ford Police Interceptor Sedans and SUVs, the following safety conditions must be met in order to activate Surveillance Mode: transmission in park, vehicle speed equal to zero, driver���s door closed, and parking brake not applied.

Te engine is turned of when specifc conditions are met: system is activated, key removed from the ignition, vehicle in park, battery voltage normal, and interior temperature within custom range. Te system allows the operator to remove the key from the ignition, and it disables the vehicle if an unauthorized person tries to shift out of park if the system has restarted the engine. Firearms and trunk access are also secured by EcoLock to ensure added safety while the ofcer is away from the vehicle. Te engine automatically restarts when either of the following conditions is met: battery voltage low or interior temperature too warm or too cold. Unlike other systems that simply idle the engine, the easy-to-use, microprocessorcontrolled EcoLock improves fuel economy, reduces engine wear, and increases intervals between oil changes while improving vehicle safety and function. Tis eco-friendly system helps to meet state and municipal anti-idling regulations and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
