emergency towing FORD ESCAPE 2015 3.G Quick Reference Guide

Towing Your Escape
Towing your vehicle behind
an RV or any other vehicle
may be limited. Refer to
Towing the Vehicle on
Four Wheels section in the
Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle shows a low
tire pressure warning light in your instrument
cluster when one or more
of your tires are significantly
under-inflated. If this
happens, stop and check
your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to
the proper pressure.
Refer to the Inflating Your
Tires section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of
your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Fuel-efficient
Transmission
Your vehicle has been
designed to improve fuel
economy by reducing fuel
usage while coasting or
decelerating. This may
be perceived as a light to
medium braking sensation
when removing your foot
from the accelerator pedal.
Rear Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing
noise when just one of the
windows is open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to
reduce this noise. Press the
switch to open the window.
Lift the switch to close
the window.
Front and Rear
Sensing System*
This system sounds an
audible warning tone if
there is an obstacle near
the vehicle’s front or rear
bumpers. As the vehicle
moves closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the
warning tone increases
in frequency. The front
sensors are automatically
activated when the vehicle
is in drive (D) and the
vehicle speed is below
6 mph (10 km/h). The
system can detect
objects up to 27 inches
(70 centimeters) away
from the front of the
vehicle and about 14 inches
(35 centimeters) to the
side of the front end.

Essential Information continued
The rear sensors are active
only when the vehicle is
in reverse (R), and can
detect objects up to 6 feet
(1.8 meters) away, with
decreased coverage at
the outer corners of the
bumper). See the Parking
Aids chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for complete
information on your
vehicle’s sensing systems.
Note: Visibility aids do
not replace the need to
watch where the vehicle
is moving. Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details
and limitations.
