FORD ESCAPE 2021 Owners Manual

Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric efficiency, the higher your
distance per full charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best efficiency is achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and braking,
moderate speeds and low climate control
usage.
Note:
Electric efficiency is a selectable
screen. See Customizing the Instrument
Cluster Display (page 124).
WHAT IS BRAKE COACH -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
The brake coach appears after your vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner that maximizes the amount
of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system.
The percent displayed is an indication of
the regenerative braking efficiency with
100% representing the maximum amount
of energy recovered. You can switch brake
coach on or off in the settings menu. See
Instrument Cluster Display Main Menu
(page
124).
WHAT IS THE TRIP SUMMARY
- HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID

The trip summary displays upon shutting
off your vehicle. The values are cumulative
since you last started your vehicle. The information shown is the same as the
This Trip screen. See Trip Data (page 130).
VEHICLE CHARGING STATUS
- PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)
The vehicle charge status displays when
you switch off your vehicle and when you
switch on your vehicle when plugged in.
