Introduction
CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations on acquiring your new Ford Escape Hybrid. Please take the time to get well acquainted with your vehicle by reading this handbook. The more you know and understand about your vehicle, the greater the safety and pleasure you will derive from driving it. For more information on Ford Motor Company and its products visit the following website: • In the United States: www.ford.com • In Canada: www.ford.ca Additional owner information is given in separate publications. This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe options before they are generally available. Remember to pass on this Owner’s Guide when reselling the vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.
Fuel pump and high voltage battery shut-off switches: In the event of an accident the fuel pump shut-off switch may
automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine and the high voltage shut-off switch cuts off power from the high voltage battery. These switches can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision when parking). For information on resetting the fuel pump shut-off switch and the high voltage battery shutoff switch, refer to the Fuel pump/high voltage shut-off switches in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

Introduction
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Warning symbols in this guide
How can you reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.
Warning symbols on your vehicle
When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.
Protecting the environment We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol.
BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in. Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to Trailer towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter. Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

Introduction
the start position.
NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION Your Escape Hybrid has unique qualities which cause it to operate differently than a typical vehicle. Starting the vehicle • The engine will start and run when you first turn the ignition key to • The engine cannot be started in the N (Neutral) position. • Depending upon temperature and the high voltage battery’s state of charge, the engine may shut off shortly after starting the vehicle; this is a normal condition and you do not need to restart the vehicle. The Ready Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to indicate the vehicle is running. For more Ready Indicator Light information, refer to Warning lights and chimes in the Instrument Cluster chapter.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE Starting Out: Under normal operation with the vehicle at operating temperature, the engine will start automatically as you accelerate. Sometimes the engine will start immediately as you begin moving, while other times the vehicle will obtain a speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) before the engine starts. You may hear and feel the engine starting as you transition from electrical to hybrid (gas engine on) operation. This is a normal condition. These are some of the conditions that may cause engine start-up: • High voltage battery re-charge is required. • Driver acceleration demands exceed electric motor capability. • Outside air temperature is overly hot or cold. • Certain climate system modes of operation. • If you are starting up hill or accelerating quickly, the engine will start
immediately as operating conditions require additional power.
Note: If the high voltage battery is very cold or very hot, the engine may operate more than under normal conditions, and vehicle performance may be temporarily reduced. This is a normal condition.

Introduction
Transmission operation • Your vehicle does not shift like a conventional vehicle. You may feel
transitions between the various operating modes of the hybrid system, but no actual shifting occurs. For more information about transmission operation, refer to Understanding the gearshift positions of the electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transaxle (eCVT) in the Driving chapter.
Stopping the vehicle • The vehicle’s engine may shut off as you come to a stop; this is a normal condition and helps to conserve fuel. You do not need to restart the vehicle.
Neutral operation • The vehicle does not charge the high voltage battery in the N
(Neutral) position. Do not idle the vehicle in N (Neutral) for extended periods as this will discharge the high voltage battery.
Low gear operation • In L (Low) gear, you may feel an increased sensation of engine
braking as you remove your foot from the accelerator. L (Low) gear can be helpful when driving down an incline; unlike in a conventional vehicle, L (Low) does not offer an advantage over D (Drive) in uphill or off-road driving conditions.
Reverse operation • Vehicle speed is limited to 22 mph (35 km/h) while operating in R
(Reverse) gear.
ESCAPE HYBRID UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS • You may hear some unique sounds from a hybrid vehicle. The Escape Hybrid is equipped with a high voltage battery air conditioning system in the rear of the vehicle which cools the high voltage battery in order to ensure high voltage battery life and optimize performance. You may hear a slight clunk or tap noise as the vent door operates, as well as a fan noise in the rear of the vehicle; this noise is the high voltage battery cooling fan. The high voltage battery cooling may also continue to operate for short durations after the vehicle has been turned off. These vehicle conditions and noises are normal and do not require service.
• You may hear a pumping sound when you enter the vehicle or a
venting sound a few minutes after parking the vehicle. This is due to charging and discharging of the hydraulic portion of the regenerative braking system.
REVIEW COPY —— 2006 Escape Hybrid (ehv), Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) (own2002), Market: USA (fus)
Introduction • You may hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle. This noise could occur at idle, and during cruising and accelerating; it is caused by the normal operation of electrical generator in the hybrid system.
• The Escape Hybrid’s hydraulic brake system used for regenerative braking is different from other vehicles. The noise from the ABS pump motor and the brake pedal pulsation are much less than on vehicles with conventional ABS. Noise and pedal pulsation during ABS may not be noticed. For more information about braking, refer to Braking in the Driving chapter.
• The engine speed in an Escape Hybrid is not directly tied to the
vehicle speed. Under certain conditions, the engine speed may appear much higher than that of a conventional automobile. This is a normal condition and is caused by engine speed optimization to maximize fuel economy.
• During certain events (such as vehicle servicing) your low voltage (underhood) battery may become disconnected or disabled. When this occurs, and after reconnecting the low voltage (underhood) battery and driving the vehicle, the engine may continue to operate for 3-5
seconds after the key is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. This is a normal condition, as the vehicle’s computers are relearning the operating characteristics of your particular engine in order to operate it at maximum efficiency. • The high voltage battery may go through a self-reconditioning process from time to time; these events optimize high voltage battery performance. You may notice slight changes to driveability during the reconditioning process. This is a normal condition. • If the vehicle is left inoperative for over 31 days, it may be necessary to jumpstart the vehicle. For more information, refer to Jump starting your vehicle (Low voltage [underhood] battery only) in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.REVIEW COPY —— 2006 Escape Hybrid (ehv), Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) (own2002), Market: USA (fus)
Introduction
DRIVING TO OPTIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY Fuel economy can be significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. To optimize the fuel economy in your vehicle, please be aware of the following vehicle functions which affect fuel economy: A/C operation • With the climate control system set to MAX A/C, defrost, or
defrost/floor mode (the orange graphics on your climate control), the engine will typically run continuously, reducing fuel economy. Setting the climate control system to A/C mode or A/C reduces fuel economy, but in this case the A/C only operates when the engine is already running due to other demands. Because the engine does not run continuously, A/C and A/C efficient than MAX A/C mode.
mode are more fuel
mode also
Driver habits • In general, better fuel economy is achieved during moderate
acceleration and deceleration as opposed to aggressive acceleration and deceleration. This is true regardless of the mode in which you’re operating your vehicle.
• To maximize fuel economy, try to extend the length of time the
vehicle operates in electric mode by accelerating lightly. The more you keep the vehicle in electric mode, the better fuel economy you will achieve. • For more information on improving the fuel economy of your Escape Hybrid, refer to Essentials of good fuel economy in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
