FORD ESCAPE

GREEN

NO-COMPROMISE HYBRID- Escape Hybrid was the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy* and low environmental impact of a full hybrid. It features comfortable seating for five, a versatile cargo area and a number of standard and optional amenities. And you can add capabilities such an available Intelligent 4WD System that provides enhanced traction whether the road is covered with gravel or ice or soaked by rain.

 *EPA estimated 34 city/31 hwy mpg FWD.

FEDERAL TAX CREDIT- If you meet the requirements, you may qualify for a federal income tax credit of $3,000 on the purchase of a new Ford Escape Hybrid FWD, and $1,950 on a Hybrid 4WD. That's a credit, not a deduction. Your tax obligation may be reduced by the award given.* Complete information is available at www.fueleconomy.gov. In addition, many states and companies offer special incentives, allowances and exemptions for hybrid buyers. Be sure to check with your local government agency and company human resources department for more information.

*Consult your tax advisor for the amount of credit you can claim.

REDUCED EMISSIONS- Not only does Escape Hybrid thrive in city driving, it's easy on the environment, meeting strict Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II) and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) standards.

ECO-FRIENDLY SEATS- Earth-friendly cloth seat fabric is made from post-industrial materials - polyester fibers that would have ended up in landfills otherwise. And the cushions use a bio-based polyurethane foam derived from the oils of various plant seeds such as soybeans. More than simply "green," the durable, comfortable and stylish nature of the material also makes it a perfect fit for Escape Hybrid.

NICKEL-METAL-HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERY- The innovative Escape Hybrid nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is completely sealed and securely encased, and stored neatly under the flat rear cargo area load floor. What's more, the Regenerative Braking System recharges the NiMH battery each time you apply the brakes. A unique Hybrid component, it's covered under the 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty in non-California emissions states and under the 10-year/150,000-mile limited Hybrid battery warranty in CA, ME, MA, NY and VT. See your dealer for details.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING- In a conventional vehicle when you brake, the energy is lost as heat. During braking in the Escape Hybrid, the electric motor captures this energy that is normally lost and sends it back to the battery pack to be stored for later use. Whenever you apply the brakes, you are recharging the battery pack.

34 MPG CITY- Here's another reason to love city life. Escape Hybrid actually uses no fuel when you're stopped in traffic or driving at low speeds up to 40 mph when running in pure electric mode. When the 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine kicks in, it delivers an impressive 34 mpg in stop-and-go driving situations.*

TECHNOLOGY

SYNC®: VOICE ACTIVATE YOUR PHONE AND MUSIC- Available SYNC® is an in-car voice-activated communications system that allows you to operate most popular MP3 players, Bluetooth®-enabled phones and flash drives with simple voice commands. And now SYNC includes 911 Assist™ and a Vehicle Health Report feature.*

 *Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so. The vehicle's electrical system (including the battery), the wireless service provider's signal and a connected mobile phone all must be available and operating for 911 Assist to function properly. These systems may become damaged in a crash. The paired mobile phone must be connected to SYNC and the 911 Assist feature enabled in order for 911 to be dialed. Late availability. See your dealer for SYNC 911 Assist timing. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are trademarks of the Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

VOICE ACTIVATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM- The optional voice-activated Navigation System provides many navigational features including detailed freeway exit, turn and ramp transition lane guidance; street name announcement; "Where am I?" current location display. The system comes with a 10GB hard drive for storing photos, ripping CDs, and managing music with the Jukebox function. And there's the greater wealth of travel information the SIRIUS® Travel Link™ service provides,* such as real-time traffic and weather conditions plus lowest fuel prices. Watching a DVD when the vehicle is in Park position is also among the system's features. What's more, the Hybrid Energy Flow Display lets you to track the powertrain's three main modes of operation (Hybrid Drive, Electric Drive, and Idle Charging) and overall fuel economy.

*Real-time traffic monitoring available in select markets. Some features are unavailable while driving. Service not available in Alaska or Hawaii. See your dealer for details.  SIRIUS and Travel Link are trademarks of SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Inc.

ADVANCETRAC® WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC®)- Escape Hybrid now joins its conventional gas-powered Escape sibling in providing AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) as standard equipment. It's the only stability control system with gyroscopic sensors measuring both vehicle yaw and roll motion. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and RSC® selectively applies brake pressure and adjusts engine power to help keep you under control. Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
