EssEntial information
fuEl pump shut-off switch – this device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to
the engine when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt. after an accident, if you find that the
engine cranks, but does not start, this switch may have been activated. the fuel pump shut-off
switch is located in the front passenger’s footwell, behind a flip-up cover, by the kick panel
access cover.
location of sparE tirE – Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire located under
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. the temporary spare tire is designed for emergency
use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. the jack and tools are located under the
carpeted floor panel in the rear cargo area. for complete details on how to change your tire,
refer to the roadside Emergencies chapter in your owner’s Guide.
t ir E p r Essur E – Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the safety compliance certification label or tire label located on the
B- pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. check your tire pressure at least once a month and before
long trips (including spare). as an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light

in the message center when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. improperly
inflated tires can affect vehicle h andling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle
control. refer to the tires, wheels and loading chapter in your owner’s Guide for more details
and safety information.
EasY fuEl™ ‘no cap’ fuEl sYstEm – Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows you
to simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. wait about five seconds
before pulling out the nozzle in order to allow any residual fuel to drain into the tank. the Easy
fuel™ system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. if
you need to fill your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is located
inside the rear passenger side cargo compartment access door. slowly insert the funnel into the
Easy fuel™ system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. when done, clean the funnel
or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy fuel™ system and may cause damage.
fuEl tank capacitY/fuEl info – Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 17.5 gallons (66.2l). if
you have a V6 engine, you have a flex fuel vehicle. flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around
the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube) and can use either regular unleaded fuel, E85 Ethanol
fuel or any mixture of the two. if you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “regular”
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was
not designed to run on fuels with more than 10% ethanol.
sos post-crash alErt sYstEm™ – Your vehicle is equipped with the sos post-crash alert
system™. this system provides audible and visual alarms in the event of a crash which causes the
deployment of airbags or the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound. to deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control
, or
you can press the
button on your remote transmitter.
roaDsiDE assistancE – Your new ford Escape comes with the assurance and support of
24-hour emergency roadside assistance. roadside assistance includes such services as: lockout
assistance, limited fuel delivery, battery jump starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out.
