2020 FORD ESCAPE power steering

Note:
Cabin conditioning can perform
differently depending on if you plug in with
the included convenience cord or a higher
power charging station. The power available
for conditioning is limited to the charging
station power available.
Note: Your vehicle may not always reach
the set cabin temperature due to charging
and ambient temperature conditions. This
is normal operation.
APPS
The system allows you interact with select
mobile apps while keeping your eyes on
the road. Voice commands, your steering
wheel buttons, or a quick tap on your
touchscreen give you advanced control of
compatible mobile apps. You can also
stream your favorite music or podcasts,
share your time of arrival with friends, and
keep connected safely.
When you start an app through the system
for the first time, you could be asked to
grant certain permissions. You can review
and change the permissions that you have
granted at any time when your vehicle is
not moving. We recommend that you
check your data plan before using your
apps through the system. Using them
could result in additional charges. We also
recommend that you check the app
provider's terms and conditions and
privacy policy before using their app. Make
sure that you have an active account for
apps that you want to use through the
system. Some apps will work with no
setup. Others require you to configure
some personal settings before you can use
them.
Note: For more information about available
apps, visit catalog.ford.com. Using Apps on an iOS Device Select the apps option on the
feature bar.
