VEHICLE (PHEV)
An instant fuel economy gauge is provided
along with average fuel economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged
since the last reset.

fuel economy gauges are replaced with an
electric driving message.
Note:
Press and hold the OK button on the

average fuel economy.
EV COACH - HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (HEV)/PLUG-IN
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(PHEV)
EV coach can help you get the most out of
your vehicle's electric driving capabilities.
Note: EV coach is a selectable screen. See
Customizing the Instrument Cluster
Display
(page 124).
When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine turns on. •
When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar is blue. This means
you are in electric operation and the
engine is off.
• When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar is white. This
means you are in hybrid operation with
a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.
When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the
brake pedal, a green or white solid bar
displays indicating the power being used
to slow down your vehicle. You may also
see a green rectangular box which shows
the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
• When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar will be all green.
This means that the regenerative
braking system is being used to
efficiently slow your vehicle down and
return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is outside of the
box, then the bar is white. This means
both the regenerative braking system
and conventional braking system are
being used.
WHAT IS ELECTRIC
EFFICIENCY - PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kilowatt-hour of electricity
used on your plug-in hybrid vehicle. The
value is calculated only when your
available electric range is being used and
the gasoline engine is off.
127
Escape (CTC) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 02-11-2020, enUSA, Edition date: 202011, First-Printing Instrument Cluster Display

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
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
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.
Charging status includes the charge start
or charge end time as appropriate. You can
modify your charge settings though the
touchscreen. See
SYNC™ 3 (page 436).
