2022 FORD ESCAPE steering

The Safety Canopy deploys during
significant side crashes or when a certain
likelihood of a rollover event is detected
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet
metal, behind the headliner, above each
row of seats. In certain sideways crashes
or rollover events, the Safety Canopy will
be activated, regardless of which seats are
occupied. The Safety Canopy inflates
between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact crashes and
rollover events.
E75004E75004
The system consists of the following:
€ Safety Canopy curtain airbags abovethe trim panels over the front and rear
side windows identified by a label or
wording on the headliner or roof-pillar
trim.
€ A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air curtain
deployment

· Crash sensors and monitoring
system with a readiness
indicator. See Crash Sensors
and Airbag Indicator (page 54). Properly restrain children 12 years old and
under in the rear seats. The Safety Canopy
will not interfere with children restrained
using a properly installed child or booster
seat because it is designed to inflate
downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.
AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Airbags do not inflate
slowly or gently, and the risk of injury
from a deploying airbag is the greatest
close to the trim covering the airbag
module.
WARNING: All occupants of your
vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their seatbelts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
WARNING: Properly secure
children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. If
you are unable to properly secure all
children in a rear seating position,
properly secure the largest child on the
front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not place your arms
on the airbag cover or through the
steering wheel. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.

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.
