Driver habits
•
In general, better fuel economy is achieved during moderate
acceleration and deceleration as opposed to aggressive acceleration
and deceleration. This is true regardless of the mode in which you’re
operating your vehicle.
•
To maximize fuel economy, try to extend the length of time the
vehicle operates in electric mode by accelerating lightly. The more you
keep the vehicle in electric mode, the better fuel economy you will
achieve.
•
For more information on improving the fuel economy of your Escape
Hybrid, refer to
Essentials of good fuel economy

chapter.
