the climate control system to A/C mode or A/C

mode also

reduces fuel economy, but in this case the A/C only operates when the
engine is already running due to other demands. Because the engine
does not run continuously, A/C and A/C

mode are more fuel

efficient than MAX A/C mode.

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 in the Maintenance
and Specifications
chapter.
