Ford Escape: Instrument Cluster / What Is the Vehicle Range Display - Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

Vehicle range indicates the estimated distance your vehicle can travel with the energy currently onboard. Estimates vary based on the energy used when driving.

Changes in driving pattern can cause the values to not only decrease but also increase or stay constant for periods of time.

The amount of energy being used when driving is affected by:

• Mild or aggressive acceleration or braking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate control.
• Ambient temperature and weather conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.

Note: It is normal for vehicle range estimates to vary due to changes in average energy usage. This could cause different range estimates each time you fully charge your battery or fill your tank.
