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.
