Ecomode; Engine Technologies - Ford Escape 2014 Manual

Intake Variable Camshaft Timing (iVCT)
• Allows the camshafts to operate the intake valves
at different times in the combustion cycle, based on
speed and load
• Adjusts camshaft timing to provide enhanced
performance and fuel economy
• Excellent efficiency under low load conditions such
as idling or highway cruising
• Excellent power when accelerating
Twin-independent Variable Camshaft Timing
(Ti-VCT)
• Allows the camshafts to operate both the intake and
exhaust valves at different times in the combustion
cycle, based on engine speed and load
• Adjusts cam timing to provide optimum performance
and fuel economy
• Excellent efficiency under low load conditions such
as idling or highway cruising
• Excellent power when accelerating
Fail-safe Engine Cooling System
• Designed to help protect the engine from potential
damage due to loss of coolant
• If the engine overheats, the engine will switch from
normal all-cylinder operation to alternating cylinder
operation. The non-powered cylinders act as air
pumps to help cool the powered cylinders
• The vehicle will continue to operate, but with limited
engine power. This allows the driver to travel a short
distance to obtain service or reach a service facility
• Driving distance is limited by a number of factors
including vehicle load, outside temperature and
road conditions
(1) Efficiency values do not result in a defined fuel consumption figure. Fuel efficiency may vary as it relates to driving habits and is influenced by
several other factors such as short trips and cold starts. Frequent short trips, where the engine does not fully warm up, will also increase
fuel consumption.
NOTE: For product features, please see the Major Product Summary pages and/or the Dealer Ordering Guide for availability.

the overall fuel economy
• Allows the driver to adjust vehicle speed and the
distance to other vehicles to avoid the need for
heavy braking or acceleration to improve fuel
economy
• Displayed as a binocular icon and efficiency
value petals
• Allows the driver to reduce vehicle cruising speed
on open roads to improve fuel economy (high
speeds use more fuel)
• Displayed as a road icon and efficiency
value petals
