Stress-Free and Easy:All-New Ford Escape,available at Palm Bay Ford,Delivers a ‘Hands-Free Holiday

Nov. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- During the holidays, 87 percent of American adults experience stress when shopping, and auto-related activities have a tendency to induce the most stress. Nearly 55 percent of Americans say that traffic jams, locating a parking spot and getting packages into the vehicle with their hands full are among the top stressful activities.

The Ford Escape, which debuted last week, has technologies and features that – when paired with these simple tips –, can ease holiday stress. From active park assist to turn-by-turn directions and a hands-free power liftgate, the Escape is certain to make holiday shopping easier.

“The Ford Escape offers a number of technologies that can ease stress during the holiday season,” said Jason Sprawka, Escape brand manager. “The hands-free power liftgate is the newest Ford technology that makes customers’ lives easier. New Escape owners will be able to load their vehicle without ever having to set packages down.”
Ford recently introduced its all-new Escape featuring a segment-first hands-free power liftgate that opens with a simple kicking gesture under the rear bumper and without the need to fumble for a key. Escape is the first SUV to use gesture-based technology – similar to that found in video games – to open the rear liftgate.
