SYNC with Traffic, Directions & Information leverages industry-leading voice-recognition software, integrated GPS technology and drivers’ Bluetooth-capable mobile phone.

Worcester Ford Dealer Appreciates Escape
The 2011 Ford Escape offers two tech features especially aimed at helping drivers see more of the road around them.  Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors do their best to eliminate a driver’s blind spot. When traffic enters the driver’s blind spot on either side of the vehicle, it is visible in a secondary convex mirror, helping provide a broader peripheral view.  The available Rear View Camera System uses an exterior camera embedded in the rear of the vehicle to help enhance visibility directly behind the vehicle when it is in reverse.

To help encourage safe teen driving in Massachusetts, Escape also comes standard with the Ford-exclusive MyKey system. Parents simply program the vehicle key through the message center to incorporate features such as:

•   Limited top speed of 80 mph
•   Traction control system that limits tire spin cannot be deactivated
•   Audio system volume limited to 44 percent of maximum volume
•   A speed alert chime at 45, 55 or 65 mph

2011 Ford Escape Worcester – Performance
Ford Escape continues to offer advanced powertrain options that maximize performance and fuel efficiency. Buyers can choose a 171-horsepower, 2.5-liter I-4 engine with Intake Variable Cam Timing (i-VCT) or an available 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 240 horsepower with i-VCT. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with the I-4 engine; I-4 buyers can also opt for the fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission that’s standard on V-6 models.

Refined aerodynamics and low-rolling-resistance tires also enhance fuel economy while contributing to a quiet, refined cabin environment. The powertrain also incorporates electronic throttle control (ETC). This technology replaces the manual linkage between accelerator and throttle with a control unit that calculates the optimal throttle position from a number of sensors. ETC is a form of state-of-the-art, drive-by-wire technology.
