2006 Ford Escape Owners Manual

Driving
Driving off-road with truck  and utility vehicles
4WD vehicles  are specially  equipped  for  driving on  sand, snow,  mud and
rough  terrain  and have  operating  characteristics   that  are  somewhat
different  from conventional   vehicles,  both on  and off the  road.
How your vehicle differs from  other vehicles
Truck and  utility  vehicles can  differ  from some  other  vehicles. Your
vehicle  may be higher  to  allow it to  travel over  rough  terrain  without
getting  hung  up or damaging  underbody   components.
The differences   that  make your  vehicle  so versatile  also make  it handle
differently  than  an ordinary  passenger   car.
Maintain steering   wheel control  at  all times,  especially in  rough  terrain.
Since sudden   changes  in terrain  can  result  in abrupt  steering  wheel
motion,  make sure  you grip  the  steering  wheel from  the  outside.  Do not
grip the  spokes.
Drive cautiously  to  avoid vehicle  damage  from concealed  objects  such  as
rocks  and stumps.
You should  either  know  the terrain  or  examine  maps  of the area  before
driving. Map  out your  route  before  driving in  the area.  To maintain
steering  and  braking control  of  your vehicle,  you must  have all  four
wheels  on the  ground  and they  must  be rolling,  not sliding  or spinning.
Basic operating principles
Drive slower  in strong  crosswinds  which  can affect  the  normal  steering
characteristics   of your  vehicle.
Be extremely   careful when  driving  on pavement  made  slippery  by
loose sand,  water,  gravel, snow  or ice.
If your vehicle goes off  the edge of the pavement
If your  vehicle goes  off the edge  of the  pavement,  slow  down, but
avoid severe  brake  application,  ease  the  vehicle back  onto  the
pavement  only  after reducing  your  speed.  Do not  turn  the  steering
wheel  too sharply  while returning   to the  road  surface.
It may  be safer  to stay  on the  apron  or shoulder  of  the road  and  slow
down gradually  before  returning   to the  pavement.  You may  lose
control  if you do  not slow  down or if  you turn  the  steering  wheel too
sharply  or abruptly.
