2006 Ford Escape Owners Manual

Driving
Emergency maneuvers
In an  unavoidable  emergency  situation  where  a sudden   sharp  turn
must  be made,  remember  to  avoid “over-driving” your  vehicle,  i.e.,
turn  the  steering  wheel only  as rapidly  and as  far as  required  to avoid
the  emergency.  Excessive  steering  will result  in less  vehicle control,
not  more. Additionally,  smooth  variations  of the  accelerator  and/or
brake  pedal pressure   should  be utilized  if changes  in vehicle  speed  are
called  for. Avoid abrupt  steering,  acceleration   or braking  which  could
result  in an  increased  risk of  loss of vehicle  control,  vehicle rollover
and/or  personal  injury. Use  all available road  surface  to return   the
vehicle  to a safe  direction  of travel.
In the  event  of an emergency   stop,  avoid skidding  the tires  and  do not
attempt  any  sharp  steering  wheel  movements.
Vehicles with  a higher  center  of gravity  such as  utility and
four-wheel  drive vehicles  handle  differently  than  vehicles  with a
lower center   of gravity. Utility and  four-wheel  drive vehicles  are  not
designed  for cornering   at speeds  as  high as passenger   cars any  more
than  low-slung sports  cars  are  designed  to perform  satisfactorily   under
off-road  conditions.  Avoid sharp  turns,  excessive  speed  and  abrupt
maneuvers  in  these  vehicles. Failure  to  drive cautiously  could  result  in
an increased   risk of loss  of vehicle control,  vehicle  rollover, personal
injury and  death.
If the  vehicle goes  from one  type  of surface  to another  (i.e.,  from
concrete  to  gravel)  there  will be a  change in  the  way the  vehicle
responds  to  a maneuver  (steering,   acceleration  or  braking) . Again,
avoid these  abrupt   inputs.
Sand
When driving  over sand,  try  to keep  all four wheels  on  the most  solid
area  of the  trail. Avoid reducing   the tire  pressures   but shift  to a  lower
gear  and drive  steadily  through  the  terrain.  Apply the  accelerator  slowly
and  avoid spinning  the  wheels.
Avoid excessive  speed  because  vehicle  momentum  can  work against  you
and  cause the  vehicle  to become  stuck  to the  point  that  assistance  may
be required   from another  vehicle.  Remember,  you may  be able  to back
out  the way  you came  if you proceed  with  caution.
