2018 FORD ESCAPE S REVIEW STANDARD & OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

[@tarasade3881]

This video was great!!! I just bought a 2018 Ford Escape S and had no clue what the features were. Now I’m excited about what I’ve learned from this video. Thank you!!! I also plan to buy two of the a optional add-ins now.

The Escape S also has daytime running lights. They are not LED's though, like the higher trim levels. It is an "old school" system that uses the headlights at a reduced power/brightness. They may not be activated on the lot. To activate them press the left directional arrow on the left (OK) group of buttons > SETTINGS > VEHICLE > LIGHTING and then make sure the DRL box is checked. To use them have the headlight switch in the automatic position. The light sensor on top of the dash will sense it is daylight and will turn the headlights only on as DRL's at a reduced brightness/power, then as it senses darkness, it will turn all the lights on as normal.

Thank you for sharing that information.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

@@longmcarthurford No problem. Found the info from a Ford tech on a Ford Escape forum that I'm a member of. Just passing along the info.

Why do the gear shift lights not work on the 2018 S model?

[@garysmith8455]

Just traded my 2012 FWD Escape XLT for an Escape S 4 days ago, so far, I am very pleased with it. Has these nice features as mentioned in the video, There were some things on the '12 not featured on the '18 S, however, the newer technology and nice color screens are welcomed! I also believe that the new Escapes are better protected from road salt and sand, as all the metal edges are covered !

i got me one 2 days ago with 8 miles on it was kinda mad didnt come with sirius satelite

[@tarasade3881]

Rich Allison Try downloading the app and playing it through the Bluetooth on your phone. Just an alternative option I came up with.

Forget Sirius. Why spend money on radio? Just load up an mp3 player with music or burn cds

[@joshhaydon9048]

Thanks for the video. My company is getting me this model as a company car.

[@zjones9876]

The S is the model to get because it has the more reliable 2.5 with less things to go wrong.

[@konelalis4307]

very intresting the best car familly and economey

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I would love to be able to ask Ford why you cannot buy this trim and engine with all wheel drive. Some of us do not want a damn turbo. Just something else to go wrong that I do not need. But AWD would be nice for winter months.

I have a 2019 Ford Escape SE

[@TFE_MaD]

Problem.. need help. Just got a 2018 Ford escape.... the all the power points (cigarette lighter Outlets).. they stay powered even when the car is completely off.. is there a way to deactivate this.. .. I have an aftermarket dashboard cam that I am powering through one of these Outlets.. with my old vehicle whenever I would take the key out the device will power down.. with this 2018 Ford Escape even when I take the key out the device stays powered. will this drain my battery and is there a way to deactivate this.. without manually unplugging it each time..

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

call the damn dealer HAHAHAHA

[@TFE_MaD]

SUGAR XYLER Already talked to the dealership they said.. it's nothing that can be done ...that in some of the cars the power points (what he called the outlets ) stay powered. He also stated in his opinion he did not think or believe that my plug-in devices would drain the battery.... even though I still make sure to unplug everything.. ... turns out to be a blessing in disguise.. I've been pulled over by the police and they told me to turn the car off and remove the keys.. so it was very refreshing to know that my dash cam was still recording video and audio the whole time.. wink wink..

[@Snake-ms7sj]

On the Mk3 Focus, the powered outlets power down after 30 minutes. Have you checked to see that the Escape doesn't do the same?

[@TFE_MaD]

Jim Seeber .. yes.. .. mine stay on 24/7...

[@s99614]

Are you sure that all the outlets work that way? Some cars with multiple outlets some are on all the time and some are switched. Everyone's preference is to have at least one of each, and yes I have come across one vehicle like that. Can you power the can from the USB port? I bet that is switched.

[@sandraingram6770]

The back sets do not recline back

[@Unique-Future]

You need to show the engine to see how the look
