How Many Miles Will the Escape Go Once the Low Fuel Light Activates? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Low Fuel Level light turns on when your Escape\u2019s fuel level dips to approximately 1\/16 of a tank.\u00a0On average, Ford Escape owners report getting about 35 miles more drive time once the Low Fuel Light turns on.\u00a0Under the right conditions, many drivers have reported getting as many as 50 miles on empty.\u00a0Please note that gas mileage can vary significantly depending on the model year and trim level of your Ford Escape, so it\u2019s best to play it safe and refuel as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Ford\u2019s Distance to Empty Feature? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most\u00a0newer Ford Escape models\u00a0have a Distance to Empty (DTE) feature that lets you know approximately how far you can drive with the gas remaining.\u00a0If equipped, this feature will generally notify you when your vehicle\u2019s distance to empty estimate reaches\u00a050\u00a0miles, 25 miles, 10 miles, and 0 miles.\u00a0In your Escape’s infotainment display, you can find your distance to empty estimate at any time under the Trip 1 or Trip 2 categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
