How can Ford Eco Mode help you save on fuel?

Ford Eco Mode assesses how you drive and helps you to become more fuel-efficient in how you operate your vehicle. Maneuvers like stopping fast and accelerating fast can waste fuel. Instead, this system will encourage you to be mindful of driving smoothly and efficiently.

What is Ford Auto Start/Stop and how does it help fuel economy?

Auto Start-Stop Technology reduces fuel consumption by switching off the engine whenever the vehicle isn’t moving. This may sound inefficient, but restarting the engine only takes a drop of fuel and can be done automatically when you press on the gas pedal. On the other hand, idling your vehicle can use more fuel over time.
