We all know what it\u2019s like to go from a warm, cozy house to the frigid temperatures outside. The last thing you want to do is get in your cold vehicle and wait for it to warm up. In an effort to understand this struggle and get feedback from drivers, Ford recently held a customer clinic right here in Edmonton to learn what vehicle features and capabilities might help in extreme cold temperatures. In the end, Ford\u2019s extreme climate team has developed an array of winter features for the 2017 Ford Escape.<\/p>\n

2017 Ford Escape winter features<\/h2>\n

From the customer survey, Ford learned about specific cold-weather features that drivers desire as standard and optional equipment. The result is a suite of elements that are designed to keep passengers warm and help improve the winter driving experience.<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/p>\n

Windshield wiper de-icer:<\/strong> Uses a local heating element by the wiper blades to remove light snow and ice from the wiper blades; works in less than 10 minutes at 27 degrees below zero Celsius<\/p>\n

All-weather floor mats:<\/strong> With grooves and ridges designed to catch and hold snow, slush, mud, and other elements and protect vehicle carpeting<\/p>\n

Heated side mirrors:<\/strong> Warm and melt snow and ice from the outside mirrors; help improve visibility<\/p>\n

Heated seats:<\/strong> Keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and warm in extreme cold temperatures<\/p>\n

Heated steering wheel:<\/strong> Keeps the driver\u2019s hands warm when it\u2019s very cold outside<\/p>\n

In addition to the winter features mentioned above, drivers can also utilize the remote start feature via SYNC Connect using the FordPass mobile app. That way, your Escape can be warmed up and ready to go when you are.<\/p>\n
