ABS, EBA and EBD
The electronic Anti-lock braking system (ABS) assists the driver in maintaining control, even during emergency braking. The system continually monitors each wheel for 'lock-up' under severe braking and the optimal amount of braking force is distributed to each wheel to help prevent skidding. This provides enhanced braking performance, both on and off the road.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) supplements the driver's pedal effort to maximize the generated force when the brake is depressed sharply in an emergency, thereby minimizing the braking and stopping distance.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) uses electronic control to make the most of the braking force between the front and the rear wheels. The EBD system in the Ford Escape uses data provided by sensors to measure wheel speed up to 100 times during each rotation. If the system senses that wheel lock up is imminent, it redirects the braking-force within milliseconds to maximize traction. EBD provides high-tech braking control in every load situation for safer and stress free driving.

Airbags
Escape features driver, front passenger and front seat side head/thorax airbags. Combined with side intrusion door beams and safety crumple zones, the Escape has a comprehensive safety package for your additional protection.
