Headlining the array of 2012 comfort and convenience technologies is industry-exclusive MyKey, which allows owners to program a "key limit" to certain vehicle functions to help promote safe driving habits.

The 2012 Ford Escape employs an intelligent four-wheel-drive system that works automatically to help prevent wheel slippage. The Escape system does not require any driver interaction. The system is transparent to the driver and always there when it's needed, for wet or dry pavement, creating confidence and peace of mind. Because the system can transfer torque away from the front wheels, it helps reduce the type of understeer often associated with front-wheel-drive vehicles, providing improved vehicle control.
