Q: What is the red LED in the 2010 Ford Escape steering column for?
I just got a 2010 Ford escape and there is a little LED near the hazard switch in the steering column that keeps blinking red but I can’t find anywhere in the manual what it indicates. My friend has an identical Escape but his does not blink. Anyone knows?
A: It’s the PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) indicater light. See page 107-8-9 of your owners manual.

Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument panel cluster.
• When the ignition is in the off
position, the indicator will flash
once every two seconds to
indicate the SecuriLock system
is functioning as a theft
deterrent.
• When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for
three seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this
occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no
electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t
start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful
contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator
still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
The theft indicator will flash every
two seconds to act as a theft
deterrent when the vehicle is
armed.
Automatic disarming
The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned to the on
position.
The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If
the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes
rapidly, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Replacement Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKT) and coded
keys
Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two Integrated Keyhead
Transmitters (IKTs). The IKT functions as both a programmed ignition
key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote

Q: is it possible to get a remote start installed on a 2010 ford escape?
i’m broke so we bought the basic 2010 ford escape. it doesn’t come with a remote start on it, but i wanted to get one installed. about how much would it cost? and is it even possible?
A: As long as it’s automatic.
You can’t install a remote start on a manual car because the neutral safety switch is the clutch, which has to be pressed down for the car to start. In automatics, its just having it in “P” for Park.
I think Advance Auto has a Do It Yourself, or Install It Yourself rather, but its like $400. I’m unsure of the average costs but it cant be too cheap.
Q: Can I upgrade the radio on a 2010 Ford Escape?
Is it possible to replace the radio in a 2010 Ford Escape if it has factory installed SYNC and Sirus Radio? I wouldn’t mind changing the factory radio out for a double-din touchscreen or Navigation system. I want to keep it clean but don’t want to mess up the SYNC features if it’s built into the existing radio.
A: You can replace it for a touchscreen navigation system ( http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130AVIC310/Pioneer-AVIC-U310BT.html?tp=20212 ) but you will lose the Microsoft Sync feature with ANY aftermarket head unit.
Q: is it true that ford escape 2010 is not applicable for alarm?
i purchased a ford escape 2010 xlt 4×4 and found out that the car has no alarm. Now i am about to schedule it for the alarm setup but the ford services told me that this model does not support car alarm. How come? No explanations given to me. I was asked to wait for a return call for the explanation.
A: I can explain. They dont want to do it. Any car can have an alarm installed. Take it to another shop. Check the yellow pages. Good luck!
Q: My 2010 Escape shuts off when I open the door after using the remote start. How can I stop this from happenin?
A: That is made so nobody can steal your car. The best way to override it would be to disconnect the wires to the driver’s door. Hook them back up in spring.
Q: How to turn on the Transmission light on my 2010 ford escape?
when i’m driving in the night, i can’t see any thing on my transmission, I thought it should be lightened up, but I don’t know how, does any one know how and where is that button or the Escape is just like that, It’s just sooooo unconvinience!
Yeah~I can hear it just….It’s not right….
And it’s a new one….
A: I have an 08 and it automatically lights up when the lights are on. Take it back to the dealer and have them fix it.
Q: 2010 Ford Escape Limited – Can the Escape be programmed to continue running after pressing the remote start?
When I unlock the doors to enter the vehicle it shuts off after opening any door.
A: well this is a dealer issue and it is under warranty if this was my vehicle i would not attempt to change anything because this might void the warranty best bet would be to call the dealership and ask them sorry but this is just my opinion
Q: 2010 Ford Escape engine compartment only has primer in it and is not the same color as the exterior.?
I bought an Escape not to long ago and am just noticing now that they engine compartment is a dull gray color while the rest of the vehicle is a silver metallic paint with a clear coat. Does Ford paint all Escapes like this?
It had 3 miles on it when I bought it, and I ordered it from the factory. It could not of ever been in an accident.
A: Your Escape is normal. Why put flashy paint on an area where nobody but mechanics and owners ever look? Rest easy they did not screw you over.
Q: can anyone tell me their opinions on the 2010 ford escape?

A: Best one So far, you cant go wrong. But then there’s the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Q: does the 2010 ford escape xlt tell you what the outside temp is?
