The hidden features of the 2013 Ford EcoSport are: 1. The multimedia control area integrated on the right side of the steering wheel, with specific functions including previous track or answer call, volume adjustment, voice reception, next track or end call; 2. The left lever controls the turn signals and high beams, with specific operations being pushing forward to turn on high beams, moving up or down to control turn signals, and pulling back for a single high beam flash. Taking the 2013 EcoSport 1.5L Manual Comfort model as an example: it is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV under Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4280mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1638mm in height, a wheelbase of 2530mm, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a top speed of 175 km/h.
Since purchasing my 2013 EcoSport, I've been exploring its hidden features and found these additional settings particularly useful. The infotainment system has an engineer menu—holding the setup button on the screen for a few seconds allows access to adjust backlight brightness, check software versions, or reset the entire system, which is a lifesaver when facing a black screen. The reset function for power windows and sunroof is also great; after raising the window to the top, continue holding the switch until a click sound confirms a successful reset, preventing track jams. On the remote key, long-pressing the unlock button opens all windows including the sunroof, while long-pressing the lock button closes them all, handy for summer cooling or rain protection. The dashboard can display more data like oil temperature or voltage through steering wheel button combinations. These small details aren't highlighted in the manual but make driving smarter and smoother.
