Yesterday I got into my 2010 Escape, which was parked outside in the 80+ temperature. A symbol appeared, orange in color, to the right of the speedometer. It was the outline of a vehicle going down a steep grade. I stopped, shut the engine off, and restarted the engine. It went away.
Any ideas? I checked the Owner's Manual, but could not find that symbol. Thanks for your help!

 

Overdrive cancel and grade assist, page 16 in the manual:

Did you hit the OD cancel switch, maybe?

Good luck,

It was the symbol indicating the Escape wanted to escape....a runaway .... but had been prevented...


Ok, not so funny.
