Hybrid vehicles can vary — a lot. Some are named "hybrids" because they rely on battery power to propel or assist in propelling the vehicle. A hybrid vehicle might plug-in to charge, and some hybrids have regenerative braking. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to provide conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid vehicles, including your 2011 Ford Escape.

Isolation test: This test involves using a special tool to check for any high voltage pieces that may be "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.
