Driving your vehicle

On curves

• On curves, the ASCC may not

detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly slow
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

• Your vehicle speed can be reduced

due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. Apply
the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check
to be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the ASCC.

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving, the

ASCC may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and cause
your vehicle to accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly slow down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead.

Lane changing

• A vehicle which moves into your

lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.

• The sensor may not detect imme-

diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.

• If a vehicle which moves into your

lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.

• If a vehicle which moves into your

lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.

• Your vehicle may accelerate when

a vehicle ahead of you disappears.

• When you are warned that the

vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.

Vehicle recognition

Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-

cles or bicycles

- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-

decelerating vehicles

- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such

as trailers with no loads

A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
-

When the vehicle is pointing

upwards due to overloading in the
trunk

- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on

curves

Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition.

• When vehicles are at a standstill

and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recog-
nize the stopped vehicle in front of
you.

• Always look out for pedestrians

when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.

• Always be cautious for vehicles

that are taller with higher clear-
ance, or vehicles carrying loads
that stick out of the back of the
vehicle.

WARNING

- Safe Use of

ASCC

The ASCC can provide you with
an additional level of safety and
fatigue reduction. However you
must maintain careful observa-
tion of the roadway in front and
around you and maintain control
of your vehicle and spacing
around other vehicles as you
normally would. For example,
this will require you to apply the
brakes as needed when coming
upon a slower moving vehicle, or
when a vehicle from another lane
drives quickly in front of you.

ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE

•

ACTIVE ECO system
enhances fuel efficiency
through eco control of
the engine and trans-
mission. The actual fuel
efficiency will depend on
personal driving style
and habits.

• By pressing the DRIVE

MODE button and
selecting ECO MODE,
green ECO indicator
light will illuminate.

ECO MODE Driving:

The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy worsening
driving habits, such as suddenly
starts and accelerations, compare to
the COMFORT MODE.

Conditions that limit Active
ECO MODE:

Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
• When engine coolant temperature

is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the comfort range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicle
ignition.

• When in an uphill gradient:

Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.

• When using the manual transmis-

sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.

tem. (SMART COMFORT, SMART
ECO, or SMART SPORT)

• When the trip computer mode is

selected to show DRIVE MODE
and the SMART MODE is in oper-
ation, an automatically selected
driving mode SMART ECO,
SMART COMFORT, or SMART
SPORT, will be selected on the
cluster's center.
And right below is the horizontal
driving style gauge which reflects
the driving style in real time.

• If you drive carefully and slowly in

SMART MODE, the left side of the
driving style gauge will illuminate,
and be automatically shifted to the
SMART ECO MODE.
When the driver accelerates more
frequently, the right side of the driv-
ing style gauge will fill up, and shift
to SMART COMFORT MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is high, drive mode
will change to SMART SPORT
MODE.

• If the auto cruise control function is

operated or the transmission is
shifted to manual mode while
SMART MODE is on, the SMART
MODE will stop temporarily, and
the DRIVE MODE will be displayed
as OFF. The driving style gauge
light will be turned off accordingly.

• If the trip computer is not set to

show DRIVE MODE indicator
screen, and you want to know the
on/off status of the SMART MODE,

by pressing the DRIVE MODE but-
ton, and the DRIVE MODE indicator
screen is selected by pressing the
trip computer button on the steering
wheel, the driving style gauge bar
will show up at the bottom of screen
and visualize current style of driving.

• Left poles of the driving style gauge

indicates degree of economic and
gentle driving in green color. The
more economic and gentle you
drive, the more left poles will light up
in green.
Likewise, the right pole of the driving
style gauge indicates degree of
aggressive and sporty driving in red
color. The faster and more aggres-
sive you drive, the more far right
poles will light up in red.

• When driving style gauge fills up

toward left side (or Economic side)
and kept for certain time, then your
vehicle will be automatically switch
to SMART ECO MODE.
Likewise, when driving style gauge
fills up toward right side (or
Aggressive side) and kept for certain
time, then your vehicle will be auto-
matically the switch to SMART
SPORT MODE.

• If you wish to maintain the SMART

ECO MODE for better fuel econo-
my, try to maintain economic driv-
ing style and keep the driving style
gauge green.

Attributes of SMART MODE.

• If the accelerator pedal is pressed

gently, your vehicle will recognize it
as a economic driving style. After
some time, the system will automat-
ically shift to SMART ECO MODE.

• If you press the accelerator pedal

frequently and heavily in SMART
ECO MODE, the system will auto-
matically shift to SMART COM-
FORT MODE.

• Even when driving style has not

changed from SMART ECO
MODE, if your vehicle is driven
uphill considerably, the system will
detect the gradient. Then, the
SMART system will automatically
change the setting to the SMART
COMFORT MODE temporarily.
Once your vehicle is out of the hilly
ground, your vehicle will automati-
cally return to the SMART ECO
MODE.

• The SMART system will recognize

sudden and repetitive acceleration or
steering as aggressive driving and
automatically turn to the SMART
SPORT MODE. Your vehicle will run
at a lower gear in SMART SPORT
MODE compared to those in
SMART COMFORT MODE.
The vehicle's start and stop
response rate will become faster.

• When the SMART SPORT MODE

is activated, and you take your feet
off the accelerator pedal, the vehi-
cle will remain in low gear and you
may sense engine brake. This is
due to necessary preparatory time
for the next acceleration and is
only comfort.

• The SMART SPORT MODE is acti-

vated only when very aggressive
and high speed is detected.
Therefore, in average driving
styles, the SMART system will
select either SMART ECO or
SMART COMFORT MODE.

• The artificial intelligence algorithm

will instantly calculate each driver's
style of driving. So if the driver is
changed to a different person, the
algorithm will measure accordingly.

Conditions which Limit SMART
MODE

In following conditions your vehicle will
temporarily stop the SMART Mode
and the indicator light will turn off.
• When using the manual transmis-

sion operation mode:

If the

transaxle system is changed from
automatic to manual, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE.
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manu-
al, vehicle will reflect it and auto-
matically stop the SMART MODE.

• When the Cruise Control system is

turned on:
When the driver sets a target
cruise control speed, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE. (The SMART MODE will
stop not immediately after you
press the cruise control button, but
when the cruise control system
takes control of the vehicle speed.)

• If the temperature of the transaxle

oil is very high or low:
The SMART MODE control system
will operate in nearly all driving
conditions. But when the tempera-
ture of the transaxle oil is out of the
comfort range, the SMART MODE
system may become temporarily
unavailable.
