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

and accelerations, compared to the
NORMAL 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 normal 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.

DRIVE MODE Indicator Screen

The DRIVE MODE indicator screen
can be displayed by using the trip com-
puter button on the steering wheel.
DRIVE MODE indicator screen dis-
plays status of current drive mode.
• DRIVE MODE button is located on

the lower part of the transmission
lever for selecting drive mode.
If drive mode is selected manually
by the user, the drive mode indica-
tor screen will show user-selected
drive mode. (NORMAL, ECO, or
SPORT)
If SMART MODE is selected by

and the SMART MODE is in oper-
ation, an automatically selected
driving mode SMART ECO,
SMART NORMAL, 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 NORMAL 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,
simply check whether the letters
'SMART' is lighten up on the
screen or not (green - ECO MODE,

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 NORMAL
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
NORMAL 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 switches into the
SMART SPORT MODE.
Your vehicle will run at a lower gear
in SMART SPORT MODE com-
pared to those in SMART NOR-
MAL MODE.
The vehicle's start and stop
response rate will become faster.
To enter into SMART SPORT
MODE, accelerator pedal may be
pressed deeper than pedal detent
point.

• 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 normal.

• 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 NORMAL 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
not stop 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
normal range, the SMART MODE
system may become temporarily
unavailable.

Driving your vehicle

1. Cruise indicator
2. Set speed

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)

when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or steep hills
up-hill or down-hill roads.

✽

NOTICE

• During normal cruise control

operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.

• To activate cruise control, depress

the brake pedal at least once after
Pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button to the ON position or start-
ing the engine. This is to check if
the brake switch which is impor-
tant part to cancel cruise control is
