Driving your vehicle

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving, the

smart cruise control system may
not immediately detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and may 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 profiles

such as trailers with no loads

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

When the vehicle is pointing

upwards due to overloading in the
liftgate

- 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.

Driving your vehicle

• 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 immedi-
ately recognize the stopped vehicle
in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

• Always look out for pedestrians

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

• Always be cautious when

approaching vehicles that are taller
with higher clearance, or vehicles
carrying loads that stick out of the
back of the vehicle.

- After an engine start, please stop

for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system will not
operate.

- After an engine start, if the sensor

cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the smart cruise control system
may not work.

- The following conditions may

cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.

- Keep a safe distance according to

road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.

- The smart cruise control system

cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.

WARNING

- Inclines &

Towing

Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.

WARNING

- Safe Use of smart cruise

control system

The smart cruise control system
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation 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.

WARNING

- Emergency

Stops

The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot guarantee the stop
for every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.

5 75

Driving your vehicle

- When other vehicles are changing

lanes in front of you frequently,
there may be a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from occur-
ring.

- The smart cruise control system is

a supplementary system only and
is not a substitute for safe driving-
practices. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.

- Always be aware of the selected

speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.

- Always maintain sufficient braking

distance and decelerate your vehi-
cle by applying the brakes if neces-
sary.

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
the 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 driving habits
that reduce, such as sudden starts
and accelerations, compared to the
COMFORT MODE.

Conditions that limit Active
ECO MODE:

Below are a list of conditions in which
ACTIVE ECO MODE will be limited.
• When engine coolant temperature

is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is low, the ACTIVE ECO MODE
may become temporarily unavail-
able 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,
the vehicle will reflect it and auto-
matically stop the ACTIVE ECO
MODE.

• 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 increased, 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,

Driving Style Gauge

Once the SMART MODE is selected
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

indicate economic driving in green
color. The more economically you
drive, the more the left poles will
light up in green.
Likewise, the right pole of the driving
style gauge indicates sporty driving
in red color. As the vehicle acceler-
ates, the gauge will move to the right
pole.

• If the driving style gauge fills up

toward left side (or Economic side)
and is maintained there for a certain
time, the vehicle will be automatical-
ly switch to SMART ECO MODE.
Likewise, when driving style gauge
fills up toward right side and is main-
tained there for a certain time, the
vehicle will be automatically 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 in SMART ECO MODE,
the system will automatically shift
to SMART COMFORT 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

repetitive acceleration or steering
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 for
convenience.

• The SMART SPORT MODE is acti-

vated only when repetitive acceler-
ation.

• 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, the vehicle will reflect it and
automatically 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.)

5 83

Driving your vehicle

• 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 very high
or low the SMART MODE system
may become temporarily unavail-
able.

The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors

(1) Blind spot area

The BCW range varies relative to

vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.

(2) Closing at high speed

The BCW-Closing at high speed

feature will alert you when it
detects a vehicle is approaching
in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates
the turn signal when the system
detects an oncoming vehicle, the
system sounds an audible alert.

(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic

Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors

approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 6 mph (10 km/h). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound.
