Driving your vehicle
The ISG system is to help reduce the
fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine, when the
vehicle is at a standstill (i.e. red stop
light, stop sign, and traffic jam).
The engine is automatically started
upon satisfying the starting condi-
tions.
The ISG system is always active,
when the engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically
started by the ISG system, some warn-
ing lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS, and parking brake warning
light) may illuminate for a few sec-
onds due to the low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a mal-
function with the ISG system.

SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
among ECO, COMFORT,
and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (i.e.
Economical or Aggressive) from the
brake pedal depression or the steer-
ing wheel operation.
• Rotate the DRIVE MODE selection
knob to activate SMART mode.
When SMART mode is activated,
the indicator illuminates on the
instrument cluster.
• Vehicle's equipped with a supervi-
sion cluster the indicator illumi-
nates in green, when the driver's
driving is categorized to be eco-
nomical. It illuminates in white,
when the driver's driving is catego-
rized to be normal. It illuminates in
yellow, when the driver's driving is
categorized to be aggressive dur-
ing abrupt braking or sharp curv-
ing.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SMART mode
is desired, re-select SMART mode.• SMART mode automatically con-
trols the vehicle driving, such as
gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, riding quality (if equipped
with the electronic suspension sys-
tem), and power distribution (if
equipped with the All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system), in accordance with
the driver's driving habits.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve
fuel efficiency. However, the actual
fuel efficiency may differ in accor-
dance with your driving situations
(i.e. upward/downward slope, vehi-
cle deceleration/acceleration).
• When you dynamically drive the
vehicle in SMART mode by abrupt-
ly decelerating or sharply turning
the driving mode changes to SPORT
mode. However, it may adversely
affect fuel economy.
Various driving situations, which
you may encounter in SMART
mode
• The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you gen-
tly depress the accelerator pedal
(Your driving is categorized to be
economical.).
• The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after
a certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer-
tain angle. The driving mode auto-
matically returns to SMART ECO
mode, when the vehicle enters a
leveled road.

Driving your vehicle
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be aggressive.). In this mode,
your vehicle drives in a lower gear
for abrupt accelerating/decelerat-
ing and increases the engine brake
performance.
• You may still sense the engine
braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in
lower gear over a certain period of
time for next acceleration. Thus, it
is a normal driving situation, not
indicating any malfunction.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in harsh driving situations. In
most of the normal driving situa-
tions, the driving mode sets to be
either in SMART ECO mode or in
SMART COMFORT mode.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
• The driver manually moves the
shift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally moves the shift lever.
• The cruise control is activated :
The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of the smart cruise control
system. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise control system.)
• The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
ECO mode
When the drive mode is
set to ECO mode, the
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficien-
cy.
• When ECO mode is selected by
rotating the DRIVE MODE selec-
tion knob, the ECO indicator will
illuminate.
• If the vehicle is set to ECO mode,
when the engine is turned off and
restarted the drive mode setting
will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.

er (1) and the driving style gauge (2)
showing the driver's driving style are
displayed on the screen.
Driver's style gauge in SMART
mode
With the standard driving style in the
center, the left side of the gauge is
'Economical' and right side is
'Aggressive' style.
When the left side of the driver’s
style gauge is filled up and after a
certain time passes, the SMART
ECO mode is activated automatical-
ly. When the right side of the gauge is
filled up and sporty driving condition
is detected, the SMART SPORT
mode is activated.
To maintain the SMART ECO mode
for fuel efficiency, drive with the left
side of the gauge filled up.

FCA Warning Message and
System Control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian, cyclist detec-
tion. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk lev-
els.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include EARLY, NORMAL, or
LATE initial warning time.
Collision Warning
(First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate
moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
•Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate
/deactivate the FCA system.
•The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon pressing the

Emergency Braking
(Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximized just before a
collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
• The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The FCA braking control is auto-
matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
OIK057060L
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the FCA system.
CAUTION
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, pedestrian or cyclist ahead,
the speed of the vehicle ahead,
and the driver's vehicle speed.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system.
WARNING
The FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
