ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE
ACTIVE ECO systemenhances 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 sudden starts
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 temperatureis 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.

SPORT MODE
When the DRIVE MODEbutton is pressed and
the SPORT MODE is
selected, the SPORT
indicator (red) will illumi-
nate on the dashboard.
When the SPORT MODE is activated, and the
Engine Start/Stop button
is turned off and on again,
drive mode will reset to
NORMAL MODE.
To turn on SPORT MODE, press DRIVE
MODE button again.
If the system is activated: - After increasing speedand turning your foot
off the accelerator
pedal, it maintains the
current gear and RPM
for some time even
though the accelerator
pedal is not
depressed.
- Up-shift during accel- eration is delayed.
✽ NOTICE
In SPORT DRIVE MODE, the fuel
efficiency may decrease.
SNOW MODE (if equipped)
SNOW MODE helps the
driver drive more effec-
tively on slippery road
surfaces in snowy or
muddy conditions.
If the SNOW MODE but- ton is pressed, the
SNOW MODE will oper-
ate regardless of
whichever drive mode
(NORMAL/ ECO /
SPORT / SMART) the
vehicle is in.
If the SNOW MODE but- ton is pressed once
more, the DRIVE MODE
(NORMAL / ECO /
SPORT / SMART) will
return to the previously
selected mode.

SMART MODE
SMART MODE is an intelligentdriving mode which automatically
selects the most appropriate drive
mode (Economic Ö Aggressive) by
measuring usage of steering
wheel, and accelerator pedal.
When DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SMART MODE is
selected, SMART indicator will illu-
minate on the dashboard.
The color of the SMART MODE indicator light will depend on the
driving style. If the driving style is
economic, average, and speedy,
the indicator light will be green,
white, and red in respective order.
When the SMART MODE is acti- vated, and the Engine Start/Stop
button is turned off and on again,
your car will still maintain the
SMART MODE.

Below is a summary of the automatic drive mode control depending on the usage of the steering wheel, engine and transaxle system.
SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will be automatically
selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient,
but the actual fuel economy will depend on various driving factors (on
uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This may decrease fuel efficien-
cy.
KH CAN (ENG) 5:2015 3/25/2015 10:52 AM Page 57

Attributes of SMART MODE.
If the accelerator pedal is pressedgently, 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 turn to the SMART
SPORT MODE. Your vehicle will run
at a lower gear in SMART SPORT
MODE compared to those in
SMART NORMAL 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 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.

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 30 km/h
(20 mph).
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
in normal condition.
