Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS)
The Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) controls the vehicle suspen-
sion automatically to maximize driv-
ing comfort by taking into account
the driving conditions such as speed,
surface of the road, cornering, stop-
ping requirements and acceleration.
ECS (Electronic ControlSuspension) malfunction indi-cator
If the ECS warning message comes
on, you may have a problem with the
ECS system. Have the system be
checked by an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products
Dynamic Stability Damping
Control (DSDC)
The Dynamic Stability Damping
Control (DSDC) provides comfort rid-
ing and driving stability by meticu-
lously optimizing the suspension
power during sharp curving or abrupt
obstacle avoidance.
Operating conditions
The DSDC is activated, when driv-
ing speed exceeds 30 mph (50
km/h).
The DSDC does not operate, when the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is deactivated.
The Dynamic Stability Damping
Control (DSDC) does not operate,
when there is a malfunction with
the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC).
The Genesis adaptive control sus-
pension operation is limited in fol-
lowing situations:
- There are wide variations in tire pressures.
- The vehicle is driven on a steep slope.
- The vehicle is driven on a rough, rugged surface.

SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
among ECO, NORMAL,
and SPORT by judging
the driver’s driving habits
(i.e. mild or dynamic)
from the brake pedal
depression or the steer-
ing wheel operation.
Press the DRIVE MODE button to activate SMART mode. When
SMART mode is activated, the indi-
cator illuminates on the instrument
cluster.
The indicator illuminates in green, when the driver's driving is catego-
rized to be mild. It illuminates in
white, when the driver's driving is
categorized to be normal. It illumi-
nates in yellow, when the driver's
driving is categorized to be dynam-
ic during abrupt braking or sharp
curving.
The vehicle starts in SMART mode again, when the engine was turned
OFF in 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 vehiclein 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 automaticallychanges to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you gen-
tly depress the accelerator pedal
(Your driving is categorized to be
mild.).
The driving mode automatically changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART NORMAL mode after a
certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
The driving mode automatically changes to SMART NORMAL
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.

5-48
Driving your vehicle
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission gear shift
lever in manual mode.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
INDIVIDUAL mode
In INDIVIDUAL mode, thedriver can select separate
modes and combine them
on the DIS Navigation
System screen.
- Engine/Transmission:
ECO/SMART
- Steering wheel:COMFORT/SPORT
- Suspension:COMFORT +/
COMFORT/SPORT
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system:
ECO/COMFORT/SPORT
For more information, refer to the
separately supplied DIS Navigation
System manual.
When INDIVIDUAL mode is select- ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the INDIVIDUAL mode indi-
cator (blue color) will illuminate.
