ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds. After both
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When ESC is in operation, the
ESC indicator light blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
• When ESC activates, the engine may
not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.
• If Cruise Control or Smart Cruise
Control was in use when ESC
activates, Cruise Control or Smart
Cruise Control automatically
disengages. Cruise Control or Smart
Cruise Control can be reengaged
when the road conditions allow. See
"Cruise Control (CC)" or "Smart
Cruise Control (SCC)" section in
chapter 7 (if equipped).
• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the engine
RPM (revolutions per minute) may
not increase even if you press the
accelerator pedal deeply. This is to
maintain the stability and traction of
the vehicle and does not indicate a
problem.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation:
• State 1
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC OFF indicator light and/or message
'Traction Control disabled' will illuminate.
In this state, the traction control function
of ESC (engine management) is disabled,
but the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) still operates.
• State 2
Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 seconds.
The ESC OFF indicator light and/or
message 'Traction & Stability Control
disabled' illuminates and a warning
chime sounds. In this state, both the
traction control function of ESC (engine
management) and the brake control
function of ESC (braking management)
are disabled.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off, ESC
remains off. Upon restarting the engine,
the ESC will automatically turn on again.

DRIVE MODE INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM
ONX4OB061013ONX4OB061013
The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver’s preference or
road condition.
The system resets to be in the NORMAL
mode, when the engine is restarted.
Information
If there is a problem with the instrument
cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change to
SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below, whenever
the DRIVE MODE button is pressed or
toggled.
NORMAL
< SPORT
< SMART
< SNOW
(AWD)
NORMAL - SPORT – SMART (2WD)
NORMAL mode
In NORMAL mode the engine
andtransmission control logic
worktogether to provide regular daily
drivingperformance with some fuel
efficiency.
• When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.

06

SPORT mode
SPORT mode provides sporty
but firm riding.
In SPORT mode, the fuel
efficiency may decrease.
• When SPORT mode is selected, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the drive mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode.
• When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine RPM will tend to remain
raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when
accelerating
SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode among,
NORMAL and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (For
example, mild or dynamic) from
the brake pedal depression or
the steering wheel operation.
• Press the DRIVE MODE button to
activate SMART mode. When SMART
mode is activated, the indicator
illuminates on the instrument cluster.
• The vehicle starts in SMART mode,
when the engine was turned OFF in
SMART mode.
• SMART mode automatically controls
gear shifting patterns, engine torque,
in accordance with the driver's driving
habits.
SNOW mode
SNOW mode offers special
traction tuning for snow
optimizing available traction in
adverse conditions. Snow mode
adjusts left and right wheel slip
control, engine torque and shift
patterns according to available
traction levels.
Information
• When your vehicle drive mode
is selected to SMART mode, the
driving mode varies according to
your acceleration pedal input. When
your vehicle is in SMART mode and
your driving style is such that your
acceleration pedal input is gradual,
the drive mode will maximize fuel
efficiency. Note, however, the actual
fuel efficiency may vary according
to certain driving conditions (uphill/
downhill grade) and vehicle speed.
• When your vehicle is in SMART
mode and your driving style is more
aggressive such that your acceleration
pedal input is more abrupt, the drive
mode will change to reflect a more
SPORT driving characteristic. Note
that while you are driving this way, fuel
economy may be adversely affected.

Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode
• 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 sporty.). In this mode, your
vehicle drives in a lower gear for
abrupt accelerating/decelerating
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 situations, the
driving mode sets to be in SMART
NORMAL mode.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)
• The driver manually moves the shift
lever : It deactivates SMART mode.
The vehicle drives, as the driver
manually moves the shift lever.
• The vehicle is driven using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) : SMART
mode is deactivated determining that
the driver wants to drive the vehicle
manually
• Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control
is activated : Cruise Control or Smart
Cruise Control may deactivate the
SMART mode. When a higher system
is set by Cruise Control or Smart
Cruise Control, it starts to control
vehicle speed and deactivates
SMART mode. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activing Cruise
Control or Smart Cruise Control.)
• The transmission oil temperature is either
extremely low or extremely high : The
SMART mode can be active in most of
the normal driving situations. However,
an extremely high/ low transmission oil
temperature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
