while turning around to improve the
handling performance, driving safety,
convenience and ride comfort.
e-EHA connects FCA (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist) and the electric motor
to provide assists to avoid collision
so that prompt collision avoidance is
available while FCA warning appears.
à e-Handling stands for Electrically
Assisted Handling Performance.

à e-EHA means Electrically Evasive
Handling Assist.
Operation condition
e-Handling starts to work by identifying
enter or exit condition if the driver
operates the steering wheel over a
certain level when the vehicle speed is
between 24 mph and 74 mph.
e-EHA operates if there is urgent steering

Good Driving Practices

[ Never move the shift button from
P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.

[ Never move the shift button into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

[ Do not move the shift button to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.

Driving Your Vehicle6-48
Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode

[ The driving mode aut
omatically
changes to ECO mode after a certain
period of time, when you gently
depress the accelerator pedal (Your
driving is categorized to be mild.).

[ The driving mode automatically
returns to SMART ECO mode, when
the vehicle enters a leveled road.

[ 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 brake
performance, even when you release
the accelerator pedal in SMART
SPORT mode. It is because your
vehicle remains to be in a 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 either in
SMART ECO mode. Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
f
ollowing situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)

[ 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 and Smart Cruise
Control is activated : Cruise Control
and Smart Cruise Control may
deactivate SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of Cruise Control and Smart
Cruise Control. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by turning on Cruise
Control and 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.
