ECO MODE Driving:
The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy driving habits
that reduce, such as sudden starts
and accelerations, compared to the
COMFORT MODE.
Conditions that limit Active
ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
ACTIVE ECO MODE will be limited.
When engine coolant temperature is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is low, the ACTIVE ECO MODE
may become temporarily unavail-
able 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,
the vehicle will reflect it and auto-
matically stop the ACTIVE ECO
MODE.

✽ ✽ NOTICE
• SMART MODE is an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style
is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will be automat-
ically selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel
efficient, but the actual fuel economy will depend on various driving fa\
c-
tors (on uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
• If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelli- gent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This may decrease fuel effi-
ciency.

DRIVE MODE Indicator Screen
The DRIVE MODE indicator screen
can be displayed by using the trip com-
puter button on the steering wheel.
DRIVE MODE indicator screen dis-
plays status of current drive mode.
DRIVE MODE button is located on
the lower part of the transmission
lever for selecting drive mode.
If drive mode is selected manually
by the user, the drive mode indica-
tor screen will show user-selected
drive mode. (COMFORT, ECO, or
SPORT)
If SMART MODE is selected by
DRIVE MODE button, the drive
mode indicator screen will show
current drive mode automatically
selected by SMART MODE sys-
tem. (SMART COMFORT, SMART
ECO, or SMART SPORT) When the trip computer mode is
selected to show DRIVE MODE
and the SMART MODE is in oper-
ation, an automatically selected
driving mode SMART ECO,
SMART COMFORT, or SMART
SPORT, will be selected on the
cluster's center.
And right below is the horizontal
driving style gauge which reflects
the driving style in real time.
If you drive carefully and slowly in SMART MODE, the left side of the
driving style gauge will illuminate,
and be automatically shifted to the
SMART ECO MODE.
When the driver accelerates more
frequently, the right side of the driv-
ing style gauge will fill up, and shift
to SMART COMFORT MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is increased, drive
mode will change to SMART
SPORT MODE. If the auto cruise control function is
operated or the transmission is
shifted to manual mode while
SMART MODE is on, the SMART
MODE will stop temporarily, and
the DRIVE MODE will be displayed
as OFF. The driving style gauge
light will be turned off accordingly.
If the trip computer is not set to show DRIVE MODE indicator
screen, and you want to know the
on/off status of the SMART MODE,
simply check whether the letters
'SMART' appear on the screen or
not (green - ECO MODE, white -
COMFORT MODE, red - SPORT
MODE).

Driving Style Gauge
Once the SMART MODE is selected
by pressing the DRIVE MODE but-
ton, and the DRIVE MODE indicator
screen is selected by pressing the
trip computer button on the steering
wheel, the driving style gauge bar
will show up at the bottom of screen
and visualize current style of driving. Left poles of the driving style gauge
indicate economic driving in green
color. The more economically you
drive, the more the left poles will
light up in green.
Likewise, the right pole of the driving
style gauge indicates sporty driving
in red color. As the vehicle acceler-
ates, the gauge will move to the right
pole. If the driving style gauge fills up
toward left side (or Economic side)
and is maintained there for a certain
time, the vehicle will be automatical-
ly switch to SMART ECO MODE.
Likewise, when driving style gauge
fills up toward right side and is main-
tained there for a certain time, the
vehicle will be automatically switch
to SMART SPORT MODE.
If you wish to maintain the SMART ECO MODE for better fuel econo-
my, try to maintain economic driv-
ing style and keep the driving style
gauge green.

Attributes of SMART MODE.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed
gently, 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 in SMART ECO MODE,
the system will automatically shift
to SMART COMFORT 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
COMFORT 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
repetitive acceleration or steering
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 COMFORT 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 for
convenience.
The SMART SPORT MODE is acti- vated only when repetitive acceler-
ation.
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.
Conditions which Limit SMART
MODE
In following conditions your vehicle will
temporarily stop the SMART Mode
and the indicator light will turn off.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode: If the
transaxle system is changed from
automatic to manual, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE.
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manu-
al, the vehicle will reflect it and
automatically stop the SMART
MODE.
When the Cruise Control system is turned on:
When the driver sets a target
cruise control speed, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE. (The SMART MODE will
stop not immediately after you
press the cruise control button, but
when the cruise control system
takes control of the vehicle speed.)

583
Driving your vehicle
If the temperature of the transaxleoil is very high or low:
The SMART MODE control system
will operate in nearly all driving
conditions. But when the tempera-
ture of the transaxle oil is very high
or low the SMART MODE system
may become temporarily unavail-
able.

The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors (1) Blind spot area
The BCW range varies relative tovehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) Closing at high speed The BCW-Closing at high speedfeature will alert you when it
detects a vehicle is approaching
in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates
the turn signal when the system
detects an oncoming vehicle, the
system sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 6 mph (10 km/h). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound.

WARNING
- BCW Limitations
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning System (BCW) is a
supplemental system. Do not
solely rely on the system and
always pay attention to drive
safely.
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning System may not
detect every object alongside
the vehicle and is not a sub-
stitute for proper and safe
lane changing procedures.
Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes.
