- Parking in N (Neutral) gear
Follow below steps when parking
and you want the vehicle to move
when pushed.
1.After stopping your vehicle,depress the brake pedal and move
the transaxle shift lever to [P] with
the ignition button in [ON] or while
the engine is running.
2.If the parking brake is applied, release the parking brake.
- For EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) equipped vehicles,
depress the brake pedal with the
ignition button in [ON] or while the
engine is running to disengage
the parking brake. If [AUTO
HOLD] function is used while driv-
ing (If [AUTO HOLD] indicator is
on in the cluster), press [AUTO
HOLD] switch and [AUTO HOLD]
function should be turn off.
3.While depressing the brake pedal, turn the ignition button [OFF].
- For smart key equipped vehi- cles, the ignition switch can be
moved to [OFF] only when the
shift lever is in [P]. 4.Change the gear shift lever to [N]
(Neutral) while depressing the
brake pedal and inserting, press-
ing down a tool (e.g. flathead
screw-driver) into the [SHIFT
LOCK RELEASE] access hole at
the same time. Then, the vehicle
will move when external force is
applied. D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear.
Parking In Neutral
With the exception of parking
in neutral gear, always park
the vehicle in [P] (Park) for
safety and apply the parking
brake.
Before parking in [N] (Neutral) gear, make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in [N] gear on any slopes
or gradients. If parked and left
in [N], the vehicle may move
and cause serious damage or
injury.

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift through a 8-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear.
To shift into [D], depress the brake
pedal and press the [UNLOCK] but-
ton of shift lever. And then move the
shift lever to backward.
To shift into [D], from [N] you must
depress the brake pedal.
✽NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Manual mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate. In manual mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward
once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.

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 ↔ 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.
