You can also start the engine whenthe shift lever is in the N (Neutral)position.
4.Press the engine start/stop button while depressing the brake pedal.
5.Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and

cle, if it is position far away from
you, the engine may not start.
When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ACC or ON position
and any door is opened, the sys-
tem checks for the presents of the
smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, a message “key is not
in the vehicle” will appear on the

Never leave the smart key in the
vehicle with children or vehicle
occupants who are unfamiliar
with the vehicle operation.
Pushing the engine start/stop
button while the smart key is in
the vehicle may result in unin-
tended engine activation and/or
unintended vehicle movement.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
After the ignition switch has been
turned off, the electronic parking
brake cannot be disengaged.
Paddle shifter (Manual mode)
The paddle shifter is available when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode. When the vehicle speed is lower
than 4.3 mph (7 km/h), if you don't
press the accelerator pedal for more
than 6 seconds. (Except drive mode
(SPORT, CUSTOM)). For more infor-
mation, refer to Drive mode integrat-
ed control system in chapter 5 or if
you shift the shift lever from D (Drive)
to manual mode and shift it from
manual mode to D (Drive) again or if
you pull the [+] paddle shifter more
than 1 second, the system changes
from manual mode to automatic
mode.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are
pulled at the same time, gear shift
may not occur.
ORJ058012
WARNING
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, first make sure the park-
ing 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 dam-
age or injury.

521
Driving your vehicle
Depressing both accelerator andbrake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
When driving in Sports Mode, slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving. Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.

Driving your vehicle
When certain conditions are met, the
engine is automatically decoupled
from the transmission while the shift
lever is remained in D (Drive). In this
ECO Coasting mode, the engine
stays at idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption and increase coasting
distance. The engine is automatically
coupled back again when ECO
Coasting deactivation conditions are
met. Please refer to ECO Coasting
activation and deactivation condi-
tions.The Eco-Coasting system set-
ting
The Eco-Coasting system activates
if you select the Eco-Coasting sys-
tem from AVN : "Setting Vehicle 
Coasting" (Please refer to AVN man-
ual for more details.)
When the Eco-Coasting system is
activated, the message "Coasting"
appears at the top center of the clus-
ter.
THE ECO-COASTING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
If the accelerator pedal is pressed quickly for accelerat-ing with the Eco-Coasting sys-tem in operation, accelerationmay occur after the engage-ment of the clutch inside thetransmission. In turn, the driv-er may continue to feel accel-eration even after the systemis turned off.
Driving with the Eco-Coasting system off may be required insome cases since the enginebrake is not applied while theEco-Coasting system is inoperation.
Operation the AVN screen to activate or deactivate Eco-Coasting system while drivingmay be dangerous as the dri-ver's attention is dispersed.
