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 select the Eco-Coasting system
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.
Eco-Coasting operation condi-
tions
The Eco-Coasting system is activat-
ed when the accelerator pedal is
depressed and released under the
following conditions.
When the driving mode is ECO mode.
When driver acceleration is SMART ECO in SMART mode.
When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position.
When Cruise Control/Smart Cruise Control button is OFF.
The accelerator or brake pedal is not depressed.
When the vehicle speed is within the range of 55 km/h (34 mph) to
160 km/h (100 mph).
If the road gradient is within the range of -5% to +5%.
In SMART mode, if the distance between the vehicle ahead and the
relative speed is within a certain
range (if the Smart Cruise system
is equipped)
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.

❈ If the front radar for smart cruise
system cannot operate normally,
the inter-vehicle distance and rela-
tive speed condition are automati-
cally ignored.
❈ The Eco-Coasting system works
after the engine is turned on, the
transmission is warmed up, and
the engine sensor selfdiagnosis is
completed after starting.
❈ Depending on the driving situa-
tion, Eco-Coasting operation may
be temporarily delayed even if the
above conditions are met.The Eco-Coasting system
release conditions
The Eco-Coasting system will be
automatically released when the fol-
lowing conditions are met.
When the drive mode is COM-
FORT or SPORT mode.
In SMART mode, when driver acceleration is SMART COMFORT
or SMART SPORT.
When using the paddle shift of the steering wheel.
When the Cruise Control/Smart Cruise Control button is on (The /CRUISE indicator is on.).
When pressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal.
When the vehicle speed is outside the rage of 55 km/h (34 mph) to
160 km/h (100 mph).
Road inclination is less than -5% or exceeds +5%.
In SMART mode, if the headway distance to the vehicle ahead is too
close of the relative speed
changes momentarily (if the smart
cruise control system is equipped) If lane change is predicated in
SMART mode (LKA warning by
turn signal lamp operation or steer-
ing wheel).
❈ It is recommended to turn off the
Eco-Coasting system in the driv-
ing condition where frequent
acceleration or deceleration is
repeated.
Change the drive mode to COM-
FORT or SPORT mode, or disable
Eco-Coasting mode on the AVN
screen.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph ). If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep the
cruise control system off when the
cruise control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open highways
in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep the vehi-
cle at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or vary-
ing traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy
or snow- covered) or winding roads
or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
Pay particular attention to the driv- ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.
