The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver’s preference
or road condition.
The system resets to be in the ECO
mode, when the hybrid system is
restarted.
Information
If there is a problem with the instru-
ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
ECO mode and may not change to
NORMAL mode or SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE button
is pressed.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
ECO mode (Active ECO)
The ECO mode is a guid- ance for fuel efficient driv-
ing.
When the ECO mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the ECO indicator (green color) will
illuminate.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
Information
The ECO mode will provide best effi-
ciency for customer driving habits
that are not aggressive in accelerating
and in conditions not involving many
rolling hills to drive through. Under
situation of aggressive driving style or
driving conditions involving rolling
hills causing frequent gear shifts you
should try NORMAL mode instead as
it may actually yield your best econo-
my and drivability. Compare between
the 2 modes.

When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration response may be slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active ECO sys-
tem is activated to improve fuel effi-
ciency.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting
the steering wheel and
hybrid system.
When the SPORT mode is select- ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the SPORT indicator (yel-
low color) will illuminate.
Restarting of the hybrid system in the SPORT mode resets the
DRIVE mode to the ECO mode.
Thus, when necessary, reselect
the SPORT mode.

In the SPORT mode, the fuel efficien-
cy may decrease.
