SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and
the engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver perform-
ance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator (yellow color)
will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to
SMART mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated: - The engine rpm will tend toremain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
Virtual engine sounds are gener-
ated from the exterior amplifiers.
Pay extreme caution while replac-
ing amplifier components. The
use of any after-market compo-
nents or speakers may damage
the exterior amplifiers causing the
virtual engine sounds not to prop-
erly operate.
ECO mode
When the Drive Mode is
set to ECO mode, the
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficiency.
When ECO mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the ECO indicator (green color) will
illuminate.
If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the engine is turned OFF
and restarted the Drive Mode set-
ting will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.

Driving your vehicle
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission gear shift
lever in manual mode.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
INDIVIDUAL mode
In INDIVIDUAL mode, thedriver can select separate
modes and combine them
on the DIS Navigation
System screen.
- Engine/Transmission:
ECO/SMART
- Steering wheel:COMFORT/SPORT
- Suspension:COMFORT +/
COMFORT/SPORT
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system:
ECO/COMFORT/SPORT
For more information, refer to the
separately supplied DIS Navigation
System manual.
When INDIVIDUAL mode is select- ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the INDIVIDUAL mode indi-
cator (blue color) will illuminate.

will be on but the system will not
be activated).
2. Press and hold the Vehicle-to- Vehicle Distance button for more

Vehicle Capacity Weight
The number of designated seating
positions multiplied by 150 lbs. (68
kg) plus the rated cargo and luggage
load.
Vehicle Maximum Load on theTire
Load on an individual tire due to curb
and accessory weight plus maximum
occupant and cargo weight.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire
Load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each
axle its share of the curb weight,
accessory weight, and normal occu-
pant weight and dividing by 2.
Vehicle Placard
A label permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the original equip-
ment tire size and recommended
inflation pressure.
All Season Tires
Genesis Brand specifies all season
tires on some models to provide
good performance for use all year
round, including snowy and icy road
conditions. All season tires are iden-
tified by ALL SEASON and/or M+S
(Mud and Snow) on the tire sidewall.
Snow tires have better snow traction
than all season tires and may be
more appropriate in some areas.
Summer Tires
Genesis Brand specifies summer
tires on some models to provide
superior performance on dry roads.
Summer tire performance is sub-
stantially reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire
traction rating M+S (Mud and Snow)
on the tire side wall. If you plan to
operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, Genesis Brand recom-
mends the use of snow tires or all
season tires on all four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result. Snow
tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver’s side of
the center pillar, or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
