Drive mode for smooth and high ride
quality.
ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE:
Drive mode optimized for economic
driving.
SPORT MODE:
Drive mode for aggressive driving
and solid ride quality.
SMART MODE:
Depending on the driver's driving style (Economic

DRIVE MODE Indicator Screen The DRIVE MODE indicator screen
can be displayed by using the trip com-
puter button on the steering wheel. DRIVE MODE indicator screen dis-
plays status of current drive mode.
DRIVE MODE button is located onthe lower part of the transmission
lever for selecting drive mode.
If drive mode is selected manually
by the user, the drive mode indica-
tor screen will show user-selected
drive mode. (NORMAL, ECO, or
SPORT)
If SMART MODE is selected by
DRIVE MODE button, the drive
mode indicator screen will show
current drive mode automatically
selected by SMART MODE sys-
tem. (SMART NORMAL, SMART
ECO, or SMART SPORT) When the trip computer mode is
selected to show DRIVE MODE
and the SMART MODE is in oper-ation, an automatically selected
driving mode SMART ECO,
SMART NORMAL, or SMART
SPORT, will be selected on the
cluster's center.
And right below is the horizontal
driving style gauge which reflects
the driving style in real time.
If you drive carefully and slowly in SMART MODE, the left side of the
driving style gauge will illuminate,and be automatically shifted to the
SMART ECO MODE.
When the driver accelerates more
frequently, the right side of the driv-
ing style gauge will fill up, and shift
to SMART NORMAL MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is high, drive mode
will change to SMART SPORTMODE. If the auto cruise control function is
operated or the transmission is
shifted to manual mode while
SMART MODE is on, the SMART
MODE will stop temporarily, and
the DRIVE MODE will be displayed
as OFF. The driving style gauge
light will be turned off accordingly.
If the trip computer is not set to show DRIVE MODE indicator
screen, and you want to know the
on/off status of the SMART MODE,
simply check whether the letters
'SMART' is lighten up on the
screen or not (green - ECO MODE,white - NORMAL MODE, red -
SPORT MODE).

Attributes of SMART MODE.
If the accelerator pedal is pressedgently, your vehicle will recognize it
as a economic driving style. After
some time, the system will automat-
ically shift to SMART ECO MODE.
If you press the accelerator pedal frequently and heavily in SMARTECO MODE, the system will auto-
matically shift to SMART NORMALMODE.
Even when driving style has not changed from SMART ECO
MODE, if your vehicle is driven
uphill considerably, the system will
detect the gradient. Then, the
SMART system will automatically
change the setting to the SMART
NORMAL MODE temporarily.
Once your vehicle is out of the hilly
ground, your vehicle will automati-
cally return to the SMART ECOMODE. The SMART system will recognize
sudden and repetitive acceleration or
steering as aggressive driving and
automatically turn to the SMART
SPORT MODE. Your vehicle will run
at a lower gear in SMART SPORTMODE compared to those in
SMART NORMAL MODE.
The vehicle's start and stop
response rate will become faster.
When the SMART SPORT MODE is activated, and you take your feet
off the accelerator pedal, the vehi-
cle will remain in low gear and you
may sense engine brake. This is
due to necessary preparatory time
for the next acceleration and is
only normal.
The SMART SPORT MODE is acti- vated only when very aggressiveand high speed is detected.
Therefore, in average driving
styles, the SMART system will
select either SMART ECO or
SMART NORMAL MODE. The artificial intelligence algorithm
will instantly calculate each driver's
style of driving. So if the driver is
changed to a different person, the
algorithm will measure accordingly.
