most appropriate drivemode (Economic ↔
Aggressive) by measuring
usage of steering wheel,
and accelerator pedal.

Below is a summary of the automatic drive mode control depending on the usage of the steering wheel, engine and transaxle system.
CAUTION
SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving
style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will beautomatically selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient, but the actual fuel economy will dependon various driving factors (on uphill/ downhill, heavy revving orbraking).
If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This maydecrease fuel efficiency.

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.

Speed setting
To set cruise control speed:
1. Move the lever up (to CRUISE), to
turn the system on. The CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed. The smart cruise control speed
can be set as follows:
(110mph): when there is no vehi- cle in front
when there is a vehicle in front 3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired speed.
The set speed and vehicle to vehi-cle distance on the LCD screen will
illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automati-cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain thedistance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly while going uphill or downhill.

The smart cruise control sys- tem is not a substitute for safe
driving. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always checkthe speed and distance of the
vehicle ahead.
Be careful when driving downhill using the ASCC.
Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog, etc)
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent any

The vehicle will maintain the set speed, when the lane ahead is clear.
The vehicle will slow down or speed up to maintain the selected distance, when there is a vehicle ahead of you in the lane. (A vehicle will appear in
front of your vehicle in the LCD display only when there is an actual vehi-
cle in front of you)
If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your vehicle will travel at a steady cruising speed after accelerating to the selected speed.

In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts
moving, your vehicle will start as
well. However, if the vehicle stops
for more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal,
move up the lever (to RES+) or
down (to SET-) to start driving.
If you push the advanced smart cruise control lever (RES+ or SET-)
while Auto Hold and advanced
smart cruise control is operating
(The green AUTO HOLD indicator),
Auto Hold will be released regard-
less of accelerator pedal operation
and the vehicle will start to move.
Distance to distance vehicle sen-
sor
The sensor detects the distance to
the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the sensor clean.
CAUTION
If the vehicle ahead (vehiclespeed: less than 30km/h) disap-pears to the next lane, the warn- ing chime will sound and a mes-sage will appear. Adjust yourvehicle speed for vehicles or objects that can suddenlyappear in front of you bydepressing the brake pedal according to the road conditionahead and driving condition.

CAUTION
The smart cruise control systemmay not operate temporarilydue to electrical interference.
(Continued)
When other vehicles are changing lanes in front of you
frequently, the smart cruise
control system may not oper-
ate appropriately. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
The smart cruise control sys- tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a con-
venience function only. It isthe responsibility of the driver
to always check the speedand the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
(Continued)(Continued)
As the smart cruise controlsystem may not recognize
complex driving situations,
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
For safe operation, carefully read and follow the instruc-
tions in this manual before use.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.Operating conditions
Select RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) in "User Settings" under
"Driving Assist" on the instrument
cluster. The system will turn on and
standby to activate.
Select RCTA again, to turn the sys- tem off.
If the vehicle is turned off and on again, the RCTA system will return
to the state right before the vehicle
was turned off. Always turn the
RCTA system off when not in use.
The system is operated when the vehicle speed is below 10km/h with
the shift lever in R (Reverse). The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) detecting range is0.5m~20m based on side direc-
tion. If the approaching vehiclespeed is 4 km/h~36 km/h in sens-
ing range, it is detected. However,
the system sensing range is differ-
ent base on conditions. Always payattention to surrounding.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and
maintain a steady cruising speed.
Do not race between stoplights. Try
to adjust your speed to the traffic so
you do not have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic
whenever possible. Always maintain
a safe distance from other vehicles
so you can avoid unnecessary brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tirepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in
section 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequentmaintenance is required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Do not carry unnec- essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
