2018 Hyundai Elantra ECO mode

5-44
Driving your vehicle
When the 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/dual clutch transmission
may change.
The engine speed may be lower than when driving in NORMAL mode.
The above situations are normal condi-
tions when the ECO mode is activated to
improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of the ECO mode opera-
tion:
Even though ECO mode is selected and
there is no change in the ECO indicator :
When the coolant temperature is low,
ECO mode will be limited until engine
temperature is at normal operating
temperature.
When driving up a hill, ECO mode will be limited to provide better power
when driving uphill.
When driving the vehicle with the auto- matic transmission/ dual clutch trans-
mission gear shift lever in manual shift
mode, ECO mode will be limited
according to the shift position.SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the
driving dynamics by automat-
ically adjusting the steering
effort, and the engine and
transmission control logic for enhanced
driver performance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to NOR-
MAL 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 to remainraised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerat- ing
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.

Maintenance
All Season Tires
HYUNDAI specifies all season tires
on some models to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
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
HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction rat-
ing M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
side wall. If you plan to operate your
vehicle in snowy or icy conditions,
HYUNDAI recommends 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.
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.Radial-ply tires have the same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the same recommended inflation
pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended. Any combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: Identical pairs of radial-ply
tires should always be used as a set
for the front tires and a set for the
rear tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
