tialization is not completed, the
ASCC does not normally operate.

the trunk, suspension modification,
tire replacement with unauthorized
tires or tires with different tread
wear and pressure levels. This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and

DRIVE MODE
The driver can personalize the
DRIVE MODE based on vehicle con-
trol preference and driving style.
Below is a list of the message which
will appear on the upper LCD screen. COMFORT MODE:
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
\bAggressive), drive
mode will automatically change
among ECO \bCOMFORT \b
SPORT. Below is a diagram of mode changes
when pressing the DRIVE MODE
button.
If you turn off the engine of the
vehicle in any of the COMFORT /
ECO / SMART MODE, and restart
the engine, DRIVE MODE will
memorize and return to the previ-
ous drive mode setting. (With

ECO MODE Driving:
The vehicle engine and transmission
will operate in fuel economy oriented
mode.
ACTIVE ECO MODE system will
restrain fuel economy worsening
driving habits, such as suddenly
starts and accelerations, compare to
the COMFORT MODE.
Conditions that limit Active
ECO MODE:
Below are a list of conditions in which
when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the
indicator light will not change, but the
internal system may operate differ-
ently.
When engine coolant temperature is low:
When temperature of the transaxle
oil is below the comfort range, the
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable until the
transaxle oil heats up after vehicle
ignition.
When in an uphill gradient: Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE
partially limits the engine torque,
ACTIVE ECO MODE may become
temporarily unavailable when more
torque is essential for going uphill.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode:
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manual,
vehicle will reflect it and automati-
cally stop the ACTIVE ECO MODE.

✽ ✽ NOTICE
• SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is
economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will be automati-
cally selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel effi-
cient, but the actual fuel economy will depend on various driving factor\
s
(on uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
• If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelli- gent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This may decrease fuel effi-
ciency.

Attributes of SMART MODE.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed
gently, 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 SMART
ECO MODE, the system will auto-
matically shift to SMART COM-
FORT MODE.
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
COMFORT MODE temporarily.
Once your vehicle is out of the hilly
ground, your vehicle will automati-
cally return to the SMART ECO
MODE. 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 SPORT
MODE compared to those in
SMART COMFORT 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 comfort.
The SMART SPORT MODE is acti- vated only when very aggressive
and high speed is detected.
Therefore, in average driving
styles, the SMART system will
select either SMART ECO or
SMART COMFORT 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.
