ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE
enhances fuel efficiency
through eco control of
the engine and trans-
mission. The actual fuel
efficiency will depend on
personal driving style
and habits.
MODE button and
selecting ECO MODE,
green ECO indicator
light will illuminate.
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.

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 on
the 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. (COMFORT, 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 COMFORT, 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 COMFORT, 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 COMFORT MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is high, drive mode
will change to SMART SPORT
MODE. 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 - COMFORT MODE, red -
SPORT MODE).

Driving your vehicle
Conditions which Limit SMARTMODE
In following conditions your vehicle will
temporarily stop the SMART Mode
and the indicator light will turn off.
When using the manual transmis- sion operation mode: If the
transaxle system is changed from
automatic to manual, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE.
If transmission operation is
changed from automatic to manu-
al, vehicle will reflect it and auto-
matically stop the SMART MODE.
When the Cruise Control system is turned on:
When the driver sets a target
cruise control speed, your vehicle
will automatically stop the SMART
MODE. (The SMART MODE will
stop not immediately after you
press the cruise control button, but
when the cruise control system
takes control of the vehicle speed.) If the temperature of the transaxle
oil is very high or low:
The SMART MODE control system
will operate in nearly all driving
conditions. But when the tempera-
ture of the transaxle oil is out of the
comfort range, the SMART MODE
system may become temporarily
unavailable.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3: If the API SM engine oil is not available, you can use API SN or above.
*4: If the ILSAC GF-4 engine oil is not available, you can use ILSAC GF-5 or above.
