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.
SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will be automatically
selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient,
but the actual fuel economy will depend on various driving factors (on
uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This may decrease fuel efficien-
cy.
