categorized to be normal. It illumi-
nates in yellow, when the driver's
driving is categorized to be dynam-
ic during abrupt braking or sharp
curving.
The vehicle starts in SMART mode again, when the engine was turned
OFF in SMART mode. SMART mode automatically con-
trols the vehicle driving, such as
gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, and riding quality in accor-
dance with the driver's driving
habits.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehiclein SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve
fuel efficiency. However, the actual
fuel efficiency may differ in accor-
dance with your driving situations
(i.e. upward/downward slope, vehi-
cle deceleration/acceleration).
• When you dynamically drive the vehicle in SMART mode by abrupt-
ly decelerating or sharply turning

mode. However, it may adversely
affect fuel economy.
