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 in SMART ECO MODE,
the system will automatically shift
to SMART COMFORT 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
repetitive acceleration or steering
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 for
convenience.
The SMART SPORT MODE is acti- vated only when repetitive acceler-
ation.
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.
Conditions which Limit SMART
MODE
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, the vehicle will reflect it and
automatically 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.)

LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The Lane Keeping Assist System is
designed to detect the lane markers
on the road with a front view camera
at the front windshield, and assists
the driver’s steering to help keep the
vehicle in the lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings, steering
the vehicle, and safe driving prac-
tices.
• LKA SYSTEM helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting the
driver’s steering. However, the
system is just a convenience func-
tion and the steering wheel is not
always controlled. While driving,
the driver should pay attention to
the steering wheel.
• The operation of the LKA SYS- TEM can be cancelled or not work
properly according to road condi-
tion and surroundings. Always be
cautious when driving.

WARNING
Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the vehicle is
being directed by the LKA sys-
tem. This can result in a sudden
loss of control and crash of the
vehicle.
WARNING - The Lane
Keeping
Assist System is a supplemen-
tal system and is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices. It

assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be cancelled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to change lanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA SYSTEM can transit to steer- ing assist mode when the car is
near to middle of the lane after sys-
tem on or the lane was changed.
LKA SYSTEM can not assist steer-
ing if the vehicle follows lane mark-
er too close continuously before
transition to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when your drive fast on a sharp
curve.
The steering will not be assisted when vehicle speed is below 40
mph (64 km/h) and over 110 mph
(177 kph). Always obey all traffic
laws and drive safely.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
chapter 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION

Driving your vehicle
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration. If
you follow these suggestions, tire
wear will be held to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
CAUTION- Vehicle rocking
Prolonged rocking may causeengine overheating, transaxledamage or failure, and tire dam-age.
CAUTION- Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, espe-cially at speeds more than 35mph (56 km/h). Spinning thewheels at high speeds when thevehicle is stationary couldcause a tire to overheat whichcould result in tire damage thatmay injure bystanders.

Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.
Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. (On vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature.) Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
A heavy rainfall will make it harderto see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
If your tires are not in good condi- tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.
