Driving your vehicle
The driving mode automatically changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be aggressive.). In this mode,
your vehicle drives in a lower gear
for abrupt accelerating/decelerat-
ing and increases the engine brake
performance.
You may still sense the engine braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in
lower gear over a certain period of
time for next acceleration. Thus, it
is a normal driving situation, not
indicating any malfunction.
The driving mode automatically changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in harsh driving situations. In
most of the normal driving situa-
tions, the driving mode sets to be
either in SMART ECO mode or in
SMART COMFORT mode.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
The driver manually moves theshift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally moves the shift lever.
The cruise control is activated : The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of the smart cruise control
system. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise control system.)
The transmission oil temperature is either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
ECO mode
When the drive mode isset to ECO mode, the
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficien-
cy.
When ECO mode is selected by rotating the DRIVE MODE selec-
tion knob, the ECO indicator will
illuminate.
If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the engine is turned off and
restarted the drive mode setting
will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.

When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to help improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator. When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission gear shift
lever in manual mode.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
COMFORT mode
COMFORT mode is a
normal drive mode that
provides smooth driving
and comfortable riding.
When COMFORT mode is select- ed by rotating the DRIVE MODE
selection knob, the COMFORT
indicator will illuminate.
SPORT
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and
the engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver perform-
ance.
When SPORT mode is selected by rotating the DRIVE MODE selec-
tion knob, the SPORT indicator will
illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode
is desired, re-select SPORT mode.
When SPORT mode is activated: - The engine rpm will tend toremain a little higher for a brief
time even after releasing the
accelerator. This is typical when
the SPORT mode is activated.
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

er (1) and the driving style gauge (2)
showing the driver's driving style are
displayed on the screen.
Driver's style gauge in SMARTmode
With the standard driving style in the
center, the left side of the gauge is
'Economical' and right side is
'Aggressive' style.
When the left side of the driver’s
style gauge is filled up and after a
certain time passes, the SMART
ECO mode is activated automatical-
ly. When the right side of the gauge is
filled up and sporty driving condition
is detected, the SMART SPORT
mode is activated.
To maintain the SMART ECO mode
for fuel efficiency, drive with the left
side of the gauge filled up.

Take the following precautions
when using the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system:
This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. The Forward Collision-
Avoidance system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.

Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system is on and ready
when FCA is selected on the LCD
display and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6mph (10km/h). (The FCA
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist in front, which
may collide with your vehicle. (The
FCA may not be activated or may
sound a warning alarm in accor-
dance with the driving situation or
vehicle condition.)
FCA Warning Message and
System Control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian, cyclist detec-
tion. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk lev-
els.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include EARLY, NORMAL, or
LATE initial warning time.Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the

Collision Warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
Emergency Braking(Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximized just before a
collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA braking control is auto- matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
