driver, the hybrid system may not
start.
• When the Engine Start/Stop but- ton is in the ACC or ON position,
and any door is open, the system
checks for the smart key. When
the smart key is not in the vehicle,
the " " indicator will blink and
the warning "Key not in vehicle"
will come on. When all doors are
closed, the chime will also sound
for about 5 seconds. Keep the
smart key in the vehicle when in
the ACC position or if the hybrid
system is ON.
1. Always carry the smart key with

2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park).
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop but- ton. If the hybrid system starts, the
" " indicator will come on.✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not wait for the engine to warm
up while the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.

To adjust the sensitivity of
smart cruise control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed when
following the front vehicle to maintain
the set distance can be adjusted. Go
to the User Settings Mode (Driver
Assistance) and select (SCC
Reaction). You may select one of the
three stages you prefer.
Slow:Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is slower than nor-
mal speed.
Normal: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is faster than normal
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The last selected mode remains in
the system.
To convert to cruise control
mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows: 1. Turn the smart cruise control sys-
tem on (the cruise indicator light
will be on but the system will not
be activated).
2. Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.

ment cluster, the drive mode will be
in ECO mode and may not change to
NORMAL mode or SPORT mode.
The mode changes whenever the
DRIVE MODE button is pressed.
❈ When normal mode is selected, it
is not displayed on the cluster.ECO mode (Active ECO)
ECO is designed to help
improve fuel efficiency by
controlling certain engine
and transmission system
operating parameters.
Fuel efficiency depends
on the driver's driving
habit and road condition.
When the DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the ECO mode is
selected, the ECO indicator
(green) will illuminate to show that

The acceleration may slightly bereduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.
The air conditioner performance may be limited
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Eco System is
activated to help improve fuel effi-
ciency in certain situations.
Limitation of ECO operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO is operating, the system opera-
tion is limited even though there is no
change in the ECO indicator.
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
the engine torque is restricted.
When using manual mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.

Driving your vehicle
The system will be cancelled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near to mid-
dle of the lane after system on or
the lane was changed. LKA cannot
assist steering if the vehicle follows
a lane marker too closely.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when you drive fast on a sharp
curve. The steering will not be assisted
when vehicle speed is below 37
mph (60 km/h) and over 110 mph
(177 km/h). Always obey all traffic
laws and drive safely.
The steering will not be assisted when you change lanes quickly.
The steering will not be assisted when you brake suddenly.
The steering will not be assisted when the lane is very wide or nar-
row.
The steering will not be assisted when only one side lane marker is
detected.
There are more than two lane markers such as a construction
area.
Radius of a curve is too small.
When you turn steering wheel sud- denly, the LKA will be disabled
temporarily.
Driving on a steep slope or hill.DRIVER’S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
following situations because the sys-
tem may be limited when recogni-
tion of the lane marker is poor or
limited :
  When lane and road condition is
poor
• It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust or
sand.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from
road.
• There is something that resembles a lane marker.
• The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
• The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane). (Continued)
