Driving your vehicle
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. During that time, the ABS
will go through self-diagnosis and the
light will go off if everything is nor-
mal. If the light stays on, you may
have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon
as possible.
•Tire chains are installed on
your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
among ECO, COMFORT,
and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (i.e.
Economical or Aggressive) from the
brake pedal depression or the steer-
ing wheel operation.
• Rotate the DRIVE MODE selection
knob to activate SMART mode.
When SMART mode is activated,
the indicator illuminates on the
instrument cluster.
• Vehicle's equipped with a supervi-
sion cluster the indicator illumi-
nates in green, when the driver's
driving is categorized to be eco-
nomical. It illuminates in white,
when the driver's driving is catego-
rized to be normal. It illuminates in
yellow, when the driver's driving is
categorized to be aggressive dur-
ing abrupt braking or sharp curv-
ing.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SMART mode
is desired, re-select SMART mode.• SMART mode automatically con-
trols the vehicle driving, such as
gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, riding quality (if equipped
with the electronic suspension sys-
tem), and power distribution (if
equipped with the All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system), in accordance with
the driver's driving habits.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehicle
in 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
the driving mode changes to SPORT
mode. However, it may adversely
affect fuel economy.
Various driving situations, which
you may encounter in SMART
mode
• The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you gen-
tly depress the accelerator pedal
(Your driving is categorized to be
economical.).
• The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after
a certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer-
tain angle. The driving mode auto-
matically returns to SMART ECO
mode, when the vehicle enters a
leveled road.

5-70
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 the
shift 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 is
set 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 be
slightly 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 to
remain 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.
