Driving your vehicle
Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS)
The Electronic Control Suspension
controls the vehicle suspension
automatically to maximize driving
comfort by taking into account the
driving conditions such as speed,
surface of the road, cornering, stop-
ping requirements and acceleration.
ECS (Electronic Control
Suspension) malfunction indi-
cator
Check Electronic Suspension
If the ECS warning message comes
on, you may have a problem with the
ECS system. Have the system be
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
Dynamic Stability Damping
Control (DSDC)
The Dynamic Stability Damping
Control provides comfort riding and
driving stability by meticulously opti-
mizing the suspension power during
sharp curving or abrupt obstacle
avoidance.
Operating conditions
• The DSDC is activated, when driv-
ing speed exceeds 30 mph (50
km/h).
• The DSDC does not operate, when
the Electronic Stability Control is
deactivated.
The Dynamic Stability Damping
Control does not operate, when
there is a malfunction with the
Electronic Stability Control.
The Dynamic Stability Damping
Control operation is limited in fol-
lowing situations:
- There are wide variations in tire
pressures.
- The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
- The vehicle is driven on a rough,
rugged surface.
NOTICE
GENESIS ADAPTIVE CONTROL SUSPENSION (IF EQUIPPED)
NEVER install any tires/wheels
in different sizes or of different
models on your vehicle. It may
cause a malfunction of the
Dynamic Stability Damping
Control.

5-46
Driving your vehicle
ECO mode
When ECO mode is
selected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
ECO indicator will illumi-
nate on the instrument
cluster.
• If the vehicle is set to ECO mode,
when the engine is turned OFF
and restarted the drive mode set-
ting 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 in manual
shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
CUSTOM mode
When CUSTOM mode is
selected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
CUSTOM mode indicator
will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
• In CUSTOM mode, the driver can
select separate modes and combine
them in the AVN system screen.
- Engine/Transmission: ECO/
COMFORT/SPORT/SMART
/Comfort(rear)
- Steering wheel: COMFORT/
SPORT/Comfort(rear)
- Suspension:
COMFORT/SPORT/Comfort(rear)
- AWD system: ECO/COMFORT/

When SMART is selected for CUS-
TOM mode
SMART mode automatically controls
the vehicle driving, such as gear
shifting patterns, engine torque, rid-
ing quality (if equipped with the elec-
tronic suspension system), and
power distribution (if equipped with
the All-Wheel Drive 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
certain period of time, when you
gently depress the accelerator
pedal (Your driving is categorized
to be economic.).
- The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO
mode to SMART COMFORT
mode after a certain period of
time, when you sharply or repeti-
tively 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
certain angle. The driving mode
automatically returns to SMART
ECO mode, when the vehicle
enters a leveled road.
- 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 sporty.). In this
mode, your vehicle drives in a
lower gear for abrupt accelerat-
ing/decelerating 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 situa-
tion, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
- The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT
mode only in harsh driving situa-
tions. In most of the normal driv-
ing situations, the driving mode
sets to be either in SMART ECO
mode or in SMART COMFORT
mode.

5-48
Driving your vehicle
• Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited
in following situations. (The OFF
indicator illuminates in those situa-
tions.)
- The driver manually moves the
shift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver man-
ually 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 situ-
ations. However, an extremely
high/ low transmission oil temper-
ature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of
normal operation condition.
When Comfort(rear) is selected for
CUSTOM mode
The Comfort (rear) mode is a mode
that adjusts to minimize the discom-
fort of the rear passengers by provid-
ing a smooth and stable ride through
the adjustment of the suspension,
engine/transmission, and steering.
• To use Comfort(rear) mode, select
[Settings →Vehicle →Drive mode
→CUSTOM →POWER
TRAIN/STEERING/SUSPENSION
MODE →COMFORT] menu on
the navigation screen.
