2021 GENESIS G90 ECO mode

5-47
05
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.

When certain conditions are met, the
engine is automatically decoupled
from the transmission while the shift
lever is remained in D (Drive). In this
Coasting mode, the engine stays at
idling speed to reduce fuel consump-
tion and increase coasting distance.
Coasting Setting
The Coasting function must be
turned ON from the Settings menu in
the AVN system screen. Select:
- Setup →Vehicle Settings →Drive
Mode →Coasting
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
When Coasting is turned ON and the
conditions are met, the function
operates with a "Coasting" message
illuminated at the top center of the
instrument cluster.
• If the accelerator pedal is
pressed quickly for accelerating
with the Coasting function in
operation, acceleration may
occur after the engagement of
the clutch inside the transmis-
sion. In turn, the driver may con-
tinue to feel acceleration even
after the system is turned off.
• Driving with the Coasting func-
tion off may be required in some
cases since the engine brake is
not applied while the Coasting
function is in operation.
• Operating the AVN system
screen to activate or deactivate
the Coasting function while driv-
ing may be dangerous as the dri-
ver's attention is dispersed.
Coasting Operating
Conditions
The Coasting function will operate
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed and released under the
following conditions.
• The driving mode is ECO mode.
• SMART is selected for Engine/
Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN system screen and
driver acceleration is SMART ECO
• ECO is selected for Engine/
Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN system screen
• The shift lever is in D (Drive)
• The Smart Cruise Control button is
OFF
• The accelerator or brake pedal is
not depressed
• The vehicle's speed is within
35–100 mph (55–160 km/h) range
• The road gradient is within -5~+5%
range
• In SMART mode, if the distance
between the vehicle ahead and the
relative speed is within a certain
range
Information
• If the front radar for smart cruise
control system cannot operate nor-
mally, the inter-vehicle distance and
relative speed condition are auto-
matically ignored.
• The Coasting function works after
the engine is turned on, the trans-
mission is warmed up, and the
engine sensor self-diagnosis is com-
pleted after starting.
• Depending on the driving situation,
Coasting operation may be tem-
porarily delayed even if the above
conditions are met.

speed changes momentarily in
SMART mode.
• If lane change is predicated in
SMART mode (e.g. the turn signal
is turned ON or a LKA warning
appears due to steering wheel
control, etc.)
Information
It is recommended to turn off the
Coasting function if you are driving
under frequently stop-and-go condi-
tion. Change the Drive Mode to COM-
FORT or SPORT mode or deselect
Coasting from the AVN system screen.

Driving your vehicle

Collision Warning (First warning)
• The warning message appears on
the cluster 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.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 56
mph (90 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the pedestrian
ahead and surroundings.
• If you select 'Warning only' for the
system setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system will not control the
brake.
Emergency braking
(Second warning)
• The warning message appears on
the cluster LCD display with a
warning chime. Additionally, some
vehicle system intervention occurs
by the engine management system
to help decelerate the vehicle.
• The brake control is maximized
just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the
system operates when your vehicle
speed is above 5 mph (8 km/h) and
47 mph (75 km/h) or under.
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is 5 mph
(8 km/h) or above and under 40
mph (65 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the pedestrian
ahead and surroundings.

LFA operation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes detected by the system
(lane color changes from gray to
white), and there is no abrupt steer-
ing made by the driver, the LFA sys-
tem changes to steering assist
mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator
light will flash green and change to
white.
Warning Message
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while the LFA system is activated,
the system will warn the driver.
Information
Hold the steering wheel tight.
Otherwise, the LFA system could mis-
judge that the driver's hands are off
the steering wheel, and the above
warning may occur.

Maintenance
All Season Tires
Genesis Branded Vehicle specifies
all season tires on some models to
provide good performance for use all
year round, including snowy and icy
road conditions. All season tires are
identified by ALL SEASON and/or
M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better
snow traction than all season tires
and may be more appropriate in
some areas.
Summer Tires
Genesis Branded Vehicle specifies
summer tires on some models to
provide superior performance on dry
roads. Summer tire performance is
substantially reduced in snow and
ice. Summer tires do not have the tire
traction rating M+S (Mud and Snow)
on the tire side wall. If you plan to
operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, Genesis Branded Vehicle
recommends the use of snow tires or
all season tires on all four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result. Snow
tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver’s side of
the center pillar, or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Radial-ply tires have the same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the same recommended inflation
pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended. Any combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: Identical pairs of radial-ply
tires should always be used as a set
for the front tires and a set for the
rear tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tires under any circum-
stances. This may cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
