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.

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.
Coasting Release Conditions
The Coasting function will be auto-
matically released when the follow-
ing conditions are met.
• The driving mode is COMFORT or
SPORT mode.
• SMART is selected for Engine/
Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN system screen and
driver acceleration is SMART
COMFORT or SMART SPORT
• The Smart Cruise Control button is
ON (the cruise indicator is ON)
• The vehicle's speed exceeds
35–100 mph (55–160 km/h) range
• The road gradient is under -5% or
over +5%
• If the distance between the vehicle
ahead is too close or the relative
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
• 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 do not control the
brake.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system 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
depresses 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 brake control is automat-
ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.

• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
• After the brake control is acti-
vated, the driver must immedi-
ately depress the brake pedal
and check the surroundings.
The brake activation by the
system lasts for about 2 sec-
onds.
CAUTION
• If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated, the
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system warning may not
sound.
• Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) ahead, the speed of
the vehicle ahead, and the dri-
ver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
