Driving your vehicle
SPORT mode :
SPORT mode provides sporty but
firm riding.
ECO mode :
ECO mode helps improve fuel effi-
ciency for eco-friendly driving.
COMFORT mode :
COMFORT mode provides smooth
driving and comfortable riding.
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/TERRAIN mode
selection knob to activate SMART
mode. When SMART mode is acti-
vated, the indicator illuminates on
the instrument cluster.
The vehicle starts in SMART
mode, when the engine was turned
OFF in SMART mode. SMART mode automatically con-
trols gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, in accordance with the dri-
ver's driving habits.
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.

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 uses the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode) :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally changes gear with the paddle
shifter.
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.
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/TERRAIN
mode selection 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.

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 selection
knob, the ECO indicator will illumi-
nate.
The vehicle starts in ECO mode,
when the engine was turned OFF
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.

Emergency Braking
(Third 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 decel-
erate 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 50 mph (80 km/h) or
under. Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the vehicle ahead and
surroundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian in
front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is 5 mph (8
km/h) or above and under 45 mph
(70 km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the vehicle 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 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 depress-
es 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 braking control is auto-
matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
