while turning around to improve the
handling performance, driving safety,
convenience and ride comfort.
e-EHA connects FCA (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist) and the electric motor
to provide assists to avoid collision
so that prompt collision avoidance is
available while FCA warning appears.
Ãe-Handling stands for Electrically
Assisted Handling Performance.
Ãe-EHA means Electrically Evasive
Handling Assist.
Operation condition
e-Handling starts to work by identifying
enter or exit condition if the driver
operates the steering wheel over a
certain level when the vehicle speed is
between 40km/h and 120km/h.
e-EHA operates if there is urgent steering
wheel operation while FCA (Forward
Collision Avoidance Assist) warning
appears

ONX4060005
The paddle shifter is available when the
shift button is in the D (Drive) position.With the shift button in the D position
The paddle shift will operate in all speed
areas.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic mode to
manual mode.
In the manual shift mode, pull the [+]
or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or
down one gear.
To change back to automatic shift mode
from manual shift mode, do one of the
followings :
- Pull the [+] paddle shifter f

or more
than one second
- Press the D butt
on.
The manual shift mode also changes
back to automatic shift mode in one of
following situations
- When the accelera
tor pedal is gently
depressed for more than 6 seconds
while driving
- When the vehicle speed is less than 1mph
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled
at the same time, gear shift may not occur.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift button from
P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift button into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift button to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.

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 mild.).
• 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 patterns, 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 accelerating/decelerating
and increases the engine brake
performance.
• You may still sense the engine brake
performance, even when you release
the accelerator pedal in SMART
SPORT mode. It is because your
vehicle remains to be in a 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 situations,
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 indicator
illuminates in those situations.)
•
The vehicle is driven using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) : SMART
mode is deactivated determining that
the driver wants to drive the vehicle
manually.
• Cruise Control is activated : Cruise
Control may deactivate SMART mode
when the vehicle is controlled by the
set speed of Cruise Control. (SMART
mode is not deactivated just by
turning on Cruise Control)
• The transmission oil temperature is either
extremely low or extremely high : The
SMART mode can be active in most of
the normal driving situations. However,
an extremely high/ low transmission oil
temperature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
