The Smart Recuperation System controls
the regenerative braking automatically
according to the road gradient and
driving condition of the vehicle in front.
The system minimizes the unnecessary
operation of the brake and acceleration
pedal, improving the electric energy
efficiency and assisting the driver.
System setting
OOSEV040545L
The Smart Recuperation System enters
the ready status when:
The gear is in P (Park) and select 'User
settings → ECO vehicle → Smart
recuperation' on the User Settings mode.
The setting is maintained when the
vehicle is restarted.
To activate Smart Recuperation
System
With 'AUTO' for the regenerative braking
level displayed on the cluster, the
regenerative braking level is controlled
automatically when vehicle speed is
above 10 km/h (6 mph) and one of the
condition below is met.
- The road gradient changes
- Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces or increases
- Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or increases
WARNING
When vehicle speed is under 10 km/h (6
mph), the Smart Recuperation System
is cancelled. The driver must adjust
the vehicle speed by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal according to
the road condition ahead and driving
condition.

Smart Recuperation System will
be temporarily cancelled when:
• Cancelled manually
Pulling and holding the right side
paddle shifter for more than 1 second.
The Smart Recuperation System turns
off temporarily and AUTO for the
regenerative braking level disappears
from the cluster.
• Cancelled automatically
- The vehicle is shifted to N (Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
- Cruise Control system (including Smart Cruise Control system) is in
activation.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or ABS is operating.
WARNING
When the Smart Recuperation System
is cancelled automatically, adjust the
vehicle speed directly by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal according to
the road condition ahead and driving
condition.
To resume Smart Recuperation
System
To re-activate the Smart Recuperation
System while driving, pull and hold the
right side paddle shifter for more than
1 second again. Then, AUTO for the
regenerative braking level will appear on
the cluster.
To turn Smart Recuperation
System off
To turn off the system, shift to P (Park)
and deselect 'User settings → ECO
vehicle → Smart recuperation' on the
User Settings mode.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance
recognition sensor (Front radar)
In order for the Smart Recuperation
System to operate properly, always make
sure the radar sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens may
adversely affect the sensing performance
of the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and not
operate normally.

2. When you stop the vehicle completely by depressing the brake
pedal, the Auto Hold maintains the
brake pressure to hold the vehicle
stationary. The indicator changes from
white to green.
3. The vehicle will remain stationary even if you release the brake pedal.
4. If EPB is applied, Auto Hold will be
released.
To release: • If you depress the accelerator pedal
with the shift lever in D (Drive) or
Manual shift mode, the Auto Hold will
be released automatically and the
vehicle will start to move. The AUTO
HOLD indicator changes from green
to white.
• If the vehicle is restarted using the
cruise control toggle switch (RES+
or SET-) while Auto Hold and cruise
control is operating, the Auto Hold will
be released regardless of accelerator
pedal operation. The AUTO HOLD
indicator changes from green to
white. (if equipped with cruise control
system).
WARNING
When the AUTO HOLD is automatically
released by depressing the accelerator
pedal, always take a look around your
vehicle.
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal
for a smooth start.
To cancel:
OOSEV050020L
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Press the [AUTO HOLD] switch.
The AUTO HOLD indicator will turn off.
WARNING
To prevent, unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement, ALWAYS press your
foot on the brake pedal to cancel the
Auto Hold before you: - Drive downhill.
- Drive the vehicle in R (Reverse).
- Park the vehicle.

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the START/STOP button is in the ON position, ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds and goes
off, then ESC is turned on.
When operating
When ESC is in operation, the
ESC indicator light blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
• When ESC activates, the vehicle may
not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.
• If Cruise Control was in use when ESC
activates, Cruise Control automatically
disengages. Cruise Control can be
reengaged when the road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control System”
later in this chapter 7. (if equipped)
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation:
• State 1
OIK057082L
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC OFF indicator light and message
“Traction Control disabled” will
illuminate. In this state, the traction
control function of ESC is disabled,
but the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) still operates.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember: • Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlamps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the
headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your eyes
to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement: • Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
• Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Be sure your tires have enough tread.
If your tires do not have enough tread,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. See “Tire replacement”
in chapter 9.
• Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to “Tire replacement” in chapter 9.
