Driving Your Vehicle6-32
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position. Take the Key with you
when exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal for a long
period of time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep away from the
exhaust system components.
Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a fire.
Good Driving Practices

[ Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.

[ Never move the shift lever 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 lever 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.

[ When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving rearwards. After selecting
D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. If the vehicle moves in
the opposite direction of the selected
gear, the engine may turn off and a
serious accident might occur due to
degraded brake performance.

[ Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result
in the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.

[ When driving in sports mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.

[ Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.

[ Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the
driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, the engine
and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver
performance.

[ When SPORT mode is selected by
using the DRIVE MODE button, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate.

[ Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode from
the DRIVE MODE button.

[ When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.
SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode among
ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT
by judging the driver’s driving
habits (for example, Economic
or Aggressive (Sportive) from
the brake pedal depression or
the steering wheel operation.

[ Toggle the DRIVE MODE button to
select SMART mode. When SMART
mode is selected, the indicator
illuminates on the instrument cluster.

[ SMART mode automatically controls
the vehicle driving, such as gear
shifting patterns and engine torque,
in accordance with the driver’s driving
habits.

[ Whenever the engine is restarted, the
drive mode remains in SMART mode.
Information

[When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to SMART ECO mode to
improve fuel efficiency. However, the
actual fuel efficiency may differ in
accordance with your driving situations
(for example, upward/downward slope,
vehicle deceleration/acceleration).

[ When you dynamically drive the
vehicle in SMART mode by abruptly
decelerating or sharply turning the
driving mode changes to SMART
SPORT mode. However, it may
adversely affect fuel economy.

Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode

[ The driving mode aut
omatically
changes to SMART 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 NORMAL mode after a certain
period of time, when you sharply or
repetitively depress the accelerator
pedal.

[ The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART NORMAL 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
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 situations,
the driving mode sets to be either
in SMART ECO mode or in SMART
NORMAL mode. Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
f
ollowing situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)

[ The cruise control is activated :
The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of 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 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.

Smart Shift On Trip Computer
(if equipped)
Select the Trip Computer mode ()
on the instrument cluster LCD display
and move to the smart shift screen.
Then, the driver can see the drive mode
selected and the drive mode which is
automatically switched by the SMART
mode.
OIG069021L
The drive mode selected by the driver (1)
and the driving style gauge (2) showing
the driver’s driving style are displayed on
the screen.
Driver’s style gauge in SMART mode
OIG069023L
OIG069139L
With the standard driving style in the
center, the left side of the gauge is
‘Econ.’ and right side is ‘Dynamic’ style.
When the left side of the driver’s style
gauge is filled up and after a certain
time passes, the SMART ECO mode is
activated automatically. When the right
side of the gauge is filled up and sporty
driving condition is detected, the SMART
SPORT mode is activated.
To maintain the SMART ECO mode for
fuel efficiency, drive with the left side of
the gauge filled up.
