Driving Your Vehicle6-56
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.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:

[ Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.

[ Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

[ When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.

[ Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an intelligent
variable transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 7.

WARNING

[The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by the
standard road width, therefore, on
a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision
Warning may detect other vehicles
two lanes over and warn you. In
contrast, on a wide road, Blind-Spot
Collision Warning may not be able to
detect a vehicle driving in the next
lane and may not warn you.

[ When the hazard warning light is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance with
the vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's
seat is on the right side, the collision
warning may occur when you turn right.
Maintain a proper distance with the
vehicles in the right lane.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Blind-Spot Collision Warning:

[For your safety, only change the
Settings after parking the vehicle at a
safe location.

[ If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Blind-Spot
Collision Warning’s warning message
may not be displayed and audible
warning may not be generated.

[ You may not hear the warning sound
of Blind-Spot Collision Warning if the
surrounding is noisy.

[ Blind-Spot Collision Warning may
warn the driver late or may not warn
the driver depending on the road and
driving conditions.

[ Driver should maintain control of the
vehicle at all times. Do not depend
on Blind-Spot Collision Warning.
Maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce driving speed or to stop
the vehicle.

Collision-avoidance assist (while driving)

[ T
o warn the driver of a collision, the
warning light on the side view mirror
will blink and a warning message will
appear on the cluster. At the same
time, an audible warning will sound
and warning light on the head-up
display (if equipped) will blink.

[ The function will operate when your
vehicle speed is between 40-120
mph (60-200 km/h) and both lane
markings of the driving lane are
detected.

[ Emergency braking will be assisted to
help prevent collision with the vehicle
in the blind spot area.
WARNING

[Collision-avoidance assist will
be canceled under the following
circumstances:
- Your vehicle enters the next lane
by a certain distance
- Your vehicle is away from the
collision risk
- The steering wheel is sharply
steered
- The brake pedal is depressed
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
is operating

[ After Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation or lane change,
you must drive to the center of the
lane. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist will not operate if the vehicle is
not driven in the center of the lane.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist:

[ For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.

[ If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Blind-Spot
