ECO mode
btn_WIK-209
ECO mode helps improve fuel efficiency
for eco-friendly driving.
Fuel efficiency varies according to the
driver's driving habit and road condition.
• When ECO mode is selected, the ECO
indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
• 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.
- Engine noise may be louder at some
automatic transmission shifts as
down-shift requires pressing down
more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is activated
to help improve fuel efficiency.
Limitations of ECO mode
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.
• When coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.
• 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 according to
the shift location.
COMFORT mode
COMFORT mode provides smooth driving
and comfortable riding.
SPORT mode

riding.
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.
• When SPORT mode is selected, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
• Whenever the engine is restarted, the
drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode.
