Driving your vehicle Drive mode integrated control system
The driving mode will be set to NORMAL
or ECO mode when the engine is
restarted.
僅 If it is in NORMAL/SPORT mode,
NORMAL mode will be set, when the
engine is restarted.
僅 If it is in ECO mode, ECO mode will be
set when the engine is restarted.
ECO mode
When the Drive Mode is set to ECO
mode, the engine and transmission con
-
trol logic are changed to maximize fuel
efficiency.
僅 When ECO mode is selected by turn
-
ing the Drive mode knob, the ECO
indicator will illuminate.
僅 If the vehicle is set to ECO mode,
when the engine is turned OFF and
restarted the Drive Mode setting will
remain in ECO mode.
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
When ECO mode is activated:
僅 The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is engaged moderately.
僅 The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
The above situations are normal condi
-
tions when ECO mode is activated to
improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode opera
-
tion:
If the following conditions occur whilst
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.
僅 When driving the vehicle with the IVT
transmission gear shift lever in sport
mode, the system will be limited
according to the shift location.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the engine and
transmission control logic for enhanced
driver performance.
僅 When SPORT mode is selected by
turning the knob, the SPORT indicator
will illuminate.
僅 Whenever the engine is restarted, the
Drive Mode will revert back to NOR
-
MAL mode. If SPORT mode is desired,
re-select SPORT mode from the knob.
僅 When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to remain
raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelera
-
tor.
- Upshifts are delayed when acceler
-
ating.
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.
