Driving your vehicle Drive mode integrated control system
䳜 When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve
fuel efficiency. However, the
actual fuel efficiency may differ in
accordance with your driving situ
-
ations (i.e. upward/downward
slope, vehicle deceleration/accel
-
eration).
䳜 When you dynamically drive the
vehicle in SMART mode by
abruptly decelerating or sharply
turning the driving mode changes
to SPORT mode. However, it may
adversely affect fuel economy.
Various driving situations, which
you may encounter in SMART mode
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer
-
tain period of time, when you
gently depress the accelerator
pedal. (Your driving is categorised
to be economic.)
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after a
certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat
-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer
-
tain angle. The driving mode
automatically returns to SMART
ECO mode, when the vehicle
enters a levelled road.
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehi
-
cle or repetitively operate the
steering wheel. (Your driving is
categorised to be sporty.) In this
mode, your vehicle drives in a
lower gear for abrupt accelerat
-
ing/decelerating and increases the
engine brake performance.
䳜 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 situa

tion, not indicating any malfunc

tion.
