Driving your vehicle
When certain conditions are met, the
engine is automatically decoupled
from the transmission whilst the shift
lever is remained in D (Drive). In this
ECO Coasting mode, the engine
stays at idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption and increase coasting
distance. The engine is automatically
coupled back again when ECO
Coasting deactivation conditions are
met. Please refer to ECO Coasting
activation and deactivation conditions.
The Eco-Coasting system set-
ting
The Eco-Coasting system activate if
you activate the Eco-Coasting sys-
tem from AVN : "Setting  Vehicle 
Coasting" (Please refer to AVN man-
ual for more details.)
When the Eco-Coasting system is
activated, the message "Coasting"
appears at the top centre of the clus-
ter.
Eco-Coasting operation condi-
tions
The Eco-Coasting system is activat-
ed when the accelerator pedal is
depressed and released under the
following conditions.
• When the driving mode is ECO
mode.
• When driver acceleration is
SMART ECO in SMART mode.
• When the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position.
• When Cruise Control/Smart Cruise
Control button is OFF.
• If you do not step on the accelera-
tor pedal and brake pedal.
• When the vehicle speed is within
the range of 55 km/h to 160 km/h.

THE ECO-COASTING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
• If the accelerator pedal is
pressed quickly for accelerat-
ing with the Eco-Coasting sys-
tem in operation, acceleration
may occur after the engage-
ment of the clutch inside the
transmission. In turn, the driv-
er may continue to feel accel-
eration even after the system
is turned off.
• Driving with the Eco-Coasting
system off may be required in
some cases since the engine
brake is not applied whilst the
Eco-Coasting system is in
operation.
• Operation the AVN screen to
activate or deactivate Eco-
Coasting system whilst driv-
ing may be dangerous as the
driver's attention is dispersed.
