Driving your vehicle Drive mode integrated control system (AWD)
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in harsh driving situations. In
most of the normal driving situa
-
tions, the driving mode sets to be
either in SMART ECO mode or in
SMART COMFORT mode.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indi
-
cator illuminates in those situa
-
tions.)
䳜 The driver manually shift the
gear. It deactivates SMART mode.
䳜 The cruise control is activated:
The cruise system may deacti
-
vate the SMART mode. When a
higher system is set by the cruise
system, it starts to control vehicle
speed and deactivates SMART
mode. (SMART mode is not deac
-
tivated just by activing the cruise
system.)
䳜 The transmission oil temperature
is either extremely low or
extremely high: The SMART mode
can be active in most of the nor
-
mal driving situations. However,
an extremely high/ low transmis
-
sion oil temperature may tempo
-
rarily deactivate the SMART
mode, because the transmission
condition is out of normal opera
-
tion condition.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the
driving dynamics by auto
-
matically adjusting the
steering effort, and the
engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver perfor
-
mance.
䳜 When SPORT mode is selected by
turning the knob, the SPORT indi
-
cator (orange colour) will illumi
-
nate.
䳜 Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the knob.
䳜 When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after
releasing the accelerator.
- Upshifts are delayed when
accelerating.
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
ECO mode
When the Drive Mode is set
to ECO mode, the engine
and transmission control
logic are changed to
maximise fuel efficiency.
