Driving your vehicle
Attributes of SMART MODE.
• If the accelerator pedal is pressed
gently, your vehicle will recognize it
as a economic driving style. After
some time, the system will automat-
ically shift to SMART ECO MODE.
• If you press the accelerator pedal
frequently and heavily in SMART
ECO MODE, the system will auto-
matically shift to SMART NORMAL
MODE.
• Even when driving style has not
changed from SMART
MODE, if your vehicle is driven
uphill considerably, the system will
detect the gradient. Then, the
SMART system will automatically
change the setting to the SMART
NORMAL MODE temporarily.
Once your vehicle is out of the hilly
ground, your vehicle will automati-
cally return to the SMART ECO
MODE.

• The SMART system will recognize
sudden and repetitive acceleration or
steering as aggressive driving and
automatically turn to the SMART
SPORT MODE. Your vehicle will run
at a lower gear in SMART SPORT
MODE compared to those in
SMART NORMAL MODE.
The vehicle's start and stop
response rate will become faster.
• When the SMART SPORT MODE
is activated, and you take your feet
off the accelerator pedal, the vehi-
ECO
cle will remain in low gear and you
may sense engine brake. This is
due to necessary preparatory time
for the next acceleration and is
only normal.
• The SMART SPORT MODE is acti-
vated only when very aggressive
and high speed is detected.
Therefore, in average driving
styles, the SMART system will
select either SMART ECO or
SMART NORMAL MODE.
• The artificial intelligence algorithm
will instantly calculate each driver's
style of driving. So if the driver is
changed to a different person, the
algorithm will measure accordingly.
