SMART MODE
• SMART MODE is an intelligent
driving mode which automatically
selects the most appropriate drive
mode (Economic Ö Aggressive) by
measuring usage of steering
wheel, and accelerator pedal.
• When DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the SMART MODE is
selected, SMART indicator will illu-
minate on the dashboard.
• The color of the SMART MODE
indicator light will depend on the
driving style. If the driving style is
economic, average, and speedy,
the indicator light will be green,
white, and red in respective order.
• When the SMART MODE is acti-
vated, and the Engine Start/Stop
button is turned off and on again,
your car will still maintain the
SMART MODE.
