Mode Switch

Function
The mode switch is installed beside the selector lever and it
has two modes of "S" mode (Standard Mode) and "W" mode
(Winter Mode).
- "S" mode is used in normal driving (starts off with 1st gear).
TCU (Transmission Control Unit) provides pleasant driving
by changing the shifting pattern according to the driving
habits (downhill gripping: approx. 11 ~ 13.5 %)
- When "W" mode is selected, the Winter mode indicator
in meter cluster comes on, and the vehicle starts off with
2nd gear to achieve smooth starting on the icy or slippery
road.
In winter mode, the up shift becomes faster and the down shift becomes slower for improving fuel consumption. The "W"
mode is automatically changed to "S" mode in full throttle or kick-down operation. The vehicle can starts off with 2nd
reverse gear (gear ratio: 1.92 ~ 1.93) when the "W" mode is selected. It is very useful on icy and slippery road. However,
in this case, the "W" switch should be selected before placing the selector lever to "R" position.
Even though "W" mode is selected, the vehicle starts off with 1st gear in following:
When the system recognizes the mode switch operation, the selector lever control unit sends the control signal TCU via
CAN communication.
1. When the selector lever is in "1" position.
2. When fully depressing the accelerator pedal or when starting off with kick-down condition.
