Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
• The driver uses the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode) :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally changes gear with the paddle
shifter.
• The cruise control is activated :
The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of the smart cruise control
system. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise control system.)
• The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
SPORT
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
SPORT
automatically adjusting
the steering effort, and
the engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver perform-
ance.
• When SPORT mode is selected by
rotating the DRIVE MODE selec-
tion knob, the SPORT indicator will
illuminate.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode
is desired, re-select SPORT mode.
• When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain a little higher for a brief
time even after releasing the
accelerator. This is typical when
the SPORT mode is activated.
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
i
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
ECO mode
When the drive mode is
set to ECO mode, the
ECO
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficien-
cy.
• When ECO mode is selected by
rotating the DRIVE MODE selec-
tion knob, the ECO indicator will
illuminate.
• The vehicle starts in ECO mode,
when the engine was turned OFF
in ECO mode.
i
Information
