Smart Shift On Trip Computer - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

Driving your vehicle
mode, when the vehicle enters a
leveled road.
The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehi-
cle or repetitively operate the
steering wheel. (Your driving is
categorised to be sporty.) In this
mode, your vehicle drives in a
lower gear for abrupt accelerat-
ing/decelerating and increases the
engine brake performance.
You may still sense the engine
braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in
lower gear over a certain period
of time for next acceleration.
Thus, it is a normal driving situa-
tion, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
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
in SMART ECO mode.

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 tem-
perature may temporarily deacti-
vate the SMART mode, because
