Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode
• The driving mode
changes to ECO mode after a certain
period of time, when you gently de-
press the accelerator pedal (Your driv-
ing is categorized to be mild.).
• The driving mode
changes from SMART ECO mode to
SMART COMFORT mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you sharply
or repetitively depress the accelerator
pedal.
• The driving mode
changes to SMART COMFORT mode
with the same driving patterns, when
the vehicle starts to drive on an up-
ward slope of a certain angle. The driv-
ing mode automatically returns to
SMART ECO mode, when the vehicle
enters a leveled road.
• The driving mode
changes to SMART SPORT, when you
abruptly accelerate the vehicle or re-
petitively operate the steering wheel
(Your driving is categorized to be
sporty.). In this mode, your vehicle
drives in a lower gear for abrupt accel-
erating/decelerating and increases the
engine brake performance.
• You may still sense the engine brake
performance, even when you release
the accelerator pedal in SMART SPORT
mode. It is because your vehicle re-
mains to be in a lower gear over a cer-
tain period of time for next accelera-
tion. Thus, it is a normal driving
situation, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
• The
changes to SMART SPORT mode only
in harsh driving situations. In most of
automatically
the normal driving situations, the driv-
ing mode sets to be either in SMART
ECO mode or in SMART COMFORT
mode.

Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in fol-
lowing situations. (The OFF indicator illu-
minates in those situations.)

ver : It deactivates SMART mode. The
automatically
vehicle drives, as the driver manually
moves the shift lever.
• Cruise Control is activated : Cruise
Control may deactivate the SMART
mode. When a higher system is set by
Cruise Control, it starts to control vehi-
cle speed and deactivates SMART
mode. (SMART mode is not deactivat-
automatically
ed just by activing Cruise Control.)
• The transmission oil temperature is ei-
ther extremely low or extremely high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situations.
However, an extremely high/ low
transmission oil temperature may tem-
porarily deactivate the SMART mode,
because the transmission condition is
out of normal operation condition.
