CUSTOM Mode Features

SMART mode
SMART mode selects the proper driving
mode among SMART ECO, SMART
COMFORT and SMART SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (for example,
mild or dynamic) from the brake pedal
depression or the steering wheel
operation.
Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode
• The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a certain
period of time, when you gently
depress the accelerator pedal (Your
driving is categorized to be mild.).
• The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode to
SMART COMFORT mode after a certain
period of time, when you sharply or
repetitively depress the accelerator
pedal.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT mode
with the same driving patterns, when
the vehicle starts to drive on an upward
slope of a certain angle. The driving
mode automatically returns to SMART
ECO mode, when the vehicle enters a
leveled road.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode only in
harsh driving situations. In most of the
normal driving situations, the driving
mode sets to be either in SMART ECO
mode or in SMART COMFORT mode.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when you
abruptly accelerate the vehicle or
repetitively operate the steering wheel
(Your driving is categorized to be
sporty.). In this mode, your vehicle
drives in a lower gear for abrupt
accelerating or decelerating and
increases the engine brake
performance.
For general description of SMART ECO,
SMART COMFORT, and SMART SPORT
modes, refer to "ECO, COMFORT, SPORT
mode features".
Limitation of SMART mode
SMART may be limited in following
situations. ECO, COMFORT, SPORT mode
features
• The driver is using the paddle shifter to
manually shift gear. (The system
prioritizes the driver's manual shifting)
• Smart Cruise Control is activated.
• The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely high.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehicle in
SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve fuel
efficiency. However, the actual fuel
efficiency may differ depending on
your driving situations such as slope
angle, and vehicle speed.
• When you dynamically drive the vehicle
in SMART mode by abruptly
decelerating or sharply curving, the
driving mode changes to SPORT mode.
However, it may adversely affect fuel
economy.
