CAUTION
SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE
will be automatically selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient, but the actual fuel econ‐
omy will depend on various driving factors (on uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This
may decrease fuel efficiency.
