Attributes of SMART MODE.
• If the accelerator pedal is pressed
gently, your vehicle will recognize it
as an economic driving style. After
some time, the system will automati‐
cally shift to SMART ECO MODE.
• If you press the accelerator pedal
frequently and heavily in SMART ECO
MODE, the system will automatically
shift to SMART NORMAL MODE.
• Even when driving style has not
changed from SMART ECO MODE, if
your vehicle is driven uphill considera‐
bly, the system will detect the gradi‐
ent. Then, the SMART system will au‐
tomatically change the setting to the
SMART NORMAL MODE temporarily.
Once your vehicle is out of the hilly
ground, your vehicle will automatical‐
ly return to the SMART ECO MODE.
• The SMART system will recognize
sudden and repetitive acceleration or
steering as aggressive driving and au‐
tomatically turn to the SMART SPORT
MODE. Your vehicle will run at a lower
gear in SMART SPORT MODE com‐
pared to those in SMART NORMAL
MODE.
The vehicle's start and stop response
rate will become faster.
• When the SMART SPORT MODE is ac‐
tivated, and you take your feet off
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will
remain in low gear and you may
sense engine brake. This is due to
necessary preparatory time for the
next acceleration and is only normal.
• The SMART SPORT MODE is activated
only when very aggressive and high
speed is detected. Therefore, in aver‐
age driving styles, the SMART system
will select either SMART ECO or
SMART NORMAL MODE.
• The artificial intelligence algorithm
will instantly calculate each driver's
style of driving. So if the driver is
changed to a different person, the al‐
gorithm will measure accordingly.
Conditions which Limit SMART
MODE
In following conditions your vehicle will
temporarily stop the SMART Mode and
the indicator light will turn off.
• When using the manual transmission
operation mode: If the transaxle sys‐
tem is changed from automatic to
manual, your vehicle will automatical‐
ly stop the SMART MODE.
If transmission operation is changed
from automatic to manual, the vehi‐
cle will reflect it and automatically
stop the SMART MODE.
• When the Cruise Control system is
turned on:
When the driver sets a target cruise
control speed, your vehicle will auto‐
matically stop the SMART MODE.
(The SMART MODE will not stop im‐
mediately after you press the cruise
control button, but when the cruise
control system takes control of the
vehicle speed.)
• If the temperature of the transaxle
oil is very high or low:
The SMART MODE control system will
operate in nearly all driving condi‐
tions. But when the temperature of
the transaxle oil is out of the normal
range, the SMART MODE system may
become temporarily unavailable.
