When the Drive Mode is set to ECO mode, the engine and transmission control logic are changed to maximize fuel efficiency.

Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's driving habit and road condition.

• When the ECO mode is selected by using the DRIVE MODE button, the ECO indicator will illuminate.

• Whenever the engine is restarted, the drive mode remains in ECO mode.

• When ECO mode is activated:

  • The acceleration response may be slightly reduced as the accelerator pedal is depressed moderately.

  • The air conditioner performance may be limited.

  • The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.

  • The engine noise may get louder.

The above situations are normal conditions when ECO mode is activated to improve fuel efficiency.

• Limitation of ECO mode operation:

  • When the coolant temperature is low: The system will be limited until engine performance becomes normal.

  • When driving up a hill:

    The system will be limited to gain power when driving uphill because engine torque is restricted.

  • When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds:

    The system will be limited, judging that the driver wants to speed up..

NORMAL mode provides smooth driving and comfortable riding.

NORMAL mode is selected, it does not appear on the instrument cluster.

SPORT mode provides sporty but firm riding.

In SPORT mode, the energy efficiency may decrease.

• When the SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster.

In MY DRIVE MODE, you can adjust the vehicle performance for each function. To set MY DRIVE MODE, select Setup > Vehicle > Drive Mode > MY DRIVE MODE in the infotainment system.
