Drive Mode

B6009701

Drive mode may be selected according to the driver's preference or road condition.

B6009702

The mode changes whenever the driver pushes the DRIVE mode button.

NORMAL mode

Normal mode is a driving that provides comfortable driving with normal motor response. The vehicle is driven mainly with the rear wheels (2WD), and automatically converts to AWD according to the road and driving conditions.

ECO mode

ECO mode is a driving mode vehicles could change the engagement status of the motor according to the situation required. Auto changing the driving mode(2WD/AWD)helps improve energy efficiency.

Electric energy efficiency varies according to the driver's driving habit and road condition.

  • When ECO mode is selected, the ECO indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster and the color of the mood lamp is changed.

  • When ECO mode is activated:

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

    • The air conditioner performance may be limited.

    • The shift pattern of the gear may change.

      The above situations are normal conditions when ECO mode is activated to help improve electric energy efficiency.

Limitations of ECO mode

If the following conditions occur while ECO mode is operating, the system operation is limited even though there is no change in the ECO indicator.

  • When coolant temperature is low:

    The system will be limited until motor performance becomes normal.

  • When driving up a hill:

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

SPORT mode

SPORT mode is a driving mode improving driving performance by fixing AWD system and controlling gear.

In SPORT mode, the electric energy efficiency may decrease.

  • When SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster and the color of the mood lamp is changed.

  • Whenever the vehicle is restarted, the drive mode reverts back to NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is desired, re-select SPORT mode.

SNOW mode

SNOW mode is a driving mode improving driving performance by changing the engagement status of the motor according to the situation required. Auto changing the driving mode(2WD/AWD)helps improve driving stability.

  • Press and hold the drive mode button to select SNOW mode.

  • When SNOW mode is selected, the SNOW indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster and the color of the mood lamp will change.

  • When SNOW mode is activated, the driving power is distributed to four wheels automatically, increasing the stability of the vehicle.

  • Depress the accelerator pedal softly on the snow and the ice.

  • Keep the distance from the vehicle in the front.

  • Prevent rapid acceleration, deceleration and steering control. Abrupt driving on the snow may cause the accident.

MY DRIVE MODE

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

Press and hold the drive mode button to select MY DRIVE MODE. The MY DRIVE MODE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster.

  • When driving in 2WD, AWD will operate under following conditions:

    • Driving at low speed or stopping

    • Driving on an uphill or slippery road

    • Malfunction of the rear-wheel motor

  • If the controller is replaced or the controller software is updated, the setting of MY DRIVE MODE may be initialized.
