Hyundai Santa Fe: Driving your vehicle / Drive mode integrated control system (2WD)
Drive mode may be selected according to the driver's preference or road condition.
Drive mode
The mode changes whenever the DRIVE MODE knob is rotated.
COMFORT mode
COMFORT mode provides smooth driving and comfortable riding.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode provides sporty but firm riding.
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may decrease.
- When SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator will illuminate on
the instrument cluster.
- Whenever the engine is restarted, the drive mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode is desired, re-select SPORT mode.
- When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time even
after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerating
SMART mode
SMART mode selects the proper driving mode among ECO, COMFORT and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (for example, mild or dynamic) from the brake pedal
depression or the steering wheel operation.
- Press the DRIVE MODE button to activate SMART mode. When SMART mode
is activated, the indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster.
- The vehicle starts in SMART mode, when the engine was turned OFF in
SMART mode.
- SMART mode automatically controls gear shifting patterns, engine torque,
in accordance with the driver's driving habits.
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 in accordance with your driving situations (for example, upward/downward
slope, vehicle deceleration/acceleration).
- 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.
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, 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/decelerating and increases the engine brake performance.
- You may still sense the engine brake performance, even when you release
the accelerator pedal in SMART SPORT mode. It is because your vehicle remains
to be in a lower gear over a certain period of time for next acceleration. Thus,
it is a normal driving situation, not indicating any malfunction.
- 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.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in following situations. (The OFF indicator illuminates
in those situations.)
- The driver manually moves the shift button : It deactivates SMART mode.
The vehicle drives, as the driver manually moves the shift button.
- The cruise control is activated : The cruise system may deactivate
the SMART mode. When a higher system is set by the cruise system, it starts
to control vehicle speed and deactivates SMART mode. (SMART mode is not deactivated
just by activing the cruise system.)
- The transmission oil temperature is either extremely low or extremely
high : The SMART mode can be active in most of the normal driving situations.
However, an extremely high/ low transmission oil temperature may temporarily
deactivate the SMART mode, because the transmission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
