Type B

  1. Normal mode
    Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and dynamic performance. Suitable for normal driving.
  2. Sport mode
    Controls the transmission and engine to provide quick, powerful acceleration. This mode also changes the steering feel, making it suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as when driving on roads with many curves.

    When Sport mode is selected, Sport mode indicator comes on.

  3. Eco drive mode
    Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and improve fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling).

    When Eco drive mode is selected, Eco drive mode indicator comes on.

■When changing to a driving mode other than normal mode (AWD vehicles)

  • Turn eco air conditioning mode off
  • Adjust the fan speed
  • Cancel Eco drive mod

■Canceling a driving mode

  • Sport mode is automatically canceled and the driving mode returns to normal mode when the engine switch is turned off.
  • Normal mode and Eco drive mode are not canceled until another driving mode is selected. (Even if the engine switch is turned off, normal mode and Eco drive mode will not be automatically canceled.)
