ECO mode

ECO mode is a drive mode that helps improve the vehicle's energy efficiency by suppressing driving behaviors that reduce energy efficiency.

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

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

  • When ECO mode is activated:

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

    • Air conditioning performance may be limited.

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

NORMAL mode

NORMAL mode is a standard drive mode used for driving on regular roads, in urban areas, and on highways.

SPORT mode

SPORT mode is a driving mode that enhances driving performance by providing quick and responsive control of the steering wheel and drive motor, while also locking the AWD system.: (if equipped)

In SPORT mode, the electric energy efficiency may decrease.

When SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator will appear on the instrument cluster and the color of the mood lamp will change.

MY DRIVE mode

In MY DRIVE mode, the driver can select separate modes and combine them on the infotainment system screen.

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 (AWD) helps improve driving stability.

  • When SNOW mode is selected, the SNOW indicator will appear 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.: (if equipped)

WARNING

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

  • Keep appropriate distance from the vehicle in the front.

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