Hyundai i-30: Driving your vehicle / Drive mode integrated control system

The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preference
or road condition.
The system resets to be in the NORMAL
mode (except if it is in ECO
mode), when the engine is restarted.
Information
If there is a problem with the instrument
cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to SPORT mode.
The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE button
is pressed.

When NORMAL mode is selected, it
is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
ECO mode (if equipped)

When the Drive Mode is
set to ECO mode, the
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximise fuel efficiency.
- When the ECO mode is selected
by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the ECO indicator will illuminate.
- If the vehicle is set to ECO mode,
when the engine is turned OFF
and restarted, the Drive Mode setting
will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
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:
If the following conditions occur
whilst ECO mode is operating, the
system operation is limited even
though there is no change in ECO
indicator.
- 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 driving the vehicle with the
automatic transmission or the dual
clutch transmission gear shift lever
in manual shift mode:
The system will be limited due to
the shift location.
- When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode

SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, the engine
and transmission control
logic for enhanced driving
performance.
- When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
- Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
- 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
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
The battery sensor is deactivated,
when the battery is disconnected
from the negative pole for maintenance
purpose.
In this case, the ISG system is limitedly
operated due to the battery sensor
deactivation...
