Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)

Virtual Engine Sound System generates engine sound for pedestrians to hear vehicle sound because there is limited sound whilst the Electric Vehicle (EV) is operating.

  • If the vehicle is moving at low speed, the VESS will operate.

  • If you change the shift position from P(Parking) to any other one, the VESS will operate.

WARNING

The sound system only plays a supplementary role. The system is not designed to and does not replace the care of drivers. Drivers should always pay attention to their surroundings whilst driving.

CAUTION

  • The vehicle does not generate an engine sound. Be aware of your driving environment and drive safely.

  • After you park the vehicle or whilst you are waiting at a traffic light, check whether there are children or obstacles around the vehicle.

  • Check if there is something behind the vehicle when driving in reverse. Pedestrians may not hear the sound of the vehicle.
