Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)

Virtual Engine Sound System generates engine sound for pedestrians to hear vehicle sound because there is limited sound while 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 while 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 while 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.
