The Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS) produces an engine sound so that pedestrians can hear the vehicle because there is a limited sound while the motor power is in use.

• The VESS operates when the vehicle moves at a low speed.

  WARNING

  The sound system only plays a supplementary role. It is not designed to replace the caution of the driver. Always pay attention to your surroundings while driving.

  CAUTION

  • After you park the vehicle or while you are waiting at a traffic light, check for children or obstacles around the vehicle.

  • When driving in reverse, check to see if there is anything behind the vehicle. Pedestrians might not hear the sound of the vehicle.
