Virtual vehicle 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.
The VESS system only plays a supplementary role. The system is not designed to and does not replace the responsibility of drivers. Drivers should always pay attention to their surroundings while driving.
-
The vehicle is much quieter while driving than a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle. Be aware of your surroundings and always 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.
