Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestrians
to hear vehicle sound because there is
no sound while the Electric Vehicle (EV)
is operating.
If the vehicle is in the ready (
mode and the gear is not in P (Park),
the VESS will be operated.
When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
CAUTION
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.

The location of where the vehicle range
is displayed is different depending on
which drive mode is active.
For more details, refer to "Drive Mode
System" in chapter 5.
When destination is not set
On average, a vehicle can drive
about 250 miles (400 km). Under
certain circumstances where the air
conditioner/heater is ON, the range
is affected, resulting in a possible
distance range from 210~250 miles
(335~400 km). When using the heater
during cold weather or driving at
high speed, the high voltage battery
consumes a lot more electricity. This
may reduce the range significantly.
After "---" has been displayed,
the vehicle can drive an additional
2~5 miles (3~8 km) depending on
driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other
factors.
