Pedestrian Safety Signal
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic sound generator and a
manual alert. The automatic sound is generated at speeds below

headlamps will flash and a soft-note alert will sound.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Low Ground Clearance
The low ground clear-
ance of the ELR aids its
aerodynamic efficiency.
As a result, the flexible
air deflector under the
front fascia (bumper) may
contact a parking block or
curb if the vehicle is parked
too closely. Use care when
parking to avoid damage.
