Acoustic Vehicle Indication*

Acoustic Vehicle Indication*
Vehicles with an electric motor generate
much less driving noise than vehicles with
internal combustion engines. As a result,
your vehicle may not be heard by other road
users in certain situations.
To counteract this, a sound generator
installed in the vehicle produces a spe-
cific noise at speeds between 0 and
30 km/h. This function is called Acoustic
Vehicle Indication. It makes it possible
for other road users, especially pedes-
trians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better. Acoustic Vehicle Indication can
also be heard in the vehicle interior.
The volume of Acoustic Vehicle Indication
depends on the engine speed. The more you
accelerate, the louder the noise. At speeds
of over 30 km/h, the noise is switched off.
Above this speed, the driving noise natu-
rally created by the vehicle is sufficient
for the vehicle to be heard by other road
users in good time.
