Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)
generates an engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear the vehicle because there is
no sound while the Electric Vehicle (EV)
is operating.
If the vehicle is in the ready
and the gear is not in P (Park), the VESS
will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse),
an additional warning sound will be
heard.
CAUTION
The vehicle does not generate an engine
a sound. Be aware of your driving envi-
ronment and 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.
NOTICE
The sound system only plays a supple-
mentary role. The system is not
designed to and does not replace the
care of drivers. Drivers should always
pay attention to their surroundings while
driving.
Distance to Empty
You can check the distance the vehicle
can be driven with the current battery
amount.
mode
When destination is not set
Distance to empty may depend on many
factors such as the charge amount of
the high voltage battery, weather, tem-
perature, durability of the battery, geo-
graphical features, and driving style.
When the outside temperature drops,
such as in winter, the distance to empty
may decrease due to battery perfor-
mance degradation.
Natural degradation may occur with the
high voltage battery depending on the
number of years the vehicle is used. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
On average, a vehicle can drive approxi-
mately 385 km or 239 miles. However,
the distance to empty can be changed
from 280~500 km (174~310 miles)
depending on operation of the air condi-
tioner/heater and other various vehicle
conditions.
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
distance to empty significantly.
