PEDESTRIAN ACOUSTIC
WARNING SYSTEM
The vehicle is provided with a
pedestrian acoustic warning system.
This system uses different sounds to
warn pedestrians of the approach
of the vehicle. The acoustic warning
system is provided with a speaker
located in the engine compartment.
The system is automatically activated
when a gear other than P (Park) is
engaged and remains active as long as
the vehicle is travelling at a speed of
25 km/h or less.
Any malfunction of the acoustic
warning system is indicated by the
yellow symbol on the display.
ONE-SPEED
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle uses a one-speed
transmission to transmit the power
developed by the electric motor. The
one-speed transmission is operated by
rotary control instead of the traditional
gear lever.
The rotary control (A) fig. 219 is located
on the instrument panel.
