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.
Distance to Empty
ONE1Q011099N
The distance to empty is displayed
differently according to the selected
drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated
Control System.
For more information, refer to “Drive
Mode Integrated Control System” in
chapter 6.
When destination is not set
[ On average, a vehicle can drive about
200 miles (320 km) (Standard type) /
300 miles (400 km) (Extended type).
[ Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON,
the distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 106 ~ 286 miles (170 ~ 460 km)
(Standard type) / 130 ~ 300 miles
(210 ~ 570 km) (Extended type).
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.
[ After ‘0 km’ 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.
