Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

WARNING: The AVAS system does not replace your responsibility as a driver to stay alert and aware of your surroundings while operating the vehicle.

Because electric vehicles run silently, this vehicle is equipped with an AVAS system that emits a continuous sound to warn pedestrians of its presence.

  • Sound activates when vehicle is in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is less than 20 mph(32 km/h).

  • The sound is active even when the vehicle is stationary

  • Volume cannot be adjusted

  • AVAS cannot be disabled
