Understanding virtual engine sound system
Electric vehicles do not use an internal combustion engine, so there is no engine noise
while driving. The Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS) generates engine sound to make
pedestrians aware of the approaching vehicle when driving.
• If the vehicle is in the ready ( ) mode and the gear is not in P (Park), the VESS is operated.
• When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning sound will be heard.
CAUTION • Be aware that the vehicle does not make engine noise while driving.
• Pay attention to the surrounding environment and drive carefully.
• After parking or waiting for a traffic light, please check around for children, or other obstacles before departure.
• When reversing, check directly behind you before driving. Pedestrians may not be able to recognize vehicle sounds.

Checking Electric Vehicle Driving Information
During vehicle operation, the instrument cluster displays the main information, such as
distance to empty, real-time energy status, battery charge level, and warning messages,
via the user interface and indicators.
Factors affecting the distance to empty
The distance to empty refers to the distance that can be driven by the current charged
battery level and is displayed on the bottom of the instrument cluster while driving the
electric vehicle.
B0002901
The distance to empty vary depending on many factors such as driving habits, power
usage, driving conditions, and high voltage battery. The distance to empty may be
increased or decreased from the certified figures as it reflects all the factors
comprehensively. Check the distance to empty considering the following:

Tips for enhancing the distance to empty
The distance to empty vary depending on the charge level of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, duration of the battery use, terrain, driving habits, etc.
You can increase the distance to empty by driving the vehicle following the instructions
below.
• The air resistance increases rapidly as the electric vehicle drives faster, so avoid speeding to increase the distance to empty and the electric energy economy.
• Rapid acceleration consumes a lot of driving energy and rapid deceleration limits the regenerative braking. Gradually depress and release the accelerator pedal when
accelerating or decelerating to maintain speed.
• If you operate the air conditioner or heater too much, the high voltage battery uses excessive electricity. This may reduce the distance to empty. Therefore, set the cabin
temperature to 72 °F (22 °C) AUTO level 2. Various assessment tests have been used to
verify that this setting maintains optimal energy consumption rates. Especially in
winter, reducing heating and using heated seats instead can significantly increase the
distance to empty. Turn off the air conditioner or heater if you do not need them.
• When using the air conditioner or heater, the energy consumption is reduced if recirculation mode is selected instead of fresh mode. Fresh mode requires a large
amount of energy consumption as the outside air has to be reheated or cooled.
• Close the windows while driving. Driving with the windows open increases air resistance and the usage of the air conditioner or heater.
• When using the air conditioner or heater while driving alone, use the DRIVER ONLY function.
• Always maintain specified tire pressures and use tires for electric vehicles.
• Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
• Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
• Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
When the distance to empty is insufficient
• When the High voltage battery level warning light is displayed, immediately charge the vehicle at a nearby charging station.
• Drive energy efficiently following the “Tips for enhancing the distance to empty.”
• When the battery level is 0 %, do not try to drive. Move to a safe place and call for help.

holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps 2
through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot, the
retractor is in the "Automatic Locking"
mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the "Installing a
Child Restraint System (CRS)" section in
this chapter.

Information When the seat belt is allowed to retract to its
fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock mode
for normal adult usage.

WARNING If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously injured
or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored in the car, including
manually pulling the seat belt all the way
out to shift the retractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode.

To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of

ability to control the SRS deployment
based on whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation within two
levels. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module
(SRSCM) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front airbags, take
the following precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Move your seat as far back as possible from front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or center console.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
• Never place any objects (such as dashboard cover, mobile phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stickers) over or
near the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, windshield
glass, and the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box. Such objects may
cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
• Do not attach any objects on the front windshield and inside mirror.

Side airbags

B3003202
B3003203
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of
the airbag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered by
the seat belt alone.
The side airbags are designed to deploy
during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact.
The side airbags on both sides of the
vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sensor.
(if equipped with rollover sensor)
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
The side airbags are designed to deploy
during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity.
