BYD SEAL EV - Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

WARNING
resulting in serious injuries or
deaths.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS)
The acoustic vehicle alerting system
(AVAS) refers to the broadcast to
pedestrians near the vehicle when it is
traveling at low speed.
• When the vehicle runs at a low speed,
it will produce proper alerting sound to
alert the pedestrians.
• When driving forward:
•The broadcast volume increases with
increment of velocity that is at 0
km/h ﹤ V ≤ 20 km/h.
•The broadcast volume decreases
with increment of velocity that is at
20 km/h ﹤ V ≤ 30 km/h.
•The broadcast sound stops
automatically when vehicle velocity
is greater than ﹥ 30 km/h.
• When driving in reverse, the vehicle
makes a continuous and balanced
prompt sound.
Usage
To turn on or o󽗈 the Engine Sound
Simulator, slide down the top status bar
on the infotainment screen to display
the shortcut page. The system is enabled
by factory default. AVAS has three
audio modes: standard, dynamic and
comfortable. To set the mode, go to the
infotainment touchscreen
→ Vehicle
settings → Intelligent noti󽗉cation.
WARNING
• The AVAS pause switch can only
be used if there are no other
road users within a short distance,
and no audio prompt is needed
considering the surroundings (for
example, in a tra󽗋c jam or on the
highway). As long as pedestrians
may appear around the vehicle,
the AVAS needs to be turned on.
• If the vehicle travels at a low
speed with the AVAS disabled,
it will not be able to remind
pedestrians of the approaching
vehicle, which may result in a
car accident and, in severe cases,
death or personal injury.
•
If the AVAS prompt sound cannot
be heard when driving at a low
speed, stop the vehicle in a
relatively safe and quiet place,
open the window, then drive at
a constant speed of 20 km/h in
D gear and check whether an
audio prompt can be heard from
the front of the vehicle. If it is
con󽗉rmed that there is no sound,
contact a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider to deal with it.
