Exterior Sound
EXTERIOR SOUND
Unlike a traditional vehicle powered by an
internal combustion engine, electric
vehicles are inherently quiet at low speeds.
Although this potentially provides a large
benefit by reducing the levels of traffic noise
from passing vehicles, sound also acts as a
warning to other road users. It signifies the
presence of a vehicle, its speed, direction
and acceleration.
To help reduce this safety risk, your vehicle
has been fitted with an exterior sound
system to alert pedestrians and other road
users to your presence.
Two speakers are located on the exterior of
your vehicle, one under the front of the
vehicle and another under the rear.
Using the system
Note: The exterior sound system is
controlled automatically by the vehicle.
There is no need for driver intervention.
When the vehicle is put into Drive mode, the
exterior sound system is switched on. A
pulsing sound will be heard from the
exterior speakers.
As the vehicle’s speed increases, the pitch
of the sound increases until the vehicle’s
speed reaches approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h). At this speed the volume of the
sound will fade out and the exterior sound is
turned off.
The exterior sound will remain off until the
vehicle’s speed is reduced to approximately
28 mph (45 km/h). At this speed, the
exterior sound is switched on and the
sound will fade in. As the vehicle slows, the
pitch of the sound will decrease.
If a fault is detected with the exterior
sound system, an indicator light will
be displayed on the instrument cluster and
the system will be switched off. Refer the
problem to your local Fisker Retailer as
soon as possible.
Note: The exterior sound system remains
active even when the vehicle is in (P) Park.
