5.  Check if the ready ( ) indicator is 
turned OFF on the instrument cluster.
When the ready (
) indicator is 
ON and the gear is in a position other 
than P (Park), the driver can accidently 
depress the accelerator pedal, causing 
the vehicle to move unexpectedly. 
Virtual engine sound system
The Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS) 
generates sound for pedestrians to hear 
because there is no sound while the 
Electric Vehicle (EV) is operating.
•  If the vehicle is in the ready ( ) 
mode and any gear other than P (Park) 
is selected, 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.
