The Pedestrian Warning System causes Model Y to emit
sound when driving below approximately 19 mph (32 km/h)
or while driving in reverse. Electric vehicles operate quietly
and this sound helps to alert pedestrians of your oncoming
vehicle. The sound, which activates whenever Model Y is
shifted out of Park, gets louder as speed increases.
WARNING:
If sound cannot be heard, pedestrians may
not be aware of your oncoming vehicle, which may
increase the likelihood of a collision resulting in serious
injury or death. Never rely on the Pedestrian Warning
System to make sure that pedestrians are aware of
your vehicle. If the Pedestrian Warning System is not
operating, schedule a service appointment.
