VEHICLE PROXIMITY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. When the vehicle is being driven under the power of just the HV Battery (hybrid engine is not running), the vehicle proximity notification system outputs a warning sound from the vehicle approaching speaker assembly to inform pedestrians, cyclists etc., of the approach of the vehicle.

    2. The warning sound is output by the vehicle approaching speaker assembly at a volume level that will not be perceived as noise. Also the pitch of the sound changes in accordance with the vehicle speed so that the sound reflects vehicle deceleration and acceleration.

    3. Vehicle proximity notification system operation automatically stops when the vehicle is stopped, the engine starts or the vehicle speed is more than 25 km/h (16 mph). Also, the system can be switched between operation permitted and stopped by operation of the vehicle approaching speaker switch.
