Pedestrian Warning System

WHAT IS THE PEDESTRIAN WARNING SYSTEM

Because hybrid and electric vehicles are quiet at low speeds, the system produces a distinct sound to alert pedestrians.

The system is active when your vehicle is running and not in Park (P). Some sound may be audible to passengers in the coupe.
