The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped) causes
Model 3 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 3 is shifted out
of Park, gets louder as speed increases.
NOTE:
The Pedestrian Warning System is not available in
vehicles manufactured prior to September 1, 2019.
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. If the Pedestrian
Warning System is not operating, immediately
contact Tesla.
