4.7 Advanced Functions
4.7.1 AVAS
The electric motor is much quieter than the traditional gasoline engine, sometimes people might not be
aware of the approach of the Gogoro Smartscooter®, so when the Smartscooter® is moving at low
speed below 20 km/h, a warning sound (Acoustic Vehicle Alert System, AVAS) will be played to warn the
pedestrians nearby.
You can turn AVAS off temporarily in the Gogoro® App.
4.7.2 Safety Notifications
You can turn on the “Safety Notification” function in the Gogoro® App to enhance safety through some
extra light or sound effects:
●
Motor idling warning sound:
When the motor is turned on, but the Smartscooter® is fully
stopped for a period of time, and there is no user operation, then a short warning sound will be
played every few seconds to remind you that the motor has not been turned off, to avoid the
danger of accidentally touching the electronic throttle.
●
Enhanced turn signal notification:
Obvious indications on the dashboard to remind you whether
the turn signal is currently on or off.
●
Reversing warning:
When the reversing function is activated, there will be more obvious flashing
light and warning sound to notify other pedestrians nearby.
