System Description [09/2017 - ]

The simulated engine sounds are calculated in accordance with vehicle information, such as the engine speed, drive mode, vehicle speed, shift lever position and accelerator pedal opening angle. The sounds can be turned on and off and the volume can be adjusted via operation of the vehicle sound switch.

1. w/ Adaptive Variable Suspension System:
   1. Additional engine sound
      • Specially designed engine sounds which are synchronized with the engine speed and output when the vehicle is being driven.
      • Generated when the vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and engine speed is 980 rpm or more.
        ADDITIONAL ENGINE SOUND GENERATION CONDITIONS
        
        

        Item	Condition				Remark

        Shift lever position	R, D, M				-
        Vehicle speed	6 km/h (4 mph) or more				When all of the conditions are met, additional engine sounds are generated.
        Engine speed	980 rpm or more
        Gear	-				-

        1. *: Customize mode refers to when the following conditions are set on the multi-display customize setting screen. [Setup]→[Vehicle]→[Drive Mode Customization]→[Powertrain]→[Power] or [Normal]

           Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [09/2017 - ]

   2. Intake flow noise
      • Specially designed intake flow noise which is output when the throttle valve is opened rapidly and intake airflow increases.
      • Generated when the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is depressed rapidly.
        INTAKE FLOW NOISE GENERATION CONDITIONS
        
        

        Item	Condition	Remark
        Drive mode	Sport S+ mode	-
        Shift lever position	P, R, N, D, M	-
        Vehicle speed	0 km/h (0 mph) or more and 1 km/h (1 mph) or less, or more than 100 km/h (62 mph) and 250 km/h (155 mph) or less	-
        Engine speed	Between 1300 rpm and 5000 rpm	-
        Accelerator pedal opening angle	Opening angle range: Between 15% and 70% Condition: When the accelerator pedal opening angle increases 15% or more in 0.01 seconds	To generate additional intake flow noise again, decrease the accelerator pedal opening angle to below 10%.
        Gear	-	-

   3. Exhaust pulsation sound
      • Specially designed exhaust pulsation sound which simulates the sound of unburned exhaust gases combusting in and around the exhaust pipe.
      • Generated when the vehicle is being driven with the accelerator pedal depressed, and the accelerator pedal is suddenly released.
        EXHAUST PULSATION SOUND GENERATION CONDITIONS
        
        

        Item	Condition	Remark
        Drive mode	Sport S+ mode	-
        Shift lever position	D, M	-
        Vehicle speed	75 km/h (47 mph) or more	-
        Engine speed	-	-
        Accelerator pedal opening angle	From 80% or more to 0% within 0.18 seconds	-
        Gear	3rd or less	-

   4. SID (S+ sound)
      • SID (S+ sound) sound generation conditions:

        With the engine switch on (IG) and the vehicle sound switch ON, the drive mode is changed to Sport S+.

2. w/o Adaptive Variable Suspension System:
   1. Additional engine sound
      • Specially designed engine sounds which are synchronized with the engine speed and output when the vehicle is being driven.
      • Generated when the vehicle speed is 6 km/h (4 mph) or more and engine speed is 980 rpm or more.
        ADDITIONAL ENGINE SOUND GENERATION CONDITIONS
