Function of Vehicle Approaching Reporting Device OFF Button

What is Vehicle Approaching Reporting Device?

Though we think the sound comes from an internal combustion engine as an annoying sound some
times, it prevents most road traffic accidents by alerting the pedestrians and animals about the
danger coming from behind.

But in hybrid vehicles, when they are running in “EV (Electric Vehicle)” mode specially at low
speeds, there wont be any sound generated. So, that will increase the risk of accidents because the
pedestrians wont notice the vehicle coming from behind.

To overcome this problem vehicle manufacturers developed an electronic device that produce a
sound similar to the engine noise. Honda named this device as "Vehicle Approaching Reporting
Device". You can turn this device On-Off by the button mentioned above. Best practice is to keep
this device On all the time. Though you turn off the device once, it automatically turns On when the
car restarts.
