ABSTRACT:
A voice warning system for an automotive vehicle informs the driver of the amount of remaining fuel in voice form whenever the driver inserts the ignition key. The system comprises a fuel amount sensing unit, a ready-to-drive sensor, a voice output selector for selectively outputting a voice output designation signal according to the signal from the fuel amount sensing unit, and a voice memory where various voice outputs are stored and are outputted in accordance with the designation signal. The ready-to-drive sensor may be a key sensing switch, a seat switch, or the ignition switch. In addition, a voice warning volume is set in accordance with the car radio system volume setting via a volume memory and a voice volume selector. The voice warning sound volume is adjusted and outputted by an electronic volume controller and a speaker of the car radio system. Additionally, a timer may be used to disenable the system for a predetermined delay interval or according to a predetermined schedule.
