G-Force
When selected, this screen displays all four G-Force values (two lateral
and two longitudinal) as well as steering angle.When G-Force is selected, the following features will be available:
Lateral G-Force Left and Right
• The lateral g-force measures the (sideways) left and right force of the
vehicle.
Longitudinal G-Force Acceleration and Braking
• The longitudinal g-force measures the acceleration and braking force of the vehicle.
Peak G-Forces Acceleration and Braking, Left and Right
• This shows the maximum g-forces that have been achieved since the last reset from the instrument cluster display. Peak values are
maintained through ignition cycles by the instrument cluster display
until they are cleared by the driver.
NOTE: To clear peak values, use the steering wheel controls while on the
instrument cluster g-force page.
Vehicle Speed
• Vehicle Speed measures the current speed of the vehicle in either mph or km/h, starting at zero with no maximum value.
Steering Wheel Angle
•
Steering Wheel Angle utilizes the steering angle sensor to measure the
degree of the steering wheel relative to zero. The zero degree measure-
ment indicates a steering wheel straight ahead position. When the
steering angle value is negative, this indicates a turn to the left, and
when the steering angle value is positive, a turn to the right.
