Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the internal wireless
radio is far below the FCC and IC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio
will be used in such a manner that the radio is 8 in
(20 cm) or further from the human body.
The internal wireless radio operates within
guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, which reflect
the consensus of the scientific community.
The radio manufacturer believes the internal
wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The
level of energy emitted is far less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless
devices such as mobile phones. However, the use
of wireless radios may be restricted in some
situations or environments, such as aboard
airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are
encouraged to ask for authorization before turning
on the wireless radio Ú page 480.
PERFORMANCE PAGES — IF EQUIPPED
Performance Pages is an application that provides
a display for performance indicators that will help
you gain familiarity with the capabilities of your
vehicle in real time.
To access the Performance Pages, press the
Vehicle button on the touchscreen. Then, press the
Performance tab. Press the desired button on the
touchscreen to access that specific Performance
Page. The Performance Pages include the following: Timers
Gauges
G-Force
Dyno/Engine
Vehicle Dynamics
Snapshot
The Snapshot feature allows you to take a
screenshot of any page. The information can be
saved onto a USB device.
To take a snapshot, make sure a USB device is
plugged into the vehicle. Next, press the Snapshot
icon located in the lower left corner of the
touchscreen.
The file will be saved to the USB drive. At the time
a snapshot is taken, the bottom bar of the
touchscreen will be replaced with the historical
data from the vehicle present at the time the
snapshot icon was pressed. The following
information will display:
Date
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Longitude And Latitude Coordinates
Outside Temperature
Odometer
WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the
Performance Pages is intended for off-highway
or off-road use only and should not be done on
any public roadways. It is recommended that
these features be used in a controlled
environment and within the limits of the law. The
capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the
Performance Pages must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which can
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver
can prevent accidents.5

The following describes each feature and its
operation:
TIMERS
When the Timers page is selected, you will be able
to view the Drag and Accel & Braking timers.
Recent
A real-time summary of performance timers for
the most recent valid run, or the status of a test
in progress.
Last
The last recorded run of performance timers.
Best
The best recorded run of performance timers,
except for braking data.
Save
Pressing the SAVE button will let you save the timer
data for Recent, Last, and Best recorded times to
an inserted USB flash drive.
The Timers pages contain the timers listed below:
Reaction Time: Measures the driver's reaction
time for launching the vehicle against a simu -
lated drag strip timing light (behavior modeled
after 500 Sportsman Tree) displayed in the
instrument cluster display.
NOTE:Drag timers (RT, 60 ft [20 m], 330 ft [100 m],
1/8 mile [200 m], 1000 ft [300 m], and 1/4 mile
[400 m]) and Acceleration Timers (0-60 mph
[0-96 km/h] and 0-100 mph [0-160 km/h]) will be
ready to acquire new recent data measurements
when the vehicle is at 0 mph (0 km/h) and vehicle
is in drive.
The timer listed below shows the measured time
required to travel at the cited distance is met.
Some timers will also display speeds present at the
time the distance was met.
0-60 mph (0-100 km/h)
0-100 mph (0-160 km/h)
60 ft (20 m) ET
330 ft (100 m) ET
⅛ Mile (200 m) + ET
⅛ Mile (200) + mph
1000 ft (300 m) ET
¼ Mile (400 m) + ET
¼ Mile (400 m) + mph
Brake Distance ft (meters)
NOTE:The distance measurement will be aborted if the
brake pedal is released or the parking brake is
engaged, before the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
Brake from mph (km/h)
NOTE:Brake Distance and Speed timers only display
“ready” when vehicle is traveling at a speed
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h).
GAUGES
When selected, this screen displays the following
values:
Coolant Temperature
Shows the actual coolant temperature.
Oil Temperature
Shows the actual oil temperature.
Oil Pressure
Shows the actual oil pressure.
Trans Temp
Shows actual transmission oil temperature.

22_DT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 304

Battery Voltage
Shows actual battery voltage.
Intake Air Temp
Shows actual intake air temperature.
If a gauge is selected, the Gauge Detail View Page
will appear on the screen. This page shows gauge
values for the previous two minutes on the
selected gauge.
Pressing the Left or Right Arrow will cycle through
the details for each of the gauges. Pressing the
minimize button beside the graph will return to the
Gauge menu.
G-FORCE
When G-Force is selected, the following features
will be available:
Vehicle Speed
Measures the current speed of the vehicle in
either mph or km/h, starting at zero with no
maximum value.
Front G-Force
Measures the peak braking force on the front of
the vehicle.
Right G-Force
Measures the peak force on the right side of the
vehicle.
Left G-Force
Measures the peak force on the left side of the
vehicle.
Rear G-Force
Measures the peak acceleration force on the
rear of the vehicle.
NOTE:Front, Right, Left, and Rear G-Forces are all peak
values. These readings can be reset by clearing
peak G-Force on the instrument cluster.
The friction circle display shows instantaneous
G-Force as a highlight and previous G-Force as
dots within the circle. The system records previous
G-Force for three minutes. If there are multiple
samples at a given point, the color of the dot will
darken from blue to red. Vectors more frequent will
show in red; infrequent vectors will show in blue.
Pitch & Roll
The G-Force page displays the vehicle’s current
pitch (angle up and down) and roll (angle side to
side) in degrees. The pitch and roll gauges provide
a visualization of the current vehicle angle.
DYNAMOMETER (DYNO)/ENGINE
Dynamometer (Dyno)
The system will start drawing graphs for Power and
Torque (top chart) and Engine Speed (bottom
chart). The graph will fill from the left side of the
x-axis and fill to the right side of the x-axis (based
on History time selected). Once the right side of the
page is reached, the graph will scroll with the right
side always being the most recent recorded
sample.
The following options can be selected:
Pressing the STOP button will freeze the graph.
Selecting “Play” will clear the graph and restart
the process.
Press the + or – button to change the history of
the graph. The selectable options are “30”,
“60”, “90”, “120” seconds. The graph will
expand or constrict depending on the setting
selected.
Select the “Gear” display setting to turn the
graph gear markers on or off.
