Not exact matches

A total of 11 screens give more information than I've ever seen in a production car, starting with the mundane oil temperature and pressure, turbo boost gauge and fuel economy, and ranging up to steering angle, acceleration and braking in percent, AWD torque distribution, and lateral, acceleration and braking g - force.

The PDR records GPS data, car performance information such as G - Force and steering angle and overlays everything on the through - the - windsheild POV video to give you something resembling a real - life video game.

Usually it's pretty hideous as it can make the car feel as if it responds differently every time you turn the wheel, but the engineers claim this system is radically improved and offers more control and agility and requires less steering angle for any given corner.

The new Ford Escape's intelligent all - wheel - drive system gathers data from 25 external signals — including wheel speed, accelerator pedal position and steering wheel angle — to improve driving performance by readjusting the power split to give the driver a precise blend of handling and traction at all times.

That means everything from the ride hight to the spring rates, the (rear) steering angle, the steering feedback, the engine and gearbox response, the brakes and the all - wheel drive's multiple - direction torque vectoring will be set to give you maximum speed and the most comfort in any given situation.

This ratio increases sharply from a steering angle of five degrees so that the driver only has to move the steering wheel slightly when cornering: the CLC responds more spontaneously than with a constant - ratio steering set - up, giving the driver even better control of the vehicle.

Depending on the steering angle, lateral acceleration and vehicle speed, fast - acting piezo - electric valves on the air chambers in the backrests vary their pressure and volume to give the driver and front passenger even better lateral support.

It also acts on the front wheels with a variable pace, giving the car an unusually large and unpleasant «dead - zone» of steering angle right at the straight ahead, and then a tendency to dart towards an apex mid-corner that comes without a matching increase in required steering weight.

Maneuvering a vehicle on off - road, unpaved surfaces such as grass or gravel may require a larger steering input (larger wheel slip angle) to achieve a given vehicle response, and this can lead to a large increase in lateral acceleration once the vehicle returns to the paved surface.

Its frame geometry raised the steering head, stretched the fork tubes, and gave the Fury a radical aspect while actually using the same rake angle (32 degrees) as its forerunners, the Honda VTX series.
