Degree of Acceleration Monitor

Using
• Degree of Acceleration Monitor shows the rate of acceleration output to the ECU where 0 represents the pedal not being pressed in and 100 equals when the pedal is fully pressed down.
• Displays accelerator opening in units of 1% from 5 to 100%. (When it is 100%, 00. is displayed.)
Displays the amount of pressure placed on the accelerator pedal.

WARNING
Improper use or disregard of these warnings may result in the injury or death of people.
When making initial settings make sure to stop the engine and place in Parking or Neutral. It is dangerous to carry out these settings while the engine is running.
Do not work in areas where there is exces­sive exhaust. Due to vehicle exhaust emission poisoning or fire may result in a damage to humans.
Do not crush the cable. Please be careful that the cable does not get crushed by the seat rail or car door steel plate, nor cut by any sharp steel plate as this may cause a poor connection or an electric short leading to fire or other danger.
While driving DO NOT operate switches or pay prolonged attention to the display; it is extremely dangerous.
Make sure that all wiring and fastening down of the product does not interfere with driving nor be done in such a way as to cause poor connections.
