Dodge Charger: PERFORMANCE PAGES / Dynamometer (Dyno)

The system will start drawing graphs for Power and Torque (top chart) and Engine
Speed (bottom chart). The graph will fill to the right side of the page (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 over.
- Press the + or – buttons to change the history of the graph. The selectable
options are “30”, “60”, “90”, or “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 and
off for automatic transmission vehicles only.
NOTE:
The Gear On/Off feature will only display if your vehicle is equipped with an
Automatic Trans- mission.
When selected, this screen displays the following values:
Vehicle SpeedShows the actual vehicle speed.
Engine PowerShows the instantaneous power...

Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slippery surfaces may cause
the driving wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs
when there is a difference in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels...
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they
wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as those on all season
type tires...
