begins. For the ¼ mile test, you will be asked to press a key when ready. It will
then cycle through a starting light sequence (Christmas tree) and tell you when to
go. As you drive, the screen should be displaying your current speed. When the
test is complete (the desired distance or speed is reached), the test will
automatically stop and your time will be displayed on the screen as follows
(quarter mile result example):
This will show how long it took you to cover 60 feet, 1/8 mile, and ¼ mile. In
addition, your MPH at ¼ mile will also be shown (see the example above). The
best run is stored for later viewing. You may also use the back of this manual to
write down your times.
At the end of a ¼ mile run, you will see a reaction time at the top of the screen.
This time begins when the final yellow light is displayed. The time between the
final yellow and the green is a ½ second, so a perfect reaction time is a ½ second.
The average person will see a response time of around 1 second. You’ll get an
“Illegal Start” message if you start before the green and you’re screen will turn
red. You can still finish the run, but the screen will let you know that you started
before the green light.
