So the ACE disconnects when it detects that it's off road does it?
According to the ACE Description and Operation section in RAVE:
andThe ACE system can also detect if the vehicle is driven off-road. If off-road conditions are detected the ACE system
operation will be reduced or completely disabled at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
Off-road driving
Off-road detection is achieved by the ECU by monitoring the signals from the upper and lower accelerometers for
varying degrees of body movement. Off-road driving generates differing signals to the accelerometers which in turn
produce differing outputs due to their vertical separation and the location of the roll centre of the vehicle. The two
signals are passed through a filter to remove any offset caused by the vehicle leaning or the terrain. The ECU then
uses this signal to calculate the percentage of road roughness.
Below 25 mph (40 km/h) the percentage of road roughness calculated is used by the ECU to limit the operation of the
ACE system. The system is completely inoperative at speeds below 2 mph (3 km/h). At speeds above 25 mph (40
km/h) the system disables the percentage road roughness signal and full ACE system assistance is restored.

So that tool that's now on 5th gear started on top gear?
As for your hands falling off the wheel, I at least habve opposable thumbs. And hitting the horn when turning corners? Give it a month and the buttons will break off anyway, problem solved.
Never liked him anyway.
He is spot on for 10 years agofrom what I have experienced with 9 Landies.
10 years on, and he is still right.
hamster?

That Tool is Toff Needell, former F1 driver, 14 Le mans drives, need I go on.
He was on original Top gear, Clarkson ****ed off to do other work and ratings fell and when an offer came to go to channel 5, he and the whole old Top Gear crew started 5th Gear.
He is a better driver than the whole Top Gear crew put together. The stig not included.
If he says the cars steering feels vague or his hands keep knocking the horns button or the turbo has excessive lag than that is how it is.
He is an absolute legend.![]()
A good driver Toff maybe but he still has the media savvy of a drunk badger and is exciting to watch as mold growing on cheese in the fridge...
Guess thats why he is still doing 5th Gear!
Can u do better? If so, great and look forward to seeing you on the next show
Just because he is different and a gentleman, does not make him boring.
Just look at the Ozzie version of Top Gear!! Not a award winning show me thinks.![]()
