Spinout Detection System

The spin out detection feature activates the hazard indicator to alert other vehicles approaching the vehicle following a spin out, potentially reducing the risk of collision, especially in low visibility weather conditions. A spin out is defined as a slip angle greater than 40 degrees followed by 5 seconds of vehicle at rest.

When a spin out is detected, the system activates the hazard indicator and the IPC displays a message to inform the driver that the hazards have been turned on. The IPC receives the vehicle dynamics SOS message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the vehicle dynamics SOS message from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.
