The Extreme Braking Threshold box in the Set Braking Thresholds dialog box is the higher of two
braking thresholds in the CarChip software.
The default extreme braking threshold for each standard measurement system is:
• 0.50 G - For U.S. measurement system.
• 0.50 G - For Metric measurement system.
• 4.9 m/s 2 - For S.I. measurement system.

Set Acceleration Thresholds
Use the Set Accelerations Thresholds dialog box to enter the rates of acceleration that define hard
acceleration and extreme acceleration. These thresholds help you monitor how hard the vehicle is being
accelerated. Any time the car's acceleration exceeds these set limits, the event is logged in the Trip
Report.
To set acceleration thresholds:
1. Select Set Acceleration Thresholds... from the CarChip menu. The CarChip / Set Acceleration
Thresholds dialog box displays.
2. Enter your desired hard and extreme acceleration thresholds or click Default to use the software
default threshold settings. The Default acceleration thresholds are: 0.30 and 0.45 G (US & Metric)
and 2.9 and 4.4 m/s
2 (S.I.).
3. Click OK to save the new settings. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box and retain the previous
settings.
Note: The extreme acceleration threshold is also the threshold that triggers the audible alarm on the
CarChip Pro, CarChip Fleet Pro, CarChip E/X with Alarm, and CarChip Fleet with Alarm models. When this
acceleration threshold is exceeded in a vehicle, the alarm sounds five times. See Enable CarChip Alarm for
more information on using the CarChip Alarm feature.
