Radar experience
As discussed above, the radar lane can be placed on either side of the computer's display. Vehicles will appear at the bottom of the screen as they are sensed and proceed upward toward the top of the display, indicating their approach to the rider. As the vehicle appears on screen, the rider will be alerted by a change of radar lane color from green to orange or red, depending on the speed with which the vehicle is approaching. Additionally, the status bar at the top of the computer will also flash the same color as the radar lane and the
If the taillight is on, a small yellow light icon will appear at the top of the radar lane. If it is off, the icon is absent.
