There is an accelerometer inside the joysticks and when it vibrates, it sends a signal to the
wheelchair to slow down to a predefined parameter.

DESCRIPTION
Lowers forward/backward (Y) dri-
ving speed on rough terrain.
Wheelchair type and weight have
an impact on this factor:
• Heavy loaded wheelchairs may
need to lower the setting to
'Weak'.
• Light wheelchairs may need to
increase the setting to 'Strong'.
• If the joystick is mounted on
a location that may multiply
the value of a shock (e.g. on
an arm), the setting should
be lowered to 'Weak' or 'Very
weak'.
• Frontwheel-driven wheelchairs
are less affected by this
factor than rearwheel-driven
wheelchairs.
To limit the steering reaction if
the wheelchair overreacts on
steering commands. This may
happen due to compensation
on the X direction that prevents
the wheelchair to overcome
an obstacle due to the loss of
torque. The value is based on the
compensation in Y direction.
