imagine the curvy parts represent the torque applied to the wheels...the left curves are split into two upper and lower parts...same for the right...the upper parts on both sides represent the left and right front wheels...the lower parts represent the left and right rear wheels...the middle straight bar represents the strength of how much the s-awc has had to kick into to compensate for the extreme turn you are making...so horizontal bars appear inthe middle column depending on the sharpness of the turnand the speed you are taking that turn on.

Now...the curves on the side...if you are taking a really sharp left turn...the front right wheel curve and the left rear wheel curve will start to show bars...the means that s-awc is acting upon those wheels either shifting more torque to those wheels...or slowing a wheel down or whatever to compensate for the turn...if you turn right...the same thing happens only on the other adjacent wheels.......

whew...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

the curvy bars don't necessarily represent the wheels. they just fill up in a way that shows the "yaw" from the AYC working on the car. the center bar is the ACD bar that fills up as the ACD is working. easy to under stand if you see it in action.

i have found when you hit the brakes, accelerate and hit bumps. the center part reacts. like when i was flying on a somewhat bumpy road the center bars rose. as i went over the bumps kinda like when the suspension was under no pressure they rose up.
