Section Control Alerting warns you of Section Control checks (a.k.a. SPECS or ‘automated VASCAR’) and guides you through them. These
checks use cameras above the road to record your car at point A, regardless of your speed. This is repeated at the end of the route at point
B. The central system therefore knows how long it took you to drive from A to B and will automatically calculate your average speed. Your
Card takes you through Section Control locations with the help of easy to understand alerts. You will always be aware of when a route
begins, what the approximate remaining length of the route is and if your average speed is within the legal limit.
Be careful: many Section Control checks now also measure your average speed over sub-sections of a route. To offer full information
your Stinger will treat each sub-section as an individual Section Control location.
SPECS Alert
About ten seconds before entering a Section Control
location, your Card wil play a single beep and the
very fi rst and last of the (red) Level LEDs will light
up, indicating you are approaching the location. At
the start of the Section Control location a double
beep is played, fi nally followed by a triple beep after
you have exited the Section Control location. During
the entire Section Control the A B LED will fl ash.
With the help of the (red) Level LEDs you can
visually monitor your relative position within
the Section Control.
A repetitive alarm will sound at any moment
that your average speed exceeds the speed
limit for that Section Control location.
