Radiator icon light is a double sensor, as is the windscreen squirt
alert. The windscreen squirt lamp is also adjustable. They are used when
comparing handling setups, if you are going round corners fast enough
one or both of these can be encouraged to come on. By adjusting the
squirt level you can get a qualitive assesment of adjustments as scary
fast and scary fast might be different lateral G levels but appear
identical.
