2 Exterior Geometry Verification Vehicle #3921 Chevrolet Equinox (2CNALBEW8A6XXXXXX) The color map below is a comparison of the measured data, using a laser scanner versus the HVE model geometry. This is a quality check that we perform to assure that the HVE model accurately represents the vehicle measured. (Comparison performed using Polyworks V12) [inch] 2 of 22

The sprung weight illustrated will differ from the sprung weight in HVE. In HVE the program only subtracts the wheel weight and axle weight(if solid axle) from the total weight to calculate sprung weight. We use vibration testing to estimate the total unsprung weight. This results in the sprung weight in HVE being larger than ours. E Sprung inertia is the input when building an HVE vehicle. The total inertia presented in our datasheet will differ a small amount from the value you see in HVE. When HVE calculates total inertia, it utilizes the sprung weight CGz it had calculated which per note A,B differs a small amount from sprung weight CGz in our datasheet 3 of 22

8 Suspension - Wheel Center Rate Measurement Wheel Center Rate is the vertical force per unit vertical displacement at the location along the spindle corresponding to the wheel centerline, measured relative to the chassis (Milliken, W.F. and Milliken, D.L. "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" S.A.E p 581) Wheel Center Rate that we utilize in the vehicle model is the average of the left and right side wheel positions for the front and rear. Ride Rate (Wheel Center Rate): Wheel Center Rate(Total): Wheel Center Rate (Rebound): Wheel Center Rate (Jounce): Left Front 23.8 lb/in lb/in 33.1 lb/in lb/in Right Front Left Rear 23.8 lb/in lb/in lb/in lb/in 32.2 lb/in 18.9 lb/in lb/in lb/in Right Rear lb/in lb/in lb/in lb/in Maximum Rebound (3.1 in) 3 Front Wheel Center Rate Maximum Jounce (7.6 in) 25 2 Force (lb) LF Spring RF Spring Ride Height Suspension Displacement (in) Force (lb) Maximum Rebound (3.8 in) Rear Wheel Center Rate Maximum Jounce (2.8 in) LR Spring RR Spring Ride Height Suspension Displacement (in) 8 of 22

9 Suspension - Auxiliary Roll Stiffness Measurement Auxiliary Roll Stiffness is the roll rate contribution by the anti-roll bar (sway bar). If the auxiliary roll stiffness is measured then the value used in the vehicle model is an average of the test values for the front and rear. If no anti-roll bar is present, auxiliary roll stiffness is assumed to be. If the auxiliary roll stiffness was not measured then it is calculated by measuring the geometry and calculating the installation ratio. This is the same procedure and formula as used by EDC Auxiliary Roll Stiffness: Front in-lb/deg Rear 75.2 in-lb/deg Sway Bar Diameter: r1: 14. in 21. in r2: 4.5 in 6. in r3: 9.5 in 6.3 in r4: 9.5 in 15. in L: t: 24. in 62.5 in 26. in 61.8 in Aux Roll Front Rear 16 Roll Stiffness (ls/rad) Test Number 9 of 22

10 Suspension - Damping Rate Calculation HVE uses a damping rate at the wheel. To estimate the damping rate at the wheel we first calculate the critical damping rate for the wheel. We then estimate the damping coefficient using a constant displacement vibration tester. The damping rate we use is calculated by multiplying the critical damping rate times the damping coefficient Left Front Right Front Left Rear Right Rear Damping at wheel (for HVE) lb-s/in lb-s/in 4.53 lb-s/in 4.53 lb-s/in Damping at Individual Wheel: lb-s/in lb-s/in lb-s/in lb-s/in Tire Rate: lb/in lb/in lb/in lb/in Wheel Hop Frequency: 15.8 Hz 15.6 Hz 15.7 Hz 15.8 Hz Wheel (Tire and Rim) Mass: 46.9 lb 46.9 lb 46.9 lb 46.9 lb Unsprung Mass: lb lb lb 16.1 lb Sprung Mass: lb 965. lb lb 7.4 lb Damping Coefficient: Critical Damping Rate: lb-s/in lb-s/in lb-s/in lb-s/in Adhesion (%) Adhesion ƒ hop Frequency (Hz) LF Test 1 LF Test 2 LF Test 3 Hop Calculation Procedure: Unsprung Mass (m u ) Critical Damping Rate (C cr ) = 2 * Sqrt[ ((k t +k s )*(m t ))] = (k t +k s ) (2*π*f hop ) Phase LF Test 1 LF Test 2 LF Test 3 Hop Phase (rad) Damping Coefficient (ζ) = 1 (2*π*f hop ) * θ Δω ω(rad/s) Damping at Wheel = ζ * C cr Note: Data for Left Front Wheel is shown only F - Our damping rates will be lower than a similar vehicle's damping rate calculated by EDC since vehicles produced by EDC assume the vehicle is critically damped. 1 of 22

11 Suspension - Change in Half-Track vs. Jounce/Rebound Vehicle #3921 Chevrolet Equinox (2CNALBEW8A6XXXXXX) As the suspension moves through the jounce and rebound phase, the wheels could move inboard or outboard relative to the chassis. This results in a change in the track width. HVE uses half of the track width (half-track) to define this motion. Front Track Width: 62.5 in Rear Track Width: 61.8 in Front Half-Track Width: Rear Half-Track Width: 31.3 in 3.9 in Maximum Jounce (-7.6 in) 1 Front Change in Half-Track Width vs Jounce/Rebound Maximum Rebound (3.1 in).5 Change in Half-Track (in) Suspension Displacement (in) Maximum Jounce (-2.8 in) 1 Rear Change in Half-Track Width vs Jounce/Rebound Maximum Rebound (3.8 in).5 Change in Half-Track (in) Suspension Displacement (in) 11 of 22

12 Suspension - Camber vs. Jounce/Rebound As the suspension moves through the jounce and rebound phase, the individual wheel cambers can change. HVE uses a camber versus jounce and rebound to define this motion for each individual wheel.

15 Suspension - Roll Steer Coefficients As the suspension moves through the jounce and rebound phase, the steer axle toe angle can change. Roll Steer is a measurement of the change in toe angle which produces a tendency to steer the vehicle as the suspension compresses. Solid Axles have a default Roll Steer value of deg.
