A320 PWS Auto

I did some research on the PWS on our A320 fleet. The PWS operates below a certain Altitude with the weather radar turned on. In addition I found out that the PWS operates when the switch is in the AUTO position if the following conditions are fullfilled, even with the weather radar switched off:

-one engine running
-Ground Speed above 30kt or longitudinal acceleration above a given threshold during at least 0.5s.

Does anybody know the threshold of the longitudinal acceleration? I have been wondering if the PWS would turn on during Taxi In or Taxi Out with a switched off weather radar.
