Locking system WARNING light «Q » off (the system has not detected fail-
ures)

If one of these conditions is not checked, the warning light «E » remains off and locking
cannot be engaged (in normal riding conditions, the warning light «E» is off).

With engine on, system locked and warning light «E» on, the suspension locking sys-
tem is disengaged automatically and the warning light «E » turns off when the throttle
is twisted to start the ride.

For riders' safety, the vehicle has a rider detection sensor in the saddle which ena-
bles the system to prevent vehicle motion and suspension unlocking (in case of locked
suspension) when the rider is not properly seated in riding position: in such case, the
WARNING light «Q» turns on steadily

CAUTION

THE RIDER DETECTION SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT PART OF THE
SADDLE. AVOID PLACING BAGS OR HEAVY OBJECTS ACCIDENTALLY ON
THE SADDLE.

NOT OBSERVING THIS RULE MAY MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND RE-
LEASE THE SUSPENSION LOCKING SYSTEM EVEN IF THE RIDER IS NOT
SEATED, BY SIMPLY TWISTING THE THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE COULD FALL
ACCIDENTALLY AS A CONSEQUENCE.

WARNING

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MAKE SURE THE FRONT SUSPEN-
SION LOCKING SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. OTHERWISE, PLACE YOUR FEET ON
THE GROUND TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UPRIGHT.
