The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when the starter key is removed. Upon start-up, the PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER system checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the immobilizer system allow the scooter to be started.
Keys (01_16, 01_17, 01_18)

01_16 Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MASTER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For this reason it is advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances. The black key "B" (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations such as: - engine start up - open the rear glove-box and the saddle (with remote control)

WARNING
1 Vehicle
LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT. WARNING
01_18 KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).
Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_19)

Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing A indicator. In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning. Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will provide the Authorised Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected. 01_19
Operation
Every time the starter key is removed in the "OFF" or "LOCK" position, the safety system activates the immobilizer system. Turning the key to "ON" disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code transmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the key first to "OFF" and then to "ON"; if the lock cannot be disabled, try with the other key supplied (red-coloured). If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Service Centre, which is provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system. When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 7 keys max.) must be done on all keys, both new and existing ones. Take the red-handgrip key and all the black keys supplied to an Authorised Service Centre.
19
The codes of keys not submitted for the new storage procedure are deleted from the memory. Any lost keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine. WARNING
EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED BY THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT. VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE KEY. IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY (AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Saddle opening remote control (01_20, 01_21)

The scooter is fitted with a remote control to open the saddle. This remote control is supplied together with the keys and it has been programmed to control the opening device control unit at the manufacturing stage. If the remote control is lost, a new one can be requested and programmed at any Authorised Service Centre. The remote control is powered by inner batteries that get discharged after extended used; If the green LED turns on when the button is pressed, the remote control is working properly. You may need to replace the batteries if the remote control fails or if its range of operation is reduced. To separate the two halves of the remote control, insert the blade of a plain slot screwdriver at one point on the edge and slide it all around. When the remote control is open, remove the two batteries from the contact terminal. Install the two new CR1616 3V batteries with the positive pole facing the contact terminal. Reassemble the remote control by pressing the two clip-on halves gently with your fingers. To open the saddle without the remote control, follow the procedure described in the Emergency Saddle Opening section.

Starting up the engine (02_06, 02_07, 02_08)

The vehicle is supplied with an ignition cut-off system, activated by the emergency cut-off switch. The engine cannot be started if the ignition cut-off switch is in the OFF position A running engine automatically switches off when the ignition cut-off switch is set to OFF. The vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with direct drive, so that starting is effected by turning the throttle grip to idle speed; to start-off from still, progressively twist the throttle grip. The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuel pump that switches on automatically as soon as the engine is started. The vehicle has a front suspension locking system; a sensor placed under the saddle will prevent the vehicle riding, but not its starting-up, if the rider is not seated in riding position. To start-up the engine: 1. Rest the vehicle on its centre-stand, ensuring the rear wheel is not touching the ground. 2. Maintain the throttle "C" completely untwisted. 3. Insert the key into the ignition switch A and turn it onto the ON position. 02_07 4. Make sure that the "I" switch is set onto the ON position. 5.

Automatic transmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads and uphill. If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the clutch masses against the capstan. Besides, avoid accelerating with the hand brake engaged. It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (besides those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%. Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats: 1. Do not continue riding in such conditions. 2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
2 Use
Safe driving
Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily basis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of safe riding. We recommend practising riding in traffic-free zones, in order to acquire a good knowledge of your vehicle. 1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly. 2.Reduce speed on rough roads and drive with care. 3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be poor at the beginning. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes from time to time. 4. Avoid setting off by mounting the vehicle while it is resting on the support.

Front suspension locking system (02_11, 02_12, 02_13, 02_14, 02_15, 02_16, 02_17)
The front suspension locking system simply prevents vehicle tilting when the T switch is pressed. The vehicle can be stopped without your feet touching the ground. The warning light E starts flashing when the key switch is set to ON. This means that the system is enabled for locking activation. When the T switch is turned to 1 a continuous sound alarm signals that the locking system is engaged and, at the same time, the warning light E turns on steadily. When the T switch is turned to 2 an intermittent sound alarm signals that the locking system is disengaged and, at the same time, the warning light E starts flashing again. Warning light E turns off when riding starts. This means that the system allows for vehicle tilting. Engaging tilt locking is possible only if the following conditions occur at the same time: Throttle completely untwisted Engine rpm below 2500rpm Vehicle speed below 10 km/h 39

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, main bearings and thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine itself. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average consumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The vehicle is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel. 03_01
Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX and MIN reference marks on the dipstick A; during the oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontal surface. If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level. 03_02
Engine oil top-up

Always check the oil level before carrying out top ups and add oil without exceeding the MAX level. Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX levels requires ~ 400 cm of oil. An oil check-up and top-up should be carried out at any Authorised Service Centre, as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.
3 Maintenance
Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)

03_03 The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to the ON. However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is 46
necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having toppedup the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre.
3 Maintenance
Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04, 03_05)

The oil and the filter must be changed as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil via the drainage tap B of the mesh filter on the transmission side. In order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick A. Unscrew and remove the oil cartridge filter. Install a new oil filter taking care to lubricate the sealing O-rings with engine oil. Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, add approximately 1500 cm of oil through cap A. Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top-up without exceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and oil changes, use new oil of the recommended type. CAUTION
03_04
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADEQUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE. 03_05 TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. CAUTION
USED OILS CONTAIN SUBSTANCES HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR OIL REPLACEMENT, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE, WHICH IS EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND LEGAL WAY. 47

Cooling fluid level (03_12, 03_13, 03_14, 03_15)

The engine cooling system operates by forcing circulation of fluid. The cooling circuit contains about 2 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% de-ionised water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. Recommended coolant: supplied with the vehicle, already mixed and ready for use. For proper functioning of the engine, the coolant temperature must be between the 4th and 7th lit segment, as indicated by the instrument D on the digital instrument panel. When the 9th segment lights up, the icon and all the segments start flashing; stop the engine, let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the level is OK, contact an Authorised Service Centre. 03_12 Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. a) Rest the vehicle in vertical position on the stand and remove the screw of the expansion tank cap shown in the photo b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction.
53
c) Look inside the expansion tank; the fluid level must always be between the min and the max level d) If the coolant level is near the minimum mark, top up when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore essential to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Service Centre. Replace coolant as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre for this operation. N.B. 03_13 SHOULD THE 9th SEGMENT OF THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR COME ON DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND LET IT COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS OK, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. WARNING
