((V VS SS S))
This vehicle is equipped with a Ve-
hicle Stability System (VSS).
This system helps to keeping the con-
trol of the direction and reduce the risk
of tipping or rolling over in some
situations.
The VSS is composed of:
–
An A An nttii--llo occkk B Brra akkiin ng g S Syysstte em m
((A AB BS S)) that helps maintain steering
control during an emergency brak-
ing situation by keeping the brakes
from locking.
– An E Elle eccttrro on niicc B Brra akke e D Diissttrriib bu uttiio on n
((E EB BD D)) system that automatically
adjusts the brake balance between
all three wheels. With the ABS,
EBD helps maintain directional
control and maximize the braking
force depending on the traction
available.
– A T Trra accttiio on n C Co on nttrro oll S Syysstte em m
((T TC CS S)) that helps prevent the rear
wheel from slipping. The TCS will
limit rear wheel spin only if you turn
the handlebar (steer out of straight
line) or if traction conditions or ve-
hicle stability require engine torque
to be reduced. The system allows
more slipping when SPORT or
RALLY modes are selected.
– A S Stta ab biilliittyy C Co on nttrro oll S Syysstte em m
((S SC CS S)) is designed to limit the
power driving the rear tire and to
brake individual wheels, which re-
duces the risk of losing control of
the vehicle or rolling over.

VSS cannot help you maintain control
in all situations.
S Su urrffa acce ess w wiitth h P Po oo orr T Trra accttiio on n
The grip of tires on the road surface
limits the maximum braking. Even with
ABS and EBD, your stopping distance
will be longer on surfaces with poor
traction,
if you do not maintain
recommended tire pressure or if tire
tread condition is degraded.
If your tires lose traction with the road
surface you may lose control of the
vehicle, even with VSS.
If the paved road surface is covered or
partially covered with ice, snow or
slush, there is not enough traction
available to maintain control of the ve-
hicle, even with VSS. Do not operate
on snow, ice or slush.
N NO OT TE E::
The grip of the vehicle tires starts to
decrease below 5 °C (41 °F).
Like other on-road vehicles, this ve-
hicle can hydroplane on water (lose
traction on a layer of water). If you ride
too fast into a layer of water, such as a
large puddle or flowing water on the
road, the vehicle can lose traction and
spin out, and the VSS cannot keep
you in control. Avoid large water pud-
dles or water streams, and slow down
or pull off the road during heavy rains.
If you must pass through water, slow
down as much as possible before you
reach it.

Reduce speed on surfaces with poor
traction, like mud, sand, gravel or wet
pavement. This vehicle is not for off--
road operation. Always operate the
vehicle on maintained roadways. Do
not use the vehicle on any other
terrain.

This model is specially designed to be
used on multiples rolling surfaces.
Even if it can used on surfaces with re-
duced traction, IT IS NOT AN OFF--
ROAD VEHICLES.
Be aware when driving on slippery
surfaces that the vehicle systems can-
not compensate for all dangerous
