Once the desired heat level is selected, do not further
press button (5); after 3 seconds the instrument panel
will automatically quit this function and the last
condition will be stored.
Note
Heated grips are actually enabled, namely
produce heat, only with the engine running and above
2,000 RPM.
If, for example, heated grips are enabled and then
engine is turned off, they will be temporarily disabled.
They will be automatically re-enabled once engine is
started again.
Grip heating requires a high current draw which
could run the battery flat at low rpm.
If battery charge is not enough (voltage below 11.0
Volt) grip heating will be disabled to ensure vehicle
starting; it will be automatically re-enabled as soon as
battery voltage is above the indicated value.
Attention
If heated grips are used at ambient
temperatures above +60° ÷ +70° F (15° ÷ 20° C), heat
will be automatically reduced (based on outer
temperature) to protect grips against any damage due
to overheating.
