The instrument panel backlighting is activated on only when
the parking lights or low/high beam headlight are on.
The instrument panel has sensors that measure ambient
temperature and light intensity, and automatically turns the
backlighting on or off accordingly.
Intelligent headlight switch-off
This function helps reduce battery use by automatically
switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in 3 cases:
-
in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and
do not start the engine within 60 seconds, the headlight
is turned off and will be turned on again only when the
engine is next switched on.
- in the second case, after the normal use of the
motorcycle with the lights on, if the engine is stopped
using the
RUN - STOP on the right-hand handlebar switch.
In this case, the headlamp is switched off 60 seconds
after the engine is switched off, and only switched on
again the next time the engine is started.
- in the third case, the headlight is switched off while the
engine is being started and switched back on again when
the engine is running.
Intelligent headlamp switch-on
This function allows programmed activation of the headlight
even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off).
Immediately after key-off, the instrument panel remains active
for 60 seconds, thus allowing the headlight to be switched on
if the button (1, fig. 8) is switched to position B “
▼
”.
During these 60 seconds, each time the button (1, fig. 8) is
pressed in position B “
▼
”, the instrument panel will activate
the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of button (1, fig. 8)
in position B “
▼
” will add to the headlight activation time,
up to a maximum of 6 presses (equivalent to a maximum
activation time of 180 seconds).
The first time you press the button (1, fig. 8) in position B
“
▼
”, the 30 second period starts, thus switching on the
headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you
press the button again within these 30 seconds. If the
30 second period has elapsed, no further multiples of
30 seconds can be added, and the instrument panel will
switch off the headlight.
To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/
Key-Off.
If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this
function is active, when power is restored, the instrument
panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel
does not remain active for 60 seconds).
