Keys (01_16, 01_17, 01_18)

Two types of keys are supplied together with the vehicle. Key «

A

» is the «

MASTER

»

key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program the
codes for all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance oper-
ations. We therefore recommend that it be used only under exceptional circumstan-
ces.

Key «

B

» (single copy supplied) is used for regular operations such as:

- start-up

- unlocking the fuel tank cover

Together with the two keys, you will be given a 

CODE CARD

 bearing the mechanical

code of the keys.

WARNING

LOOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE 'PIAGGIO IMMO-
BILIZER' SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING

KEEP THE 'CODE CARD' AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT
ON YOUR VEHICLE).
