To ensure the best functioning of the SAS, take your vehicle to an Authorised Service
Centre for maintenance operations, at the intervals indicated in the scheduled main-
tenance table.
This system requires a filter « A ».
The filter sponge should be cleaned with water and mild soap, then it should be dried
with a cloth and slight blows of compressed air.

Cooling fluid level (03_15, 03_16)
The engine cooling takes place through a forced fluid circulation system. The cooling
circuit contains around 0.70 lt of cooling fluid consisting of a mixture of 50% de-ionised
water and ethylene glycol and corrosion inhibitors based antifreeze solution.
The system is equipped with a warning light « B » a coolant temperature indicator.
Under normal running conditions, the digital instrument indicator must not exceed the
5th/6th segment.
When warning light « B » lights up, the icon and the bars start flashing; if this is the
case, stop the engine and let it cool off; then check the fluid level. If the fluid level is
correct, contact an
Authorised Piaggio Service Centre to find the fault that caused
the system to fail.
The fluid level check must be carried out when the engine is cold, first after the first
1000 km and every 5000 km thereafter following this procedure:
a) Put the vehicle in vertical position on its centre stand.
b) Remove the expansion tank cap « A » by turning it anticlockwise.
The fluid level can be visually checked once the front shield central cover has been
removed. If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to
be carried out when the
engine is cold .
If it is necessary to top up the cooling fluid frequently, or if the expansion tank is com-
pletely dry, you should look for a leak in the cooling system. It is therefore absolutely
necessary to have the cooling system checked at an
Authorised Service Centre .
