Activating the ignition curve for low-octane fuel
If you are traveling to a country where fuel having at least 95 octane (ROZ)
is not available, you can easily activate the corresponding ignition curve.
A plug and socket connection [1] on a brown/black cable is located near the
upper shock absorber holder .
If the two connectors are connected to each other, the ignition curve for fuel
having at least 95 octane (ROZ) is activated.
If you disconnect the plug and socket connection, the ignition curve for fuel
having 80 - 94 octane (ROZ) is activated. Although this causes the engine to
lose some of its power output, it prevents poor glow ignitions and engine
damage.
IF FUEL HAVING AT LEAST 95 OCTANE (ROZ) IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE IGNITION
CURVE FOR 80 - 94 OCTANE (ROZ) MUST BE ACTIVATED TO PREVENT ENGINE
DAMAGE.
