PIAGGIO MP3 250 i.e., User Manual

Page: 47 / 100

With the vehicle off and the suspension locking system engaged, it is possible to get
off the scooter without using the stand. For safety reasons, it is recommended to press
the hand brake lever shown in the figure, moving it form
"0" to "1".
Warning light "R" on the instrument panel turns on when the hand brake is engaged.
When the hand brake is engaged and the key switch is turned to "1" , the safety system
that prevents the hand brake from getting released is activated. To release the hand
brake, turn the key switch to
"2" or "3" . If the switch is set to "1" , the hand brake can
also be engaged.
If the WARNING light "Q " turns on (flashes), it means that there is a failure in the front
suspension locking system. Therefore, it is necessary to take your vehicle to a Piaggio
Service Center. If the front suspension is locked, it can be unlocked by quickly oper-
ating the "T " switch twice to the unlocking position "2". Once the suspension is
unlocked, the vehicle can be normally used, except for the locking system which will
be disengaged.
For some cases of failure, the vehicle speed is auto-limited to 30 Km/h. This automatic
procedure is activated to enhance safety until the failure is eliminated.
Always contact a Piaggio Service Center
If the continuous sound alarm is activated when the WARNING light "Q" turns on
(steadily), try unlocking the system by operating the "T" switch twice to the unlocking
position "2". If it cannot be unlocked, take your vehicle to a Piaggio Service Cen-
ter at once.
