Waking Up the Electrical System
Press the engine START/STOP button
once without installing the tether cord
on the engine cut-off switch.
This will power up the electrical sys-
tem; the multifunction gauge will cycle
through a self-test function and will
then go blank after a few seconds.
The electrical system will stay pow-
ered up for approximately 3 minutes
after the engine START/STOP button
was depressed.
NOTE: If the engine START/STOP but-
ton is pressed and held without the
tether cord installed, the multifunc-
tion gauge displays will stay on as long
as the engine START/STOP button is
held.
