Note
The low oil pressure warning light will 

illuminate if the ignition is switched ON 

without running the engine.

Immobiliser/Alarm Indicator Light

This Triumph motorcycle is fitted with 

an engine immobiliser which is activated 

when the ignition switch is turned to 

the OFF position.

Without Alarm Fitted

When the ignition switch is turned to 

the OFF position, the immobiliser light 

will flash on and off for 24 hours to 

show that the engine immobiliser is on. 

When the ignition switch is turned to 

the ON position the immobiliser and the 

indicator light will be off.
If the indicator light remains on it 

indicates that the immobiliser has a 

malfunction that requires investigation. 

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer 

as soon as possible to have the fault 

checked and rectified.

With Alarm Fitted

The immobiliser/alarm light will 

only illuminate when the conditions 

described in the genuine Triumph 

accessory alarm instructions are met.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 

Warning Light

When the ignition switch is 

turned to the ON position, it is 

normal that the ABS warning 

light will flash on and off. The 

light will continue to flash after engine 

start-up until the motorcycle first 

reaches a speed exceeding 6 

mph 

(10 km/h) when it will go off.

Note
Traction control will not function if 

there is a malfunction with the ABS. 

The warning lights for the ABS, traction 

control and the MIL will be illuminated.

The warning light will not illuminate 

again until the engine is restarted 

unless there is a fault.
If there is a fault with the ABS system 

the warning light will be illuminated and 

the general warning symbol will flash.

 Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake 

system will continue to function as a 

non-ABS braking system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than 

is necessary with the indicator light 

illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer 

as soon as possible to have the fault 

checked and rectified. In this situation 

braking too hard will cause the wheels 

to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle 

control and an accident.

Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light

The Traction Control (TC) 

indicator light is used to 

indicate that the traction 

control system is active and is 

working to limit rear wheel slip during 

periods of hard acceleration or under 

wet or slippery road conditions.
