Vehicle Hold Control (VHC)
The Multistrada 950 ABS is provided with the Vehicle
Hold Control (VHC). This system, when activated,
keeps the vehicle at a standstill by quickly activating
the rear brake with no need to apply braking power
to the brake lever or pedal. The system allows the
user to enjoy a more comfortable restart while just
having to control the clutch and throttle pressure.
This function is activated when the user, with a bike
at a standstill and with folded side stand, applies a
high pressure on the front or rear brake levers. It can
be activated when vehicle is turned on (Key-ON).
Upon its activation, according to the vehicle status,
the system calculates and applies a pressure to the
rear system by acting on the pump and the ABS
control unit valves.
The system can be activated at all ABS levels
(including ABS OFF) and its activation is indicated by
the following warning light turning on. The same
warning light will start blinking when the system is
about to release the rear brake pressure and thus to
stop keeping the vehicle at standstill: pressure will
be decreased gradually.
This function is disabled under the following
conditions:
1) when the user starts;
2) when the user operates the front brake lever
twice in a very short time;
3) 9 seconds after the activation;
4) when the user unfolds the stand.
Attention
The system can not be compared with a parking
brake: during its activation we recommend keeping
your hands on the handlebar in order to take control
of the vehicle as soon as the system is disabled.
