The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when

the starter key is removed. Upon start-up, the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the immobilizer system allow the scooter to be started.

Keys (01_16, 01_17, 01_18)

01_16

01_17

Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MASTER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program all your other

keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For this reason it is advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances.

The black key "B" (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations such as:

- engine start up

- open the rear glove-box and the saddle (with remote control) Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same code

imprinted onto the two keys.

Page 19

WARNING

LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING

01_18

KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).

01_19

Page 20

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_19)

Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing «A» indicator. In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning. Should the signal led system break down in its flashing function, give information about the type of problem to an Authorised Piaggio-

Gilera Service Centre.

Operation

Every time the starter key is removed in the "OFF" or "LOCK" position, the safety system activates the immobilizer system. Turning the key to "ON" disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code transmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the key first to "OFF" and then to "ON"; if the lock cannot be disabled, try with the other key supplied (red-coloured). If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre, which is provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system.

When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 7 keys max.) must be done on all keys, both new ones and existing ones.

Take the red-handgrip key and all the black keys supplied to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

The codes of keys not submitted for the new storage procedure are deleted from the memory. Any lost keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED BY THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE KEY.

Page 21

1 Vehicle

IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY (AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Programming the immobilizer system

Below is described the procedure to follow for programming the PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER system and/or for storing other key codes. The programming procedure should be carried out with the engine stop switch set to «RUN».

Procedure start - red key

IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE VEHICLE, PLEASE COMPLY WITH THE RULES LISTED ABOVE.

02_05

Starting up the engine (02_05)

The vehicle is supplied with an ignition cut-off system, activated by the emergency cut-off switch. The engine cannot be started if the ignition cut-off switch is in the OFF position

Page 37

2 Use

A running engine automatically switches off when the ignition cut-off switch is set to OFF.

The scooter is equipped with automatic transmission with direct drive, so that starting is effected by turning the throttle grip to idle speed; to start-off from still, progressively twist the throttle grip. The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuel pump that switches on automatically as soon as the engine is started. To start the vehicle, before pressing the starter button «B», pull and keep pulled the front brake lever «D» or the rear brake lever «G» that operates the corresponding ignition consent switches. Besides, if the vehicle has a front suspension locking system, a sensor placed under the saddle will prevent vehicle motion, but not ignition, if the rider is not seated in riding position.

1. Rest the vehicle on its centre-stand, ensuring the rear wheel is not touching the ground.

2. Maintain the throttle "C" completely untwisted.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch "A" and turn it onto the ON position.

4. Make sure that the "I" switch is set onto the ON position.

5. Pull either the front, "D", or rear brake lever, "G", while pressing the starter button "B".

WARNING

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAKES THE REAR WHEEL TURN EVEN WHEN THE THROTTLE IS SLIGHTLY TWISTED. RELEASE THE BRAKE CAREFULLY AFTER STARTING, AND THEN ACCELERATE GRADUALLY.

CAUTION

DO NOT START-UP THE ENGINE IN CLOSED AREAS BECAUSE EXHAUST GASES ARE TOXIC.

Page 38

CAUTION

DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN REACH, ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN PARKING THE SCOOTER, THAT THE EXHAUST DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS.

CAUTION

DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. UNBURNED FUEL COULD ENTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND BURN, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY DESTROYING IT.

CAUTION

NEITHER PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON NOR TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO «ON» WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY SINCE THE START-UP SYSTEM MAY GET DAMAGED.

WARNING

NEVER TRY TO START-UP THE ENGINE WITH THE THROTTLE GRIP TWISTED. THIS MAY LEAD TO LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND TO ROLLOVER, WITH CONSEQUENT SERIOUS OR, IN SOME CASES, LETHAL INJURIES.

Page 39

Precautions

2 Use

CAUTION

NEVER STRESS THE ENGINE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE. BE CAREFUL NEVER TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SPEED WHILE RUNNING DOWNHILL, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE. IN ANY CASE, IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ENGINE FROM PROLONGED EXCESSIVE REVOLUTIONS, THE REVOLUTION LIMITER WILL BE ACTIVATED IF THE ENGINE SPEED EXCEEDS THE ESTABLISHED THRESHOLD.

WARNING

AFTER A LONG DISTANCE COVERED AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED, DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, BUT LET IT RUN AT IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

Difficult start up

In the rare case of flooding the engine, to facilitate start-up, it is possible to try to put the vehicle into action with the gas hand grip partially or completely open. It is however necessary, once the engine is started, to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre to determine the cause of this problem and to re-establish the vehicle proper functioning.

2 Use

Automatic transmission

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads and uphill.

If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake

to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the clutch masses against the capstan. Besides, avoid accelerating with the hand brake engaged. It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of

prolonged clutch slippage (besides those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%.

Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats:

1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

Safe driving

In the following we offer some simple advice, that will allow for the daily use of your scooter in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of a safe ride. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones, in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.

1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

2.Reduce speed on rough roads and drive with care.

3. After driving on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, the braking

effect is initially lower. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes from time to time.

4. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case, the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground, in order to avoid abrupt departures.

Page 42

5. If driving over roads affected by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. we recommend cleaning the brake disc with a non-corrosive detergent frequently in order to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early break pad wear.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

Front suspension locking system (02_08, 02_09, 02_10, 02_11, 02_12)

The following point corresponds only to versions with front suspension locking system.

The front suspension locking system simply prevents vehicle tilting when the "T" switch is pressed. The vehicle can be stopped without your feet touching the ground.

The warning light "E" starts flashing when the key switch is set to "ON". This means that the system is enabled for locking activation.

When the "T" switch is turned to "1", a continuous sound alarm signals that the locking system is engaged and, at the same time, the warning light "E" turns steadily on.

Page 45

2 Use

02_10

02_11

02_12

When the "T" switch is turned to "2", an intermittent sound alarm signals that the locking system is disengaged and, at the same time, the warning light "E" starts flashing again. Warning light "E" turns on to start riding. This means that the system allows for vehicle tilting.

Engaging tilt locking is possible only if the following conditions occur at the same time:

•

Throttle completely untwisted

•

Engine rpm below 2500rpm

•

Vehicle speed below 10 km/h

•

Locking system WARNING light "Q" off (the system has not detected failures)

If one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the warning light "E" remains off and locking cannot be engaged (in normal riding conditions, the warning light "E" is off).

With engine on, system locked and warning light "E" on, the suspension locking system is disengaged automatically and the warning light "E" turns off when the throttle is twisted to start the ride.

For riders' safety, the vehicle has a rider detection sensor in the saddle which enables the system to prevent vehicle motion and suspension unlocking (in case of locked suspension) when the rider is not properly seated in riding position: in such case, the WARNING light «Q» turns on steadily

CAUTION

THE RIDER DETECTION SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT PART OF THE SADDLE. AVOID PLACING BAGS OR HEAVY OBJECTS ACCIDENTALLY ON THE SADDLE.

NOT OBSERVING THIS RULE MAY MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND RELEASE THE SUSPENSION LOCKING SYSTEM EVEN IF THE RIDER IS NOT SEATED, BY SIMPLY TWISTING THE THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE COULD FALL ACCIDENTALLY AS A CONSEQUENCE.

Page 46

WARNING

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MAKE SURE THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOCKING SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. OTHERWISE, PLACE YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UPRIGHT.

WARNING

AVOID USING THE LOCKING SYSTEM WHEN RIDING THE VEHICLE ALONG IRREGULAR ROADS OR ROADS WITH OBSTACLES(E.G. ROAD HUMPS, SIDEWALK, ETC.).

IN CASE OF ENGINE FAILURE (DISCHARGED BATTERY) AVOID PULLING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM ENGAGED.

WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE ENGINE OFF, AVOID MOVING THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 5 Km/h.

WARNING

IF THE RIDER IS NOT SEATED ON THE SADDLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE LOCKING SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, AVOID OPERATING THE THROTTLE CONTROL PURPOSELESSLY AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

CAUTION

DO NOT RIDE DOWNHILL WITH THE SUSPENSION LOCKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE KEY SWITCH SET TO OFF.

Page 47

2 Use

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 operating 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.

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, main bearings and thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine itself. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average consumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any prob-

lems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The vehicle is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

Engine oil level check (03_01)

Every time the scooter is used, a visual check should be made on the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the scooter upright, resting on the centre stand. If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check it is necessary to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped, so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

Any topping up with oil must be carried out after the oil level check by adding oil, but

never exceeding the MAX level. The topping up of the level between MIN and MAX requires approx. 200 cc of oil. Every 5000 km, however, the engine oil level should be checked and topped up, if necessary, at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

03_03

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to the «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If

the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-

Page 51

3 Maintenance

up the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre.

Engine oil change (03_02, 03_03)

The oil and cartridge filter "C" must be changed after 1,000 km and every 10,000 km at an authorised Piaggio service centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil from the drainage cap "B" of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil remains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of oil from cap "A". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without ex- ceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top up and change, use new oil of the recommended type.

WARNING

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADEQUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.

Cooling fluid level (03_09, 03_10, 03_11, 03_12)

The engine cooling system operates by forcing circulation of fluid. The cooling circuit contains about 2 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% de-ionised water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. Recommended coolant, supplied with already mixed and ready for use fluid. For proper functioning of the engine, the coolant temperature must be between the 4th and 7th lit segment, as indicated by the instrument «D» on the digital instrument panel. When the 9th lights up, the icon and all the segments start flashing; stop the engine, let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the result is normal, take your vehicle to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold,following the methods indicated below.

a) Rest the vehicle in vertical position on the stand and remove the screw of the expansion tank cap shown in the photo

b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction. c) Look inside the expansion tank; the fluid level must always be between the min and

the max level d) If the coolant level is near the minimum mark, top up when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completely

dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Piag-

gio Service Centre for this operation. N.B. SHOULD THE 9th SEGMENT OF THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

COME ON DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND LET IT COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS OK, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

Front and rear disc brake

The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.

CAUTION

THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.

CAUTION

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKE SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED BY A PIAGGIO DEALER OR AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL

Page 74

YOU HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE CORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE DURATION OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture

The vehicle is equipped with tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, it is admissible to make an emergency repair using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves removing the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised

Service Centre or Dealer for these operations. CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.
