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_12, 01_13, 01_14)
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
- glove-box opening Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical
code of the keys.
WARNING
LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE 'PIAGGIO IMMOBIL­IZER' SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.
WARNING
KEEP THE 'CODE CARD' AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_15)
Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing warning light "C" (see section "Analogue instrument panel").
In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning.
Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will be provided by an Author- ised Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected.
01_16
Operation (01_16)
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. The immobiliser is also activated in the engine is switched off with the RUN OFF switch. This happens even if the starter key is in position "ON".
When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 3 keys max.) must be done on all keys, both new ones and existing ones. Take the key with the red grip 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.

Page 15
VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE KEY.
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
Insert the red-handgrip key in the switch key (in "OFF" position) and turn it to "ON". After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out.
Intermediate step - black key
After pulling out the red key, insert the black key within 10 seconds and promptly turn it to "ON". After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out. In this way, a maximum of 3 black keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure keeping the indicated times.
Final step - red key
After pulling out the last black key, insert the red key again and turn it to "ON" (this operation should be performed within 10 seconds of pulling out the previous key). Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to the «OFF» position.

02_11
Automatic transmission (02_11)
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 mechanism itself against the clutch bell.
It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness greater than 25%.
Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats:
29
2 Use
Page 30
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
02_12
Safe driving (02_12)
Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of safe riding. 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 riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be
poor at the beginning. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes from time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.
5. 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.
6. When riding along roads covered by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. we recommend cleaning the brake disc frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early brake pad wear.
CAUTION
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL­COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DAN­GEROUS.
30
Page 31
CAUTION
ANY CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS ALTERATIONS TO ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.
CAUTION
DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
WARNING
IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. THE ADDITION OF ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE YOUR SCOOTER STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF SAFETY DURING USE. NEVER DRIVE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 100 km/h (see section "SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES")

Engine oil level
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. 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). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking
the oil level any time you use the vehicle. The scooter is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.
03_01
Engine oil level check (03_01)
Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; during the oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontal surface.
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, 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.
34
Page 35
03_02
Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_02)
The scooter is equipped with a warning light "I" that lights up when the key is turned to the "ON" position.
However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light comes on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and top-up if required. If after having topped up the oil, the warning light still turns on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Service Centre.
03_03
03_04
Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)
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.

Cooling fluid level (03_11, 03_12, 03_13)
The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use. For proper functioning of the engine, ensure that the temperature of the coolant re-
mains in the middle zone of gauge "L" on the instrument panel. If the needle of the gauge enters the red zone, switch off the engine, allow to cool down and check the coolant level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
The fluid level must checked every 10,000 kilometres with a cold engine, in the way shown below:
a) Place the scooter in a vertical position on the stand. Remove the cover by pulling out the screw as shown in the figure.
b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction. c) Look inside the expansion tank; a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum
and minimum reference of the expansion tank. d) Top up, if necessary, if the fluid level is below the MIN level on the scale inside the
expansion tank. The fluid level must always be between MIN and MAX level If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be carried
out 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. For this operation, please contact an
authorised Piaggio service centre. N.B. IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMES
ON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK
42
Page 43
THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS NOT CORRECT, CONTACT AN AU­THORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, DO NOT UNSCREW THE EXPANSION TANK COVER WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT.
WARNING
IN ORDER TO AVOID HARMFUL FLUID LEAKS WHILE RIDING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL NEVER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM VALUE.
IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE ENGINE, IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE RADIATOR GRILLE CLEAN.

Checking the brake oil level (03_14, 03_15)
The brake fluid tanks of the front and rear brakes are located on the pumps under the covers on the handlebar. Proceed as follows:
1. Place the scooter on its centre stand and make sure the handlebar is centred;
2. Remove cover "A" by removing the respective retaining screw "B";
3. Check the fluid level through the respective sight glass "C".
A certain lowering of the level is caused by wear on the pads. Should the level appear to be below the minimum mark, please contact your nearest PIAGGIO Dealer or Au- thorised Service Centre in order to have a thorough inspection of the brake system carried out.
Braking system fluid top up
Proceed as follows: Remove tank covers "A" and loosen the two screws and top up the brake fluid level using only the prescribed brake fluid and without exceeding the maximum level.
Under normal climatic conditions, the brake fluid must be replaced every 20,000 km or every two years, whichever comes first. This operation must be carried out by trained technicians; please contact your nearest PIAGGIO Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

WARNING
SPENT BATTERIES ARE HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS.
Long periods of inactivity
Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles. In order to avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of these steps:
- At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15 minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good working order.
- Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the "Vehicle not used for extended periods" section) to have the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, charged fully and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every two months.
N.B. THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THE
RATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS. CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERA­TION SAFELY. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

Rear-view mirrors
In order to remove the rear-view mirrors:
1. Remove the two screws «A» on the instrument panel upper section.
2. Remove the five screws «B» of the front handlebar cover.
3. Undo the three screws «C» fixing the windshield and collect the washers.
4. Loosen the lock nut «D» fixing the mirror and then remove the mirror.
To adjust the mirror, hold it and turn until it is adjusted to the adequate angle.
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
56
Page 57
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 BEFORE HAVING USED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PISTONS 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 (03_29)
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.
WARNING
THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.

Periods of inactivity (03_30)
We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;
2. With engine off and piston at the bottom dead centre, remove the spark plug, fill
with 1÷2 cm³ of oil (adding more than this quantity is dangerous for the engine). Op­erate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the spark plug again;
3. Drain all the fuel from the scooter; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts; keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;
4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.
