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_11, 01_12, 01_13)
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.
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_14)
Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing "C" 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.
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.
16
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
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 7 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.
Proper programming check
Insert the red key disabling the transponder (i.e., tilt the key cap by 90°) and turn the key to "ON". Perform the engine start-up operation. Ensure that the engine does not start. Insert the black key and repeat the start-up operation. Check that engine starts.
WARNING
SHOULD THE ENGINE START WITH THE RED KEY (WITH TRANSPONDER OFF), OR IN THE EVENT OF WRONG OPERATION DURING PROGRAMMING, REPEAT THE PROCEDURE FROM THE BEGINNING.

Saddle opening remote control (01_15, 01_16)
The vehicle is equipped with a key with remote control to open the saddle and the back compartment cover from the distance. This remote control is supplied together with the «MASTER» key and it has been programmed to control the opening device control unit at the manufacturing stage. A maximum of 7 keys operated by remote control can be programmed (see «remote control programming» section ). The remote control for the black key is powered by inner batteries that get discharged after extended used; If the green LED on the handgrip turns on when the button is pressed, the remote control is working properly.
You may need to replace the batteries inside the key if the remote control fails or if its range of operation is reduced.
In order to carry out this operation, separate the two halves of the remote control by inserting an edge or the thin tip of a plain slot screwdriver on the external groove and slide it all around said groove.
Go to the printed circuit and remove the two batteries from the contact terminal; replace the two batteries «D», paying attention to reassemble them with the poles facing the correct sense and with new CR1616 batteries, then reassemble the handgrip.
To open the saddle without the remote control, follow the procedure described in the «Saddle» or «Opening saddle with remote control» section
Remote control programming
Follow these steps to program the remote controls:
1. Insert the remote control key to be programmed in the steering lock key block.
2. Turn the key to «ON», press the button on the remote control, release the button, turn the key back to «OFF» from the «ON» position, all within 4 seconds.
3 Wait 1 to 8 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for 4 times without removing the key.
18
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
The control unit confirms the programming has been successfully executed by opening the saddle.
WARNING
TO STORE THE OTHER REMOTE CONTROLS TO MEMORY, (MAXIMUM 8), YOU NEED TO REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCEDURE AGAIN. FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THESE OPERATIONS WITHIN THE INDICATED TIMES WILL RESULT IN THE AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION OF THE PROCESS FOR PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE-CONTROLLED KEYS.
WARNING
AVOID PRESSING THE REMOTE CONTROL BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE WHEN FAR AWAY FROM THE SCOOTER. THE SYNCHRONISM BETWEEN THE REMOTE CONTROL AND THE RECEIVER CAN BE IMPAIRED. SHOULD THIS BE THE CASE, REPEAT THE PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE. DO NOT KEEP THE REMOTE CONTROL IN PLACES WITH TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 60° C THE BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN TOO QUICKLY.
WARNING
TO AVOID BATTERY DISCHARGE, THE SADDLE OPENING REMOTE CONTROL RADIO RECEIVER DEACTIVATES 7 DAYS AFTER THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF.
JUST TURN THE KEY TO «ON» TO REACTIVATE THE RECEIVER.
