E Light control Headlight control This function allows you to reduce current consumption from the battery, by automatically managing headlight switchingoff. At Key-On, the high beam and low beam lights are off. When the engine is started, the low beam lights turn on automatically; from this moment on, lights "normal" operation is established: it will be possible to switch from low beam to high beam (using button 13, fig. 5) or operate the "FLASH" signal (using button 13, fig. 5). If engine is not started upon key-on, it is anyway possible to switch the lights on by pushing the button on the LH high/low beam switch (button 13, fig. 5); the low beam lights are turned on the first time it is pressed; from this moment, the same button can be used to switch between the low beam and high beam lights (if the engine is not started within 60 seconds, the low beam or high beam light that were turned on will turn off). If the headlight was turned on before starting the engine with the procedure described above, the headlight turns off automatically when starting the vehicle and will turn on again when the engine has been completely started. Turn signals (automatic reset) The instrument panel controls the automatic reset of the turn signals. After activating one of the two turn signals, they can be deactivated using the RESET button (14, fig. 5). If the turn indicator is not "reset" manually, the instrument panel will automatically switch it off after the motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn signal was activated. The counter for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation is activated at speeds below 80 Km/h (50 mph). If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), the calculation is interrupted and will restart when the speed returns below the indicated threshold. 100
