Once the desired heat level is selected, do not further press button (5); after 3 seconds the instrument panel will automatically quit this function and the last condition will be stored. Attention If heated grips are used at ambient temperatures above +60° ÷ +70° F (15° ÷ 20° C), heat will be automatically reduced (based on outer temperature) to protect grips against any damage due to overheating. Note Heated grips are actually enabled, namely produce heat, only with the engine running and above 2,000 RPM. If, for example, heated grips are enabled and then engine is turned off, they will be temporarily disabled. They will be automatically re-enabled once engine is started again. Grip heating requires a high current draw which could run the battery flat at low rpm. If battery charge is not enough (voltage below 11.0 Volt) grip heating will be disabled to ensure vehicle starting; it will be automatically re-enabled as soon as battery voltage is above the indicated value. 134
