Once the "Hazard" function is activated, if vehicle is turned off (i.e. key turned to "OFF"), the function stays active until manually turned off by the user or as long as the battery voltage is ≤ 12.2 V. If voltage is < 12.2 V the turn indicators will turn off automatically in order to save battery charge. The Immobilizer system For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that inhibits engine operation whenever the ignition switch is turned off. Housed in the handgrip of each ignition key is an electronic device that modulates an output signal. When the ignition is turned on this signal is generated by a special antenna incorporated in the switch and changes every time. The modulated signal represents the "password" (which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognizes this password. Note If user performs a Key-ON while the "Hazard" function is still active, the function will remain ON (temporary turn indicator control interruption is allowed during the instrument panel initial check routine). Note If there is a sudden interruption in the battery while the function is active, the instrument panel will disable the function when the voltage is restored. Note The "Hazard" function has higher priority compared to normal operation of the single turn indicators, this means that, as long as it is active, it will not be possible to activate the single right or left turn indicators. 175
