Operating the heated
handlebar grips
The heating in the heated
handlebar grips can be ac-
tivated only when the engine is
running.
The increase in power con-
sumption caused by hav-
ing the heated handlebar grips
switched on can drain the battery
if you are riding at low engine
speeds. If the charge level is low,
the heated handlebar grips are
switched off to ensure the bat-
tery's starting capability.
Start engine ( 56).
