Display backlight
The instrument panel backlighting is always activated at key-
E
ON. The instrument panel is equipped with internal sensors
that detect the ambient light level and at night reduces the
maximum backlighting level by 20% to prevent glare.
Intelligent headlight switch-off
This function helps reduce battery use by automatically
switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in 3 cases:
- in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and
do not start the engine within 60 seconds, the headlight
is turned off and will be turned on again only when the
engine is next switched on;
- in the second case, after normal use of the vehicle with
the lights on, if the engine is killed via the RUN-STOP
button on the RH switch.
In this case, the headlight is switched off 60 seconds
after the engine is switched off, and only switched on
again the next time the engine is started;
- in the third case, the headlight is switched off while the
engine is being started and switched back on again
when the engine is running.

Intelligent headlight switch-on
This function allows programmed activation of the headlight
even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off).
Immediately after key-off, the instrument panel remains
active for 60 seconds, thus allowing the headlight to be
switched on if switch (1, fig. 10) is pressed in position A "▲"
or B "▼".
During these 60 seconds, each time switch (1, fig. 10) is
pressed in position A "▲" or B "▼", the instrument panel
will activate the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of
switch (1, fig. 10) in position A "▲" or B "▼" will add to the
headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses
(equivalent to a maximum activation time of 180 seconds).
After the first time you press switch (1, fig. 10) in position A
"▲" or B "▼", the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching
on the headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if
you press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the
30 seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds
can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the
headlight.
To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/
Key-Off.
If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this
function is active, when power is restored, the instrument
panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel
does not remain active for 60 seconds).
