The engine malfunction light (Immobilizer/Malfunction indicator) on the HERO MAESTRO EDGE scooter turns on continuously and starts blinking after 10 seconds if there is a malfunction in the immobilizer system. This indicates a potential issue with the ignition system, which prevents the engine from starting without an authorized key.
It is not safe to ride with the light on, as it may indicate a serious issue with the scooter's security or electrical system. The manual advises contacting an authorized workshop for inspection and repair if this occurs.
