Traction Control System - Sym MAXSYM 400 Manual

ABS Indicator
The ABS indicator (page 10) in the combination instrument may go on when the below situation occurs:
 When the engine is started with the main stand raised, turn off the traction control system (page 32)
and the throttle is opened to make the rear wheel spins.
 Force the front wheel to off the ground while riding (wheelie).
 When the ABS is subjected by strong electromagnetic interference.
 Either tire is different from the standard size, replace with standard size.
 Either rim is deformed, replace the rim.
If the above mentioned happens, turn the ignition switch off and turn it on, then ride the scooter at more than
5 km/h, the ABS indicator should go off. If the indicator does not go off, have your scooter checked by an
authorized SYM dealer.
CAUTION:
ABS cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe riding practices. Be
aware of how the ABS operates and its limitations. It is the rider's responsibility to ride at appropriate
speeds and manner for weather, road surface and traffic conditions.
Traction Control System (TCS)
This traction control system lowers the engine power output in case of loss of traction in the rear wheel. This
system helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, such as wet, muddy or unpaved
roads. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is starting to slip, the traction control system intervenes by
regulating engine power until traction is recovered.
TCS Indicator
When the ignition switch is turned on, the traction control system is automatically turned on. The traction
control system can be turned off when the ignition switch is turned to "On" position; push and hold the TCS
button (page 22) for approximately 3 seconds to turn off the traction control system. To turn on the traction
control system, push and hold the TCS button for approximately 3 seconds then the TCS indicator will go
off. The traction control system can only be turned off and turned back on when the scooter is stationary.
 TCS indicator goes off: with system turned on and scooter in motion, or when system is detecting wheel
speeds.
 TCS indicator goes on: with system turned off by rider, or a malfunction occurs. If the system is turned
off before starting the engine (with ignition switch in "On" position), this indicator will remain on after the
engine is started.
 TCS indicator flashes: when system is intervening.
