Behavior when the vehicle is
rolling back or slipping
The brake pressure increases
when the vehicle is rolling
back with the Hill Start Con-
trol Pro activated.
If the rear wheel slips, the
brake is released again after
approx. Approx. 3.3 ft (Ap-
prox. 1 m). This prevents
slipping down the hill with
the rear wheel locked up, for
example.
Releasing the brake when
stopping the engine
The Hill Start Control Pro is de-
activated when the engine is
switched off using the emer-
gency-off switch or when the
side stand is folded down.
In addition to indicator and
warning lights, the following
vehicle behavior should make
the rider aware that the Hill
Start Control Pro is deactivated:
Brake warning jerk
The brake is released briefly
and is immediately reacti-
vated.
This causes a jerking behavior
that the rider can feel.
The partial integral ABS brake
system sets a speed of ap-
prox. 2 mph (3 km/h).
The rider must brake the vehi-
cle manually.
After two minutes, or upon
brake actuation, Hill Start
Control Pro is deactivated
completely.
When the ignition
is switched off, the
holding pressure is built up
immediately and without brake
warning jerk.

ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT

How do the adaptive
headlights work?
The standard installed dimming
unit in the headlight consists
of two reflectors that generate
low beams using LEDs. Ride
height sensors at the front and
rear wheel suspension pro-
vide data for ongoing head-
light range control. Thanks to
the pitching compensation, the
light always illuminates the op-
timal, preset area when riding
on straight stretches of road,
regardless of the riding con-
ditions and load status. Using
Adaptive Headlights, the dim-
ming unit additionally rotates
around an axis, depending on
the angle, and compensates for
the angle of roll of the vehicle.
The angle of rotation is 70°
(±35°).
In addition to the pitching com-
pensation, the low-beam head-
