Headlight control
This function allows you to reduce current consumption from
the battery, by automatically managing headlight switching-
off.
The high beam and low beam lights stay off upon key-on.
When engine has started, the low beam will turn on
automatically; from this moment on, lights "normal"
operation is established: it will be possible to switch from
low beam to high beam (using button 13, fig. 5) or operate the
"FLASH" signal (using button 13, fig. 5). If engine is not
started upon key-on, it is anyway possible to switch the lights
on by pushing the button on the LH high/low beam switch
(button 13, fig. 5); press once to turn low beam on; after that,
you can use the same button to switch from low beam to
high beam (if engine is not started within 60 seconds, the
active low or high beam is turned off).
If headlight was turned on before starting the engine, as
described above, headlight is automatically switched off
while engine is cranking and is turned back on once engine
has actually started.

Turn signals (automatic reset)
The instrument panel controls the automatic reset of the turn
signals.
After activating one of the two turn signals, they can be
deactivated using the RESET button (14, fig. 5).
If the turn indicator is not "reset" manually, the instrument
panel will automatically switch it off after the motorcycle has
travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from when the turn signal was
activated.
The counter for the distance travelled for automatic
deactivation is activated at speeds below 80 Km/h (50 mph).
If the calculation of the distance for automatic deactivation is
activated and then the motorcycle exceeds a speed of 80
km/h (50 mph), the calculation is interrupted and will restart
when the speed returns below the indicated threshold.
