581Accessories
Operating electrical
accessoriesYou can start using electrical
accessories only when the
ignition is switched on. The
auxiliary device remains oper-
ational if the ignition is subse-
quently switched off. Approx.
15 minutes after switching off
the ignition and/or during the
restart operation, the on-
board socket is switched off to
take the load off the vehicle
electrical system.
WiringThe cables from the power
socket to the auxiliary device
must be routed in such a way
that they:
– Do not impede the rider
– Do not restrict or obstruct the steering angle and han-
dling characteristics
– Cannot be trapped
Incorrectly routed cables
can impede the rider.
Route the cables as described
above. c
