Safety information
EAU1026B
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-
sible for the safe and proper operation
of your scooter.
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are de-
pendent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements before
riding this scooter.
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and mainte-
nance requirements in this Own-
er’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made neces-
sary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction. Take
a training course. Beginners
should receive training from a cer-
tified instructor. Contact an autho-
rized scooter dealer to find out
about the training courses nearest
you.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it
is in safe operating condition. Failure to
inspect or maintain the vehicle properly
increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic is
the predominating cause of auto-
mobile/scooter accidents. Many
accidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the scooter. Making yourself con-
spicuous appears to be very effec-
tive in reducing the chance of this
type of accident.
Therefore:
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for scooter accidents to
occur.
Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
Never maintain a scooter with- out proper knowledge. Contact
an authorized scooter dealer to
inform you on basic scooter
maintenance. Certain mainte-
nance can only be carried out by
certified staff.
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent driver’s license. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified opera-
tors.
Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may

Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between the
smart key and the vehicle. If the
rear trunk is locked with the smart
key inside, the smart key system
may be disabled. The smart key
should always be carried on your
person.
When leaving the vehicle, make
sure you apply the steering lock
and take the smart key with you. It
is recommended that you turn the
smart key off.

Handling of the smart key and
mechanical key
WARNING
EWA17952
The smart key should be carried
with you. Do not store it on the
vehicle.
When the smart key is within op-
erating range, exercise due care
because other people not carry-
ing the smart key can start the
engine and operate the vehicle.
Included with the vehicle is one smart
key (with a built-in mechanical key) and
one spare mechanical key with an iden-
tification tag. Keep the spare mechani-
cal key and tag separate from the smart
key. Should you lose or damage the
smart key, or when its battery is dis-
charged, the mechanical key will serve
as a back up. The seat can be opened,
the smart key system identification
number can be manually input, and
then the vehicle can be operated. (See
page 7-38.) We recommend that you
note down the identification number
in case of emergency.

Powering off the vehicle
To turn the vehicle power off (and stop
the engine if it is running), with the
smart key on and within operating
range, press the “OFF/LOCK” switch.
Upon authentification of the smart key,
the beeper will sound once to confirm
that the vehicle power has been suc-
cessfully turned off.
If the smart key is not within operating
range or cannot communicate with the
vehicle when you press the
“OFF/LOCK” switch, the vehicle will not
be turned off and the beeper will sound
for three seconds (the smart key sys-
tem indicator light will also flash) to alert
you that the power was not successfully
turned off. Confirm the location and
condition of the smart key and try pow-
ering off the vehicle again.
TIP
The rider must turn off the power of
the vehicle manually.
The power of the vehicle will not
turn off automatically even if the
smart key is moved out of operat-
ing range of the smart key system.
The power of the vehicle cannot be
turned off via the “OFF/LOCK”
switch when the vehicle is moving. Be sure to stop the vehicle in a
safe place when turning off the
power.
Without the smart key, the vehicle
power can be turned off by press-
ing the “OFF/LOCK” switch again
while the smart key system indica-
tor light is flashing.
See page 7-38 for more informa-
tion about emergency mode and
how to turn the vehicle power on
without the smart key.

When approximately 3.0 L (0.79 US
gal, 0.66 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in the
fuel tank, the display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “Trip F” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In that
case, pushing the “SELECT” button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
Odo  Trip 1  Trip 2  Trip F 

To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip F”,
“Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed. While
“Trip F”, “Trip 1” or “Trip 2” is displayed,
push the “SELECT” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the fuel
reserve tripmeter manually, it will reset
itself automatically and the display will
return to the prior mode after refueling

TIP
This model is equipped with:
a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the display will indicate error

tion. Turn the vehicle power off
and then on to clear the error code.
Failing to do so will prevent the en-
gine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switch
to restart the engine.
