The immobilizer system
In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IM-
MOBILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when
the starter key is removed. Upon start-up, the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system
checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the immobilizer system
allow the scooter to be started.
Keys (01_09, 01_10, 01_11)
Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MAS-
TER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program
all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For
this reason it is advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances. The black
key "B" (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations such as:
- engine start up
- glove-box opening
Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical
code of the keys.
WARNING
LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBIL-
IZER" SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.
WARNING
KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE
(NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).

01_12
Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_12)
Activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system is signalled by a flashing «O»
warning light.
In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48
hours of uninterrupted functioning.
Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will provide the Authorised
Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected.
Operation
Every time the starter key is extracted from either the «OFF» or «LOCK» position, the
protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the key to «ON», with the emer-
gency cut-off switch set to «ON» and the side stand up, disables the engine lock
providedthatthesafetysystemrecognisesthecodetransmittedbythekey.Ifthecode
is not recognised, turn the key first to "OFF" and then to "ON"; if the lock cannot be
disabled,trywiththeotherkeysupplied(red-coloured).Iftheenginecannotbestarted,
contact an Authorised Service Centre, which is provided with the electronic equip-
ment required to detect and repair the system. The immobilizer is also activated when
the emergency cut-off switch stops the engine or the side stand is lowered. This hap-
pens even if the starter key is in «ON». When supplementary keys are required,
remember that the programming (up to a maximum of three keys) must be performed
on all the keys whether they are new or already in your possession. Take the red-
handgrip key and all the black keys supplied to an Authorised Service Centre. The
codes of keys not submitted for the new storage procedure are deleted from the
memory. Any lost keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine.
WARNING
EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED BY
THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.
VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE
KEY.

IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY
(AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE
TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.
Programming the immobilizer system
The procedure for programming the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system and/or for
storing other key codes is described below.
The programming procedure should be carried out with the engine stop switch set to
«RUN».
Procedure start - red key
Insert the red-handgrip key in the switch key (in "OFF" position) and turn it to "ON".
After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out.
Intermediate step - black key
After pulling out the red key, insert the black key within 10 seconds and promptly turn
it to "ON". After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out. In this way,
a maximum of 7 black keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure
keeping the indicated times.
Final step - red key
After pulling out the last black key, insert the red key again and turn it to "ON" (this
operation should be performed within 10 seconds of pulling out the previous key).
Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to the «OFF» position.
Proper programming check
Insert the red key disabling the transponder (i.e., tilt the key cap by 90°) and turn the
key to "ON". Perform the engine start-up operation. Ensure that the engine does not
start. Insert the black key and repeat the start-up operation. Check that engine starts.
