The immobilizer system
In order to enhance theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IMMO-
BILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when the
ignition switch is removed. Upon start-up, the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system
checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the Immobiliser system
allow the vehicle to be started.

Keys (01_12, 01_13, 01_14)
Two types of keys are supplied together with the vehicle.
Key «A» is the «MASTER» 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 key «B» (single copy supplied) is used for regular operations such as:
- Engine start-up.
Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same code
imprinted onto the two keys.
WARNING
LOSING THE MASTER KEY PREVENTS ANY FURTHER REPAIR OF THE "PIAG-
GIO IMMOBILISER" SYSTEM AND OF THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.
WARNING
KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE MASTER KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT IN
THE VEHICLE).

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_15)
The activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system is signalled by a flashing
indicator «M». In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off auto-
matically 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
Each time the ignition key «B» is removed while in the «OFF» or «LOCK» positions,
the protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the ignition key «B» to
«ON» disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code
transmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the ignition key «B» first to
«OFF»andthenbackto«ON»again;if lockpersists,tryagainusing the«A»MASTER
key. If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Service Centre, which
is provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system.
When the supplementary starter keys are required, remember that the all the keys,
whether new or existing, should be programmed.
Contact an Authorised Service Centre and bring the «A» MASTER key and all
«B» starter keys that you own.
The codes of starter keys not submitted for the new programming procedure are de-
leted from the memory. Any lost starter keys will therefore not be enabled to start the
engine.

WARNING
EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN
THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT MEMORY.
VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE
KEY.
IF THE VEHICLE IS SOLD, THE MASTER-HANDGRIP KEY (AS WELL AS THE
OTHER STARTER KEYS) AND THE «CODE CARD» MUST ALSO BE TRANS-
FERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.
Programming the immobilizer system (01_16)
Below is described the procedure to follow for programming the PIAGGIO IMMOBIL-
ISER system and/or for storing other key codes. The programming procedure should
be carried out with the engine stop switch set to «RUN».
START PROCEDURE
Insert the «MASTER» key «A» into the ignition switch (in «OFF») and turn it to
«ON». After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to «OFF » again and pull it out.
INTERMEDIATE STAGE
After extracting the «MASTER» key «A», insert, within ten seconds, the key that is
going to be programmed «B» and turn it immediately to «ON». After 1-3 seconds, turn
the key to «OFF» again and pull it out. In this way, a maximum of 3 keys can be
programmed by repeating the above procedure and keeping the indicated times.

FINAL STAGE
After extracting the key to be programmed «B», insert the «MASTER» key «A» again
and turn it to «ON» (perform this operation within the 10 seconds following the ex-
traction of the previous key). Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it
to «OFF».
01_16
CORRECT PROGRAMMING CHECK PHASE
Insert the «MASTER» key «A» disabling the transponder «C» (i.e., by tilting the key
cap by 90°), and turn the key to «ON». Perform the engine starter operation. Ensure
that the engine does not start. Insert the programmed key «B» and repeat the starter
operation. Check that engine starts.
WARNING

PONDER OFF) OR IN THE EVENT OF WRONG OPERATION DURING PROGRAM-
MING, REPEAT THE PROCEDURE FROM THE BEGINNING.
