Front suspension unlock-lock switch (01_19)
The «Q» switch engages and disengages the front suspension locking system (where
available).
As the topic is so complex, find the instructions for using this control in the Use chapter.
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_20)
Two types of keys come 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 main-
tenance operations. We therefore recommend that it be used only under exceptional
circumstances.
The ignition key «B» (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations for the start-
er.
