How to Ride the Motorcycle
107
Warning
The hill hold control system will
deactivate if the side stand is moved
to the down position, the ignition is
switched off, the engine stop switch
is moved to the STOP position or if
the engine is stopped for any other
reason.
The hill hold control system will also
deactivate if a fault occurs which
causes the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) to illuminate.
In these circumstances, the front
brake must be manually applied to
prevent the motorcycle from rolling.
Failure to prevent the motorcycle from
rolling may lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Caution
The hill hold control system is not
designed to be used as a parking
brake.
Do not continually activate the hill
hold system for periods of longer than
10 minutes.
Continuous activation of the hill hold
control system for periods of longer
than 10 minutes may cause damage to
the ABS system.
Activation
The following conditions must be met
before hill hold control can be activated:
•
The engine must be running
• The side stand must be in the up
position
•
The motorcycle must be stationary.
When all of the above conditions are
met, complete the following:
•
Squeeze the front brake lever firmly
and quickly, then release.
•
Upon releasing the lever, a message
is shown in the display and the hill
hold warning light is shown in green.
The hill hold control system is now
active and the rear brake will be
automatically applied.
•
The message will remain shown in
the display and the hill hold warning
light will remain green until hill hold
control is deactivated.
•
The rear brake will remain applied
until the system detects that the
rider is attempting to move off,
or hill hold control is manually
deactivated by the rider.
Note
The hill hold control system will not
operate if there is a fault with the ABS
or engine management systems and
the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are
illuminated.
