WARNINGThe automatic-on headlamp feature provides increased visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00030b)
WARNINGDo not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)
The motorcycle has keyless ignition. A key is not required to operate the motorcycle. Instead, an assigned key fob must be present or the PIN must be used before the motorcycle can be started.
Ignition Mode
See Operation → Right Hand Control Switches → Right Hand Control Module (RHCM). With the key fob present and the fork lock rotated fully to the unlocked position, set the OFF/RUN/START switch to RUN. The lights and instruments become operational and the engine can be started. To disarm the security system using the PIN, see SECURITY SYSTEM → Arming and Disarming.
The motorcycle remains ON (or the engine continues running) until the OFF/RUN/START switch is set to OFF. Taking the key fob out of range will not shut down the engine or turn off the motorcycle after it is turned on. However, the Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) displays a NO FOB message if the motorcycle is driven away without the key fob present.
When parked, set the OFF/RUN/START switch to OFF and take the key fob away from the motorcycle to prevent unauthorized startup. With the motorcycle turned off and the key fob out of range, the starter, ignition system and OFF/RUN/START switch remain disabled, immobilizing the motorcycle.
Accessory Mode
See Operation → Left Hand Control Switches → Left Hand Control Module (LHCM). With the key fob present, press and hold the trip switch. The instruments and accessory circuit are powered. The headlamp and turn signal lamps remain off. While in accessory mode, the IFCU displays the fuel gauge and odometer functions. The headlamp can be activated by pressing the headlamp flash to pass switch.
To turn the motorcycle back off, press and hold the trip switch.
Do not leave the motorcycle in accessory mode for an extended time. This can discharge the battery. If the vehicle is left in accessory mode for 2 hours, the motorcycle automatically shuts off to prevent complete battery discharge. To resume accessory mode, press and hold the trip switch again.
