Safety information
EAU1026B
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-
sible for the safe and proper operation
of your scooter.
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are de-
pendent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements before
riding this scooter.
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and mainte-
nance requirements in this Own-
er’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made neces-
sary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction. Take
a training course. Beginners
should receive training from a cer-
tified instructor. Contact an autho-
rized scooter dealer to find out
about the training courses nearest
you.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it
is in safe operating condition. Failure to
inspect or maintain the vehicle properly
increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See page 6-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic is
the predominating cause of auto-
mobile/scooter accidents. Many
accidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the scooter. Making yourself con-
spicuous appears to be very effec-
tive in reducing the chance of this
type of accident.
Therefore:
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for scooter accidents to
occur.
Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
Never maintain a scooter with- out proper knowledge. Contact
an authorized scooter dealer to
inform you on basic scooter
maintenance. Certain mainte-
nance can only be carried out by
certified staff.
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent driver’s license. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified opera-
tors.
Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may

block communication between the
smart key and the vehicle. If the
rear trunk or front storage com-
partment is locked with the smart

WARNING
EWA17952
The smart key should be carried
with you. Do not store it on the
vehicle.
When the smart key is within op-
erating range, exercise due care
because other people not carry-
ing the smart key can start the
engine and operate the vehicle.
EAU61646
Handling of the smart key and
mechanical key
Included with the vehicle is one smart
key (with a built-in mechanical key) and
one spare mechanical key with an iden-
tification card. Keep the spare mechan-
ical key and card separate from the
smart key. Should you lose or damage
the smart key, or when its battery is dis-
charged, the mechanical key will serve
as a back up. The seat can be opened,
the smart key system identification
number can be manually input, and
then the vehicle can be operated. (See
page 8-37.) We recommend that you
note down the identification number
in case of emergency.
If the smart key and identification card
of the mechanical key are both lost or
damaged, and there is no record of the
identification number, the entire smart
key system will need to be replaced.
TIP
The identification number can also be
found on the smart key itself.
