Emer gency mo de When the smart key is lost or dam-
aged, or its battery has discharged, the
vehicle can still be turned on and the
engine started. You will need the smart
key system identification number.
To operate the vehicle in emer gency
mo de
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn the main switch to “OFF”.
2. Push the main switch knob for 5 seconds until the smart key sys-
tem indicator light flashes once,
then release it. Repeat two more
times. The smart key system indi-
cator light will come on for three
seconds to indicate the transition
to emergency mode. 3. After the smart key system indica-
tor light goes off, input the identifi-
cation number as follows. 4. Inputting the identification number
is done by counting the number of
flashes of the smart key system in-
dicator light.
For example, if the identification
number is 123456:
Push and hold the knob.
↓
The smart key system indicator
light will start to flash.
↓
Release the knob after the smart
key system indicator light flashes

The second digit has been set as
“2”.
↓
Repeat the above procedure until
all digits of the identification num-
ber have been set. The smart key
system indicator light will flash for
10 seconds if the correct identifi-
cation number was entered.
TIPWhen one of the following situations
applies, emergency mode will be ter-
minated and the smart key system in-
dicator light will flash quickly for 3
seconds. In this case, start over again
from step 2.
When there are no knob opera-
tions for 10 seconds during the
identification number input pro-
cess.
When the smart key system indi-
cator light is allowed to flash nine
or more times.
The identification number is not
entered correctly.
5. While the smart key system indi-
cator light is on, push the knob
once more to complete emergen-
cy mode access. The smart key
indicator light will go off and then
come back on for approximately 4
seconds.
6. While the smart key system indi- cator light is on, turn the main
switch to “ON”. The vehicle can
now be operated normally.

chemicals such as, solvents,
g
asoline, rust removers, b rake
flui d, or antifreeze, etc.
Before washin g
1. Park the vehicle out of direct sun- light and allow it to cool. This will
help avoid water spots.
2. Make sure all caps, covers, elec- trical couplers and connectors are
tightly installed.
3. Cover the muffler end with a plas- tic bag and a strong rubber band.
4. Pre-soak stubborn stains like in- sects or bird droppings with a wet
towel for a few minutes.
5. Remove road grime and oil stains with a quality degreasing agent
and a plastic-bristle brush or
sponge. NOTICE: Do not use
d eg reasin g a gent on areas re-
quirin g lu brication such as
seals, gaskets, an d wheel axles.
Follow pro duct instructions.
[ECA26290]
Washin g
1. Rinse off any degreaser and spray down the vehicle with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. Avoid spraying wa-
ter directly into the muffler, instru-
ment panel, air inlet, or other inner
areas such as underseat storage
compartments.
2. Wash the vehicle with a quality au- tomotive-type detergent mixed
with cool water and a soft, clean
towel or sponge. Use an old tooth-
brush or plastic-bristle brush for
hard-to-reach places. NOTICE:
Use col d water if the vehicle has
b een exposed to salt. Warm wa-
ter will increase salt’s corrosive
properties.
[ECA26301]
3. For windshield-equipped vehicles: Clean the windshield with a soft
towel or sponge dampened with
water and a pH neutral detergent.
If necessary, use a high-quality
windshield cleaner or polish for
motorcycles. NOTICE: Never use
any stron g chemicals to clean
the wind shield. Additionally,
some cleanin g compoun ds for plastic may scratch the win
d-
shiel d, so b e sure to test all
cleanin g pro ducts before gen-
eral application.
[ECA26310]
4. Rinse off thoroughly with clean water. Be sure to remove all deter-
gent residues, as they can be
harmful to plastic parts.
After washin g
1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or absorbent towel, preferably mi-
crofiber terrycloth.
2. For drive chain-equipped models: Dry and then lubricate the drive
chain to prevent rust.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum, and stainless
steel parts. Often the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.
4. Apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal parts including
chrome or nickel-plated surfaces.
WARNING! Do not apply sili- cone or oil spray to seats, han d
g rips, ru bber foot pe gs or tire
trea ds. Otherwise these parts
