Piaggio 400ie - Manual (Page 42)

When the hand brake is set to «B» and the key switch is turned to position «1», the
safety system that prevents the hand brake from getting released is activated. To
release the hand brake, turn the key switch to position «2» or «3». If the switch is set
to position «1 » , the hand brake can also be engaged.
If the WARNING light «Q » turns on (flashes), it means that there is a failure in the
front suspension locking system. Therefore, it is necessary to contact an Authorised
Service Centre. If the front suspension is locked , it can be unlocked by operating the
«T» switch twice quickly on the unlocking position «2». Once the suspension is un-
locked, the vehicle can be normally used, except for the locking system which will be
disengaged.
For some cases of failure, the vehicle speed is auto-limited to 30 Km/h. This automatic
procedure is activated to enhance safety until the failure is eliminated.
Always contact an Authorised Service Centre.
If the continuous sound alarm is activated when the WARNING light «Q» turns on
(steadily), try to unlock the system by operating the «T » switch twice quickly on the
unlocking position «2».If it cannot be unlocked, contact an Authorised Service Cen-
tre.
