Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE - Owner's Manual > Cruise Control

Warning

Cruise control must only be used where you can drive safely at a steady speed.

Cruise control should not be used when riding in heavy traffic, on roads with sharp/blind bends or when they are slippery.

Using cruise control in heavy traffic, on roads with sharp/blind bends or when they are slippery, may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as speed increases.

Always reduce speed in consideration of weather and traffic conditions.

Warning

Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course, onroad competition or on closed-course racetracks.

High speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's behaviour in all conditions.

High speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Note

Cruise control may not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system and the ABS warning light is illuminated.

Cruise control will continue to function if a riding mode is selected with ABS set to Off road or Off.

Cruise control will continue to function if ABS has been disabled.

The cruise control button is located on the left hand switch housing and can be operated with minimum movement by the rider.
