Switch direction indicators

Move the switch to the left to indicate a left turn; move the switch to the right to indicate a right turn. Pressing the switch deactivates the turn indicator.

CAUTION

IF THE INDICATOR LIGHT WITH ARROWS FLASHES QUICKLY, IT MEANS THAT ONE OR BOTH TURN SIGNALS LIGHT BULBS ARE BURNT OUT.

The turn indicators have a self-cancelling function that implements the following logic.

With the vehicle at a standstill (speed = zero), the turn indicators continue flashing indefinitely.

With the vehicle in motion, the turn signals self-cancel when one the two following conditions is met:

• After a time (t) = 40 sec.
• After riding 500 m (0.31 mi)

If the vehicle speed reaches zero during this period, the time and distance counts are reset and start again from zero when the vehicle starts moving once again.

Switching on the opposite side turn indicators without pressing the switch in the intermediate reset position causes both the time and distance counters to reset and recommence from zero.
