Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE - Owner's Manual > Smart Key Operation

To turn the motorcycle on with the keyless ignition:

• The smart key must be within close proximity (one metre/three feet) of a system sensor. There is a system sensor located under the seat, and another system sensor located in the headlight unit. If the smart key is out of range of a system sensor then it will be unresponsive and the keyless ignition cannot be activated.
• Press the button on the smart key to turn the key on. The button light shows green briefly to indicate that the smart key is on.

  A short press on the smart key button shows the status of the smart key; red is OFF and green is ON. A long press of the button will change the status to OFF or ON after briefly showing the original status colour first.

If the smart key battery is discharged, then use the smart key in the standard key operation method.

Master Ignition Switch (if fitted)

Master Ignition Switch

The master ignition switch is only fitted to motorcycles in the United States and Canada. The master ignition switch is located on the left hand side of the motorcycle.

To operate the motorcycle with the keyless ignition, the master ignition switch must be in the ON position.

If the master ignition switch is in the OFF position then the keyless ignition cannot be used and the motorcycle can not be started.

Steering Lock

Warning

Always disengage the steering lock before riding.

If the steering lock is engaged, it is not possible to turn the handlebars or steer the motorcycle.

Riding without motorcycle steering control will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

The steering lock is located on the upper yoke.

It is a two position, key operated lock.

The key can be removed in either the engaged or disengaged positions.

To engage the steering lock:

• Insert the key and turn clockwise.
• At the same time, turn the handlebar fully left until the lock engages.

To disengage the steering lock:

• Insert the key.
• Turn the handlebar slightly to relieve any weight on the steering lock, and turn the key anticlockwise.

To remove the key:

Power ON/OFF Position

The Power ON/OFF position switches the electrical circuits and the instrument display between on or off.

This allows access to the instrument display without starting the engine.

Caution

Do not leave the switch in the Power ON position for a long period of time as this may cause damage to electrical components and will discharge the battery.

STOP Position

The STOP position stops the engine.

Note

Although the engine stop position stops the engine, it does not turn off all the electrical circuits and may cause difficulty in restarting the engine due to a discharged battery.

RUN Position

The engine start/stop switch must be in the RUN position for the motorcycle to operate.

QUICK START Position

The QUICK START position operates the electric starter allowing for a quicker ignition start.

From the ignition off, press and hold the engine start/stop switch in the QUICK START position with all the correct conditions met, to start the motorcycle.
