2. Check that the temperature of the heated gripsincreases.

3. Fuse number 4 of the front fuse box protectsthe heated grip circuit. Refer to the label in thefuse box lid for fuse amperage.

Operation

The heated grips work when the ignition is switchedon. However, it is recommended that they are onlyused when the engine is running to avoid drainingthe battery.

The heated grips have three operating modes, HIGH,MEDIUM and LOW. Press the heated grip button andthe status will be shown on the display screen as aheated grip symbol in different colours, as describedbelow:

• Press once - HIGH: RED symbol with 3 dots.

• Press Twice - MEDIUM: ORANGE symbol with 2 dots.

To switch OFF the heated grips, press and releasethe button until a GREY heated grip symbol isshown in the display screen. After three seconds,the heated grips symbol will disappear from thedisplay screen. The heated grips are also switchedoff when the ignition is switched off.

For maximum benefit from cold conditions, use theheated grips in the HIGH status initially and whenthe grips have warmed up, change the status toLOW.

Automatic Shutdown

If heated grips are fitted and are on with the enginenot running, over a period of time, the batteryvoltage may drop below 11.8 Volts and ’LoBatt’ isthen shown in the display screen for three seconds.

If the heated grips are on and ’LoBatt’ is shown,then the heated grips are automatically switchedoff to prevent further discharge of the battery. It isnot possible to resume heated grip operation untilthe engine has been running and the batteryvoltage has increased above 11.8 Volts.

In the event of a short circuit issue, ’HgrOFF’ isshown in the display screen and the heated gripsare automatically switched off. The heated gripscan be switched back on after 25 seconds.
