Traction Control System Reset
The traction control system may automatically deactivate (TCS indicator goes on) when the below situation
occurs:
When a wheel speed sensor fault is detected.
ABS indicator goes on.
When the EFi warning indicator goes on.
If the above mentioned happens, stop the scooter at a safe place and turn the ignition switch off, and turn it
on, then start the engine to reset, the TCS indicator should go off. If the TCS indicator does not go off after
resetting, have your scooter checked by an authorized SYM dealer as soon as possible.

When approaching a parking position:
Turn on turn indicator in advance, and smoothly close throttle to decrease speed.
Fully close the throttle and pull brake levers smoothly.
After reaching the parking position:
Reset the turn signal switch, and turn the ignition switch off to stop the engine.
To park the scooter, please refer to page 26,
“Side Stand” and “Main Stand”.
Turn the handlebar to the left and lock the handlebar (page 19).

position,
even though the TCS indicator goes on in this condition, the traction control system is turned on.
When traction control is intervening, you may notice changes in engine response or exhaust sound.
This traction control system cannot detect sideward slide in the rear wheel while cornering.
The traction control system does not prevent falls while cornering.
If the scooter is trapped in mud, sand or other soft surfaces, turn off the traction control system to free the
scooter.
If it is necessary to ride on low grip surfaces, such as gravel pavement, turn off the traction control system
and carefully open throttle to allow the scooter to move on.
Use only standard size tires. The traction control system will not work properly with non-standard size
tires.
NOTE :
Do not turn off the traction control system and rev the engine when the scooter is on its main stand. The
traction control system will be disabled and need to be reset.
CAUTION:
Traction control cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe
riding practices. Be aware of how the traction control system operates and its limitations. It is the
rider’s responsibility to ride at appropriate speeds and manner for weather, road surface and traffic
conditions.
Traction control cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns,
accelerating abruptly at a sharp slope, or while braking, and cannot prevent front wheel slipping.
