STARTING
WARNING
This is a high-performance vehicle. We recommend that you become familiar with it gradually using the greatest care.
Do not store any objects on the inside of the headlight fairing (between the handlebar and the instrument panel) as this could impair handlebar movement or hide the instrument panel from your vision.
NOTE Before starting the engine, carefully read section "Safe Riding", see page 5 (SAFE RIDING).
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is extremely toxic if inhaled. Do not start the engine in an enclosed space or poorly ventilated area. Failure to observe this warning may lead to loss of consciousness or even death by asphyxia.
NOTE With the side stand down, the engine can be started only if the gear is in neutral; if you attempt to engage a gear with the stand down, the engine will stop. With the side stand up, you can start the engine in neutral or with a gear engaged and the clutch lever pulled in. u Sit astride the vehicle, see page 44 (GETTING ON AND OFF THE
VEHICLE). u Make sure the stand is fully up. u Make sure that the dimmer switch (1) is in position " ". u Set the engine stop switch (2) to position " ". u Turn the key (4) and set the ignition switch to position " ".
The following occurs:
√ the parking lights come on; √ all warning lights on the instrument panel come on; √ the LCD will show "Moto Guzzi" wording for 2 seconds; √ the speed indicator and fuel gauge indexes reach end of scale, rpm index moves to max. set value; √ as soon as the first check routine is over, the warning lights go off, the instruments indicate the current value and the LCD displays the configuration set on the selector; √ the fuel pump puts the feed circuit under pressure and hums for approximately three seconds.
CAUTION
If the low fuel warning light " " (5) on the instrument panel comes on, it means that there are 4 litres of fuel left in the tank. Refuel as soon as possible, see page 32 (FUEL).

NOTE Hold the clutch lever (6) completely pulled until the engine starts. NOTE In case of low ambient temperature (close to or lower than 0°C √ 32 °F), see page 49 (STARTING THE ENGINE FROM COLD). u Press the starter button ≈ ∆ (3), do not accelerate, and immediately release it, the control unit will manage the starting procedure on its own. √ The low beam comes on. ! If the alarm light “ ” and the engine oil
pressure icon “ ” are still on, or come on during engine normal operation, it means that the oil pressure in the circuit is low.
u Keep at least one brake operated and do not accelerate until you are ready to move off.
CAUTION
Never move off abruptly with a cold engine. To reduce emissions and fuel consumption, ride slowly until covering several miles to warm the engine up to operating temperature.
CAUTION
! If the alarm LED “ ” and the “
SERVICE” diagnosis icon come on during engine normal operation, it means that the control unit has detected a failure. In most cases, the engine will keep running, although giving less performance. Immediately
contact a Moto Guzzi Authorised
Dealer. STARTING THE ENGINE FROM COLD
! The vehicle is fitted with an automatic cold start device and does not require any precaution for cold starting. In case of low ambient temperature (close to or lower than 0°C / 32°F), the automatic cold start switches on and increases the rpm until reaching optimum engine temperature and switches off automatically.
