Moto Guzzi V85 TT - Owner's Manual > Alarms

In the event of a fault, the digital display will show the cause.

Contact an Authorised Moto Guzzi Dealer as soon as possible.

SERVICE ALARM

In case of failure found in the instrument panel or in the electronic control unit, the instrument panel signals the failure by displaying the word SERVICE and the red general warning light turns on.

If there is an immobilizer failure at ignition, the instrument panel requests you to enter a user code. If the code is entered correctly, the instrument panel signals the failure by displaying the word SERVICE and the red general warning light turns on.

URGENT SERVICE ALARM

A serious failure is signalled by a fast flashing (two flashes per second) of the general warning light and by the words URGENT SERVICE on the digital display. Contact an Authorised Moto Guzzi Dealer as soon as possible. In these cases, the ECU activates a safety procedure limiting vehicle performance in order to allow the rider to go to an Authorised Moto Guzzi Dealer at a reduced speed. Depending on the type of failure, performance can be limited in three ways: a) by reducing the maximum torque produced; b) by keeping the engine at idle speed but slightly accelerated (during this operation, the throttle control is disabled); c) the engine rpm is steady at around 3000 rpm; Under these conditions the throttle control provides limited management of the torque.
