Moto Guzzi V85 TT - Owner's Manual > Immobilizer system operation

Vehicle / MGCT system (Moto Guzzi Controllo Trazione) / Immobilizer system operation

For enhanced theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer system that is activated automatically when the ignition key is removed.

Keep the second key in a safe place since it is not possible to make a copy if it gets lost. This would imply replacing numerous parts of the vehicle (besides the locks).

Each key in the grip has an electronic device - transponder - which modulates the radio frequency signal emitted by a special aerial inside the switch when the vehicle is started.

The modulated signal is the "password" by which the appropriate central unit recognises the key and only after this occurs, it allows the engine start-up.

CAUTION

THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM CAN MEMORISE UP TO FOUR KEYS.

DATA STORAGE CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A DEALER.

DATA STORAGE PROCEDURE CANCELS THE EXISTING CODES. THEREFORE, IF A CUSTOMER WANTS TO PROGRAM SOME NEW KEYS, S/HE SHOULD GO TO THE DEALER TAKING ALL THE KEYS S/HE WANTS TO ENABLE.

In the event the instrument panel detects a fault with the immobilizer system when the key is connected, you will need to enter the user code to start the motorcycle. At the same time the indicator light appears on the instrument panel, the general red warning light will come on.

Vehicle

Once the code has been correctly entered, the error will be displayed on the screen.

You can then start up the motorcycle and go immediately to an Authorised Moto Guzzi Dealership.

CAUTION

PRESSING OR MOVING ANY CONTROL ON THE LEFT SWITCH CLUSTER, IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE ERROR NOTIFICATION SCREEN, BUT THE SCREEN WILL BE VISIBLE AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

 Moto Guzzi V85 TT - Owner's Manual > MGCT system (Moto Guzzi Controllo Trazione)

The MGCT system is a device that helps the rider during acceleration in manoeuvres with the aim to increase the stability of the vehicle, especially on slippery surfaces or in conditions that can cause sudden slippage of the rear wheel. In these situations, the MGCT automatically intervenes by reducing engine output within the limit imposed by the grip conditions, contributing significantly to the maintenance of stability of the vehicle. The rider is entirely responsible for riding at an appropriate speed in relation to the weather, road conditions, vehicle load and state of the tyres, and allowing for an adequate margin of safety, taking into consideration that the physical limits of vehicle grip on the road never have to be exceeded. Under no circumstances can MGCT compensate for any rider error or improper use of the throttle.
