possible dangers generated by objects or subjects in
the environmental context by adopting a prudent
behaviour. Riders must be cautious in their
behaviour, in when making approach
manoeuvres to other vehicles, making turns and
braking appropriate to the circumstances and
preventing incorrect or imprudent driving behaviour
by others.
Any reference to the speed of the motorcycle in this
Owner's Manual, whether it refers to km/h or miles
per hour, must be understood as exclusively
illustrative of the characteristics and warnings on the
specific of the Blind Spot Detection
(BSD) system. The rider of the motorcycle is
responsible for riding the vehicle always within the
speed limits prescribed by the road
regulations in force in the country in which s/he is
riding, and in any case in full compliance with the
caution required by the type and state of the road s/
he is travelling and the environmental conditions in
which s/he is riding.
The Blind Spot Detection helps the rider to monitor
the areas behind the motorcycle and, in
the so-called blind spots.
The function is also known by its acronym BSD, Blind
Spot Detection.
The blind spot is an area behind the rider where a
vehicle could hypothetically be located, which is not
visible to the rider while riding, despite the use of the
rear-view mirror. This presence constitutes a serious
danger of side impact if, for example, the rider
initiates an manoeuvre (or a lateral
or braking) when the vehicle in the blind spot is
arriving.
The motorcycle is equipped with two radars: a front
and a rear one. The BSD uses the information from
the rear radar. The BSD system, within the limits of
the system (including the system technological
limits, as specified in System functional limits),
the rider to the presence of vehicles that are in
the blind spots or approaching them.
The warning to the rider is given by the lighting of
special LEDs located on the rear-view mirrors. The
LED on the mirror provides the indication
referred to the blind spot; the LED on the right
mirror provides the indication referred to the right
blind spot.
Depending on the situation, the function can
provide two levels of signalling: information warning
