Vespa GTS 300 HPE - Owner's Manual > Saddle opening remote control
The vehicle is equipped with a remote control to open the saddle and for the recognition of the vehicle itself.
This remote control is supplied together with the keys and it has been programmed to control the opening device control unit at the manufacturing stage. If the remote control is lost, a new one can be requested and programmed.
- By pressing the buttons "1" or "2" of the remote control for about 3 seconds, the "Bike Finder" device will allow the opening at a distance of the saddle and the recognition of the vehicle with an optical signal by flashing the turn indicator. While holding one of the two buttons, the system will continue to repeat the operation described above until the button is released.
- By instead pressing the buttons "3" or "4" of the remote control, the "Bike Finder" device will be only activated for the recognition of the vehicle by emitting quick optical signals through the turn indicator.
The remote control is powered by internal batteries that get discharged after extended used; If the LED turns on when the button is pressed, the remote control is working properly.
You may need to replace the batteries if the remote control fails or if its range of operation is reduced. To separate the two halves of the remote control, insert the blade of a plain slot screwdriver at one point on the edge and slide it all around.
Once the remote control is open, remove the two batteries from the contact terminal.
Install the two new CR2016 batteries with the positive pole facing the contact terminal.
Reassemble the remote control by pressing the two clip-on halves gently with your fingers.
Remote control programming
To program the new radio commands, do the following:
1. disconnect the battery of the vehicle;
2. reconnect the battery of the vehicle;
3. within 5 seconds of reconnecting the battery, simultaneously press buttons "1" and "3" on the remote control twice. the "Bike Finder" device will confirm the process with an optical signal by the quick flashing of the turn indicator;
4. the programming of the new radio command generates the end of the procedure and the system is ready for use.
If it is necessary to erase a radio command from the memory of the device, it will be necessary to repeat the programming 4 times even with the same remote control, in order to recover the 4 provided memories.

FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THESE OPERATIONS WITHIN THE INDICATED TIMES WILL RESULT IN THE REMOTE-CONTROL UNIT KEY PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE BEING ABANDONED AUTOMATICALLY.
