Stability Check (Only in Street Mode)
During the first 20-60 seconds after the system is activated, the system remains disarmed
while it performs a stability check with a flashing green indication (11a). During this period
the system is looking for the body to conduct one or all of the following activities:
• Walking (including up and down stairs)
• Mounting the motorcycle
• Riding the motorcycle
If the check is passed a solid green indication will be given (11a).
Note that the following activities are unlikely to pass the stability check:
• Closing the activation flaps without wearing the suit
• Standing still
• Running or other dynamic actions (such as sharp changes of direction or speed when
walking)
• Sitting down – INCLUDING on the motorcycle with the engine at idle
If after 60 seconds the system cannot see stable use it will give an error indication
by illuminating a single red indicator light (11c) in the LED Display (11). In this case the
garment must be unzipped and closed again to restart the stability check.
WARNING! you MUST ALWAYS check the LED Display (11) after the Stability Check
to confirm you have the solid green LED before starting to ride/using the Tech-
Air® airbag system. The system will not deploy if needed while the 20-60 second
Stability Check is proceeding and will not deploy if needed unless the Stability
Check registers no errors in the system, as indicated by a solid green indicator
light (11a).
