Wheelie Mitigation

Wheelie mitigation is a feature that allows maximum acceleration while keeping the front wheel on or near the ground. The feature is active when the vehicle is in “Rain” or “Standard” ride modes, but not when the vehicle is in ‘Sport’ mode or the ABS/TC system is disabled.

NOTE

The wheelie mitigation feature cannot prevent the front wheel from losing contact with the ground in all situations.

If the wheelie mitigation feature is disabled and the front wheel loses contact with the road surface long enough to become stationary, a wheel speed sensor fault may be set.
If a fault code is set, the ABS/TC system will become deactivated and the display will illuminate the ABS/MTC lights. If this occurs, a power cycle will be required to re-initialize the ABS/MTC system.
