UNLOCKING THE SECURITY SYSTEM
Your dealer will provide the master personal identification number (PIN) for the security system. Your dealer may also change the master PIN to a new rider PIN on your behalf.
Record both PINs on page 7.
Change the dealer-provided PIN to a PIN of your choosing as soon as possible after receiving delivery of your new motorcycle. See page 154.
If a key fob is not available, your rider PIN can be entered using the turn signal switches to unlock the security system. Use the following guide to enter your valid rider PIN.
| DIGIT TO ENTER | TURN SIGNAL FEATURE USED | PROCEDURE |
| The number “0” | CANCEL switch | Press and release |
| First digit (1-9) | LEFT turn switch | Move and release once per digit value. See the example below. |
| Second digit (1-9) | RIGHT turn switch | |
| Third digit (1-9) | LEFT turn switch | |
| Fourth digit (1-9) | RIGHT turn switch | |
| Example for entering the number 1024: LEFT – CANCEL – LEFT – LEFT – RIGHT- RIGHT- RIGHT- RIGHT | ||
CHANGING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM PIN
To change your PIN, you must have either the key fob or your existing valid PIN available to gain access to the security system. If the key fob is not detected or is not available and you cannot remember your PIN, please see your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.
Please read the entire procedure before beginning.
- Turn the power switch on. Do NOT start the engine. The security light and/or power switch will turn on briefly until the key fob is detected or until the valid, current PIN is entered.

NOTICE
On models with Infotainment Display, a pop-up window will appear during this procedure stating that the key fob is out of range. - Enter either the master PIN (see page 7) or your current 4-digit rider PIN within 20 seconds. If the PIN is successfully entered, the security light and/or power switch will remain on and the horn will sound briefly.
NOTICE
If the valid PIN is not entered within 20 seconds, the security light and/or power switch will flash for 10 seconds, then the system will shut down. Return to step 1 to try again. - Enter a new 4-digit security PIN of your choosing. If the PIN is successfully entered, the security light will remain on and the horn will sound briefly. Proceed to step 5.
NOTICE
If the 4-digit PIN is NOT successfully entered within 20 seconds, the security light will flash for 10 seconds, then the system exits the procedure. Return to step 1 to try again. - Re-enter the new 4-digit PIN. If this entry matches the first entry, the security light will turn off and the horn will sound briefly. The new rider PIN has been saved. Record your new rider PIN on page 7.
NOTICE
If the second entry is not entered within 20 seconds or does not match the first entry, the security light will flash for 10 seconds, then the system exits the procedure. The new PIN was NOT saved. Continue to use your former valid PIN. Return to step 1 to try again.
