2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale S Owner’s Manual

The 2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale S is a beautiful, high-performance superbike that is the peak of Italian engineering and design. The Panigale S is a real work of art on two wheels, thanks to its cutting-edge technology and aerodynamic beauty. It has a powerful 1198cc Superquadro L-Twin engine that can put out a jaw-dropping 195 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful production bikes of its time. The advanced electronics package, which includes Ducati Traction handle (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), makes sure that the bike is stable and easy to handle even when the rider is pushing it to its limits. Its monocoque frame and single-sided swingarm give it even more speed and control, so riders can use this track-focused machine to its fullest. The 2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale S is a great example of Ducati’s commitment to pushing the limits of performance and engineering. Whether it’s cutting corners on the racetrack or getting people’s attention on the street, it gives riders a unique and adrenaline-pumping experience.

Instrument panel (Dashboard)

Instrument panel

1. Display.
2. NEUTRAL LIGHT N (GREEN).
   Comes on when in neutral position.
3. HIGH BEAM LIGHT (BLUE).
   It turns on to indicate that the high-beam lights are on and when the flasher is activated.
4. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT (RED).
   Comes on when engine oil pressure is too low. It must turn on at Key-On but must turn off a few seconds after the engine has started. It may shortly come on when the engine is hot, however, it should go out as the engine revs up.
5. FUEL WARNING LIGHT (AMBER YELLOW).
   Comes on when fuel is low and there are about 5 litres of fuel left in the tank.
6. TURN INDICATOR LIGHTS (GREEN).
   Illuminates and flashes when the turn indicator is in operation.
7. “ENGINE/VEHICLE DIAGNOSIS – EOBD” LIGHT (AMBER YELLOW).
   It turns on in the case of “engine” and/or “vehicle” errors and in some cases will lock the engine.
8. GENERAL WARNING LIGHTS (RED).
   the lights (8a) turn on when RPM value reaches the first threshold before the rpm limiter kicks in; the lights (8b) turn on when RPM value reaches the
   second threshold before the rpm limiter kicks in; the lights (8c) turn on when RPM value reaches the third threshold before the rpm limiter kicks in.
9. ABS LIGHTS (AMBER YELLOW).
   This turns on to indicate that ABS is disabled or not functioning.

    The Riding modes available for the 1199 Panigale are: Race, Sport and Wet. Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customise any settings.

12. Power Mode
    The Power Modes are the different engine maps the rider can select to change power level and delivery to suit his/her own riding style and surface conditions. For the 1199 Panigale there are three Power Modes, one for each Riding Mode:

• 120 HP with “smooth” delivery;
• 195 HP with “smooth” delivery;
• 195 HP with “instant” delivery.

Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is no mechanical connection between the throttle twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows you to obtain different power level and delivery according to the selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).

Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES)
The Ducati Electronic Suspension system by Öhlins automatically adjusts the rebound and compression damping. This allows the rider to set the suspensions in a different way according to the selected Riding Mode or to customise any setting according to his/her own riding style.

Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises the rear wheel slipping control and settings vary through eight different levels that are programmed to offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping. Each Riding Mode features a preset intervention level.
Level eight indicates system intervention whenever a slight slipping is detected, while level one is for very expert riders because it is less sensitive to slipping and intervention is hence more rare.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9ME
ABS 9ME system fitted to 1199 Panigale is a two-channel latest-generation system that actuates combined braking with anti lift-up function for the rear wheel so as to guarantee not only a reduced stopping distance, but also a higher stability under braking. ABS 9ME system is specifically calibrated for sport use, and features 3 different levels of intervention, one per Riding Mode. In RACE mode the system only works on the front discs to ensure top performance for track use.

Engine Brake Control (EBC)
The engine brake control system (EBC) works together with the slipper clutch to avoid and control the rear wheel lockup during aggressive downshifting.
If the system detects wheel slipping, it sends a signal to the engine control unit to slightly increase engine rpm until the rear wheel speed is again consistent with vehicle speed.
EBC features a three-tiered operating system and is integrated in the three Riding Modes.

Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the electronic shifter control system used for racing purposes that allows the rider to shift up under acceleration without using the clutch and keeping the throttle open: this results in lower shifting time and hence faster lap time.

Ducati Data Analyzer+ (DDA+)
DDA+ is the latest generation of the Ducati Data Analyzer, with built-in GPS signal to create a “virtual finish line”. The system automatically detects lap end and stops the lap timer, without the rider needing to do anything. Thanks to the built-in GPS signal, it also shows the trajectories on track map and the key vehicle parameters: throttle opening, speed, rpm, gear engaged, engine temperature, DTC intervention.

   The turn indicators cancel button may also be used for the CONFIRM MENU function, for selecting the riding style. Press this button for 3 seconds to the left side to activate the “Hazard” function (all 4 turn indicators).

How to set/display parameters
When it is switched on, the instrument panel displays the DUCATI Logo and turns on the LED warning lights in two steps (“initial check”).
At the end of the check, the instrument panel displays the main Screen in ROAD or TRACK mode (it depends on the last configuration in use before the key-off).

If the bike is equipped with the Performance exhaust system kit (part no. 96450211B) or the Performance silencer kit (part no. 96450311B), when the instrument panel is switched on, after the Ducati logo, it displays the text “RACING” or “RACING EVO”:

• RACING when the vehicle is equipped with the Performance silencer kit;
• RACING EVO when the vehicle is equipped with the Performance complete exhaust system kit.

Warning
The Performance exhaust kit (part no. 96450211B) and Performance silencer kit (part no. 96450311B) must be installed at a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

During this check stage, if the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (actual speed), the instrument panel will stop:

• the display check routine and display the Standard Screen containing updated information;
•  the warning light check routine and leave on only the warning lights that are actually active at the moment.

Note
When turning the key to OFF, vehicle power is
cut only after 70 seconds and not immediately.
Two different main page layouts are available: ROAD and TRACK.
Data displayed on the main screen are as follows:

1. Rpm bargraph.
2. Vehicle speed.
3. Gear engaged.
4. Menu 1 (Odometer, Trip 1, Trip 2, Trip Fuel, Lap time – only if active).
5. Menu 2 (Engine coolant temperature, Instantaneous fuel consumption, Average fuel consumption, Average speed, Trip time, Ambient air temperature).
6. Set Riding Mode.
7. DTC level indication (ON) or DTC OFF indication.
8. EBC level indication (ON) or EBC OFF indication.
9. DQS ON indication or DQS OFF indication.
10. ABS ON/OFF indication.
11. DDA ON indication.
12. GPS receiving indication (if fitted).
13.  Clock.
14. SERVICE indication (only if active) – Alarm /Warning indication (only if present) – Error indication (only if present).
