Warnings/Alarms (WARNING)
The instrument panel manages a number of warnings / alarms, aimed at giving useful information to the rider during use.
Upon Key-On, if there are active warnings the instrument panel displays the indication of the present warnings.
During normal vehicle operation, when a warning is triggered the instrument panel automatically displays the warning. When a warning is triggered, the indication remains well visible for 10 seconds (“large” icon) then becomes smaller (“small” icon). If several live warnings are present, the corresponding icons will be displayed one after the other and every one will stay on for 3 seconds.
Attention
If one or several warnings are triggered and, at the same time, the Generic Error light turns on, the small warning icon is not displayed on instrument panel until the Generic Error light stays on; warnings will only be displayed within the first 10 seconds as a large-size icon.
Ice
This function warns the rider when there might be ice on the road, due to the low external temperature. This warning turns on when temperature drops to 4°C (39°F) and turns off when temperature rises to 6°C (43°F).
Attention
This warning does not eliminate the possibility of icy road areas even with temperatures above 4°C (39°F); when ambient temperature is “low”, ride responsibly, especially on road areas not exposed to sunlight and/or on bridges.
Low battery indication (LOW Battery)
This function warns the user that the status of the vehicle battery is low.
Warning is activated when battery voltage is approx. lower than/equal to 11.0 Volt.
Note
In this case, Ducati recommends charging battery in the shortest delay using the special instrument as engine could not be started.
Hands Free (HF) Key not acknowledged
The activation of this “warning” indicates that the Hands Free system does not detect the “active key” near the vehicle.
Note
In this case, Ducati recommends making sure that the active key is nearby (and that it was not lost) or that it works properly.
“Low” battery level of Hands Free (HF) key
The activation of this “warning” indicates that the Hands Free system has detected that the battery that permits the active key to communicate and turn the vehicle on is almost discharged.
Note
In this case, Ducati recommends changing battery in the shortest delay.
To change battery, refer to chapter “Keys”.
Date Setting
This function prompts the user to enter the date via the Setting Menu.
Note
In this case Ducati recommends to stop and enter the calendar date using the function “DATESET”.
Steering unlock error – Steering still locked
The activation of this “warning” indicates that the Hands Free System was not able to disengage the steering lock.
Attention
In this case, Ducati recommends switching vehicle off and on again (Key-Off / Key-On), keeping handlebar fully turned. If warning is still present (and steering does not “unlock”), contact a Ducati Authorised Service Centre.
Indication of fuel tank plug with electronic-controlled opening – accessory
If the fuel tank plug with electronic-controlled opening has been installed on the motorbike, a yellow information icon is displayed on the instrument panel to indicate when the electronic plug is open:
- When activated, it is displayed for the first 5 seconds in the large format;
- Then it is displayed in the small format.
If the instrument panel is turned on (key-on) while the plug is open, the icon will be active.
Error warnings
The instrument panel manages error warnings in order to allow the rider to identify any abnormal motorcycle behaviour in real time.
Upon Key-On, in case of errors, the instrument panel turns on the MIL light (B) (in case of errors directly connected to the engine control unit) or the Generic Error light (A) (in case of any other errors).
During normal operation, when an error is triggered, the instrument panel turns on the MIL light (B) or the Generic Error light (A).
Attention
When one or more errors are displayed, always contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
