Engine rpm indicator (RPM)
The instrument panel receives the engine rpm information and displays it on the relevant paragraph. The information is displayed by the bar graph filling from the left to the right according to the engine rpm and with the negative display (switching OFF of the digit and switching on of its rectangle) of the numerical digit of the relevant miles.
When reaching 12,000 rpm no numerical digit must be displayed in negative.
The rev limiter threshold indicated by the red warning light switching on is:
1st threshold 10,900 rpm.

Note
If the instrument panel does not receive the engine RPM value, the bar graph lower bar and all numerical values will flash.

Motorcycle speed
The instrument panel receives information about the actual motorcycle speed (calculated in km/h) and displays the value increased by 5% and converted in the set unit of measurement (km/h or mph).
A string of dashes “- – -” is displayed with the set unit of measurement if:

• speed is equal to 299 km/h or 186 mph or if the instrument panel is not receiving the speed value (“- – -” steady ON);
• the rear speed sensor is in fault (“- – -” flashing and SPEED error displayed).

Gear

The instrument panel receives information about the gear engaged and displays the corresponding value.
If a gear is engaged, the displayed value may range from “1” to “6”, while if in neutral “N” is displayed. The letter “C” is displayed when the system requires you to shift gear.
A string of dashes “- -” is displayed if:

• gear teach-in has not been carried out yet (“- -” flashing and Neutral light (A) blinking);
• the gear sensor is in fault (“- -” steady on and GEAR error displayed);
• the instrument panel is not receiving the gear data (“–” steady ON).

Gear sensor learning
During the gear learning procedure to be performed on the motorcycle, the operator is guided by the displayed information.
The instrument panel indicates the saved gear and prompts the operator to proceed with the next gear. When the instrument panel displays letter “C” instead of the gear number and switches the Neutral “N” warning light on, both flashing quickly, it is necessary to shift gear.

Riding Mode (RIDING MODE)

The Riding Mode can be selected from the instrument panel. Three preset riding modes are available: RACE, SPORT, WET.
The selected and active riding mode is displayed on the Standard screen of the instrument panel. Every Riding Mode contains the following parameters, set by Ducati or customised by the user through the setting function pages:

• a specific level of intervention for the DTC traction control (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, OFF);
• a specific engine power that will change throttle behavior (HIGH, MED, LOW);
• a specific ABS calibration (1, 2, 3, OFF);
• a specific level of intervention of the EBC engine brake control system (1, 2, 3, OFF);
• the activation or deactivation of the quick shifter DQS (DQS ON or DQS OFF).

Attention
Ducati recommends changing the Riding when the motorcycle is stopped. If the riding mode is changed while riding, be very careful (it is recommended to change the Riding mode at a low speed).

Selecting the Riding Mode
Press CONFIRM MENU button (4) to enter the menu for selecting the Riding Mode. The instrument panel displays the name of the Riding Modes in the Standard screen:

• RACE
• SPORT
• WET
  One of them will be marked with an arrow near its name to indicate the last memorized condition that is currently active.

Attention
It is not possible to open the menu for selecting the riding mode if button (4) is in the position for activating the turn indicators (to the left or right)

The stored settings may be the factory ones (Ducati default settings) or the ones customized by the owner. Every time the MENU CONFIRMATION button (4) is pressed, the instrument panel highlights in sequence the riding modes.
Once the desired riding mode is highlighted, confirm the selection by holding down the CONFIRM MENU button (4) for 2 seconds: the new riding mode selection is stored and the Standard screen is displayed.
Once the desired riding mode is highlighted, if the CONFIRM MENU button (4) is not pressed within 10 seconds, the new riding mode selection is not stored and the Standard screen is displayed.

When the system requests the rider to confirm the riding mode change, the procedure will output an error if:

• the throttle twistgrip is open, brakes are activated and the motorcycle is not still; in this case “CLOSE GAS” and “DON’T BRK” warnings flash on the display in MENU 1 and MENU 2, by alternating each writing every second.
  If within 5 seconds the throttle is not closed, the brakes are not released or the motorcycle is not stopped (zero speed), the procedure for changing riding mode will not be completed and the Standard screen is displayed.

Note
If the change of riding mode is associated with the ABS change of state from “ON” to “OFF” or vice-versa, the instrument panel also starts the procedure for disabling or activating the ABS, respectively, upon confirmation of the selected riding mode.
If at least one error is present upon Riding Mode change, priority is given to messages “CLOSE GAS” and “DON’T BRK”, and the relevant Warning symbol will flash.

DTC
The instrument panel displays DTC status as follows:

• if DTC is active, DTC indication and the rectangle with the Traction Control intervention level number (1 to 8) will be displayed steady on;

• if DTC is in fault or the Black Box is in fault, DTC indication and the rectangle with the flashing “–” symbol; the DTC light turns steady on as well and the corresponding error is displayed.

Attention
In case of a system malfunction, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

Attention
DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and the road. The system is designed to make riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to drive responsibly and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or those of other road users, through making emergency maneuvers, in accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic code.
The rider must always be aware that active safety systems have a preventive function. The active elements help the rider control the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The presence of an active safety system should not encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond reasonable limits, not in accordance with the road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements of the road traffic code.
