Immobilizer system

To further improve the anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an engine electronic block system (IMMOBILIZER) that is automatically activated every time the instrument panel is switched off.
Inside of each key handgrip, there is an electronic device that modulates the signal sent by a special antenna integrated in the ignition switch upon starting.
The such modulated signal represents the “password”, that changes upon every start, which allows the control unit to acknowledge the key and thus start the engine.

Keys
The motorcycle comes with 2 keys.
They contain the “Immobilizer system code”. Keys (B) are those for standard use, i.e. to:

• start the engine;
• open the fuel tank plug;
• open the seat lock.

Attention
Separate the keys and use only one of the two to ride the bike.

Key duplication
When a customer needs spare keys, he/she shall contact a Ducati authorized service center and bring all keys he/she still has.
The Ducati-authorized service center will program all new and old keys.
The Ducati authorized service center may ask to the customer to prove to be the motorcycle owner. The codes of the keys missing during the programming procedure will be erased to ensure that any lost key can not start the engine.

Note
If the motorcycle owner changes, it is necessary that the new owner is given all keys.

Restoring motorcycle operation via the PIN CODE
In case of key acknowledgment system or key malfunction, the instrument panel allows the user to enter his/her own PIN code to temporarily restore motorcycle operation.
if the PIN CODE function is active, the instrument panel displays “Insert Pin” with four spaces allowing the rider to enter the digits of the Pin code to be entered. “0” and “- – -“.
Entering the code:

1. Each time you press the button (1) the displayed number increases by one (+ 1) up to “9” and then starts back from “0”;
2. Each time you press the button (2) the displayed number decreases by one (- 1) up to “1” and then starts back from “0”;
3. To confirm the number, press the button (4).

Repeat the procedures until you confirm all 4 digits of the PIN CODE.
When you press a button (4) to confirm the fourth and last digit:

• if there is a problem during the PIN code check, the instrument panel displays “ERROR” for 2 seconds and then passes to the standard screen.
• if the PIN is not correct, the instrument panel displays WRONG for 2 seconds and then goes back to the “Insert Pin” indication with spaces to enter again the four digits of the Pin code.
• if the PIN CODE is correct, the instrument panel shows CORRECT for 2 seconds, and then displays the “standard screen”.

Important
If this procedure is necessary in order to start the motorcycle, contact an Authorised Ducati Service Centre as soon as possible to fix the problem.
