The immobilizer system
For additional anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system
that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition
switch is turned off.
The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device
that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in
the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated
signal represents the “password” (which is changed at each
start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The
ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognises this
password.
Keys

The owner receives a set of keys, comprising:
-

Notes
Your Ducati dealer may ask you to produce your

The black keys (B) are the keys for normal use, and are
used to:

shows their identification number.
