E 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 (fig. 29) The owner receives a set of keys, comprising: - 2 black keys (B). These contain the "code" of the immobilizer system. Notes The two keys have a small tag (1) attached, which shows their identification number. Notes Your Ducati dealer may ask you to produce your Code Card in order to carry out certain servicing operations. The black keys (B) are the keys for normal use, and are used to: - start the engine; - open the lock on the fuel tank filler cap; - open the seat lock. B 1 40 fig. 29
