E Operation When the ignition key is turned to OFF, the immobilizer inhibits engine operation. When the ignition key is turned back to ON to start the engine, the following happens: 1) if the CPU recognised the code, the CODE light on the instrument panel will flash briefly. This means that the immobilizer system has recognised the key code and enabled engine ignition. When you press the START button, the engine will start up. 2) If the CODE light stays on, it means that the code has not been recognised. When this is the case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try with another black key. If the other key does not work out either, contact the DUCATI Service network. 3) Should the CODE pilot light still be flashing, it means that an immobilizer system fault was reset (e.g. with the overriding procedure through throttle grip). Turn the key to OFF and back to ON, the immobilizer pilot light should go back to its normal operation (see point 1). Warning The keys accommodate electronic components inside. If dropped or hit, they might damage. Use only one key during the procedure. Failure to do so might prevent the system from recognizing the code of the key in use. Duplicate keys If you need any duplicate keys, contact the DUCATI Service network with all the keys you have left and your CODE CARD. DUCATI Service will program new keys and re-program your original keys, up to 8 keys in total. You may be asked to identify yourself as the legitimate owner of the motorcycle. Be sure you have any documents you might need to this end ready. The codes of any keys not submitted will be wiped off from the memory to make those keys unserviceable in case they have been lost. Note If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to give all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner. 22
