Operation
When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF, the
immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the
ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine:
1) if the code is recognised, the protection system releases
the engine lock. When you press the START (2, fig. 31)
switch, the engine will start up.
2) if the motorcycle diagnostics warning light (9, fig. 4)
comes on and if, when you press the button (1, fig. 8) in the
“
▼” position, the “Error IMMO” message appears on the
display, indicating that the code has not been recognised.
In this case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to
ON again. If the engine still does not start, try again with the
other black key. If the engine still does not start, contact
the DUCATI Service network.
Warning
Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components
inside the key.
Always use the same key throughout the procedure. Using
different keys could prevent the system from recognising
the code in the key.
Duplicate keys
If you need additional keys, contact your DUCATI Service
Centre with all the keys you have in your possession and
your CODE CARD.
The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new keys as
well as any keys you already have.
You may be asked to provide proof that you are the
legitimate owner of the motorcycle.
The codes for any keys not present during the memory
programming procedure are cancelled, to ensure that any
keys that may have been lost can no longer be used to
start the engine.
Notes
If you sell your motorcycle, do not forget to pass on all
the keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.
