to confirm the number, press the reset button (12, fig. 12);
Repeat the procedure until inserting the fourth digit;
press the reset button (12, fig. 12) Again to confirm.
If the code is incorrect, the instrument panel will return to the four dashes " - - - - " indication in order to enter the code again.
Note
There is no limit to the number of times the code can be re-entered; the instrument panel will turn off automatically 120 seconds after an attempt to enter the code.
If the entered code was correctly, the message "correct" will flash on the display for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the instrument panel will return to the "normal" view (with all indications active).
From this moment, the vehicle can be started using the start button (key-on).
Note
The vehicle can be started until a key-off is performed; if the problem still persists upon the next starting attempt, repeat the procedure from the beginning in order to start the motorcycle "temporarily".
Important
If this procedure is necessary in order to start the vehicle, contact an authorised ducati service centre as soon as possible to fix the problem.
