Ducati Diavel Service Manual: On/off switch on handlebar

Introduction

The on/off switch on the handlebar is used to switch the dashboard on and off, if a key has been detected, and start the engine.

With the switch turned to "run off" (centre position), pushing downwards switches the dashboard on or off (activating the button inside the switch).
