Instrument Panel Backlighting; Intelligent Headlight Switch-Off; Headlight "Smart" Switch-On - Ducati SUPERBIKE 848 EVO Owner's Manual

Instrument panel backlighting

The instrument panel backlighting is always activated by Key-
On.
The instrument panel is equipped with sensors that detect
the ambient light level and at night reduce the maximum
backlighting level by 20% to prevent glare.

Intelligent headlight switch-off

This function helps reduce battery use by automatically
switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in 3
cases:
- 1) When the key is turned from OFF to ON and the
engine is not started within 60 seconds, the headlight is
turned off and will be turned back on next time you start
the engine.
- in case 2, after the vehicle has been running with the
headlights on and the engine is stopped using the RUN-
STOP button on the RH switch.
In this case, 60 seconds after stopping the engine, the
headlight is turned off and will be turned back on next
time you start the engine.
- 3) While starting up the engine, the headlight is turned off
and back on as soon as the engine is started.

Headlight "smart" SWITCH-ON

This function allows programmed activation of the headlight
even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off).
The instrument panel stays active for 60 seconds soon after
Key-Off, and the headlight can be switched on by pressing
switch (1, fig. 8) in position B "▼".
During these 60 seconds, each time switch (1, fig. 8) is
pressed in position B "▼", the instrument panel will activate
the headlight for 30 seconds; each press will add to the
headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses of
switch (1, fig. 8) in position B "▼" (maximum activation time
of 180 seconds).
After the first time you press switch (1, fig. 8) in position B
"▼", the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching on the
headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you
press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the 30
seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds
can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the
headlight.
To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/
Key-Off.
If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this
function is active, when power is restored, the instrument
panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel does
not remain active for 60 seconds).
