Immobilizer System - Ducati MULTISTRADA 950 Owner's Manual

Immobilizer system

To further improve the anti-theft protection, the
motorcycle is equipped with an engine electronic
block system (IMMOBILIZER) that is automatically
activated every time the instrument panel is
switched off.
The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic
device that modulates the output signal from a
special antenna in the headlight fairing when the
ignition is switched On. The modulated signal is the
"password", different upon every Key-On, used by
the control unit to acknowledge the key. Engine can
be started only after key acknowledgement.
