Immobilizer System - Ducati hipermotard 2016 Owner's Manual

Immobilizer system

For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic
system that inhibits engine operation whenever the
ignition switch is turned off.
Housed in the handgrip of each ignition key is an
electronic device that modulates an output signal.
When the ignition is turned on this signal is generated
by a special antenna incorporated in the switch and
changes every time.
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 acknowledgment.
