The Immobilizer System; Keys - Ducati MONSTER S2R Owner's Manual

The immobilizer system

For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system
that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition
switch is turned off.
In the handgrip of each ignition key is an electronic
device that modulates the output signal from a special
E
antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On.
The modulated signal represents the "password"
(which is changed at each start-up) by which the CPU
recognizes the ignition key. Only if it is recognized does
the CPU allow the engine to start.
Keys (fig. 7)
The Owner receives a set of keys, comprising:
- 1 key A (RED)
- 2 keys B (BLACK)
Warning
The red key (A) has a rubber sleeve to keep it in
perfect condition, and prevent contact with other keys.
Never remove this protection unless absolutely necessary.
The B keys are regular ignition keys and are used to:
- start the engine
- open the lock on the fuel tank filler plug
- open the seat lock.
The A key performs the same functions as the B keys,
and can also be used to reset and re-program other black
keys if necessary.
