Light Control - Ducati Diavel ABS 2012 Owner's Manual

Light control

Headlight control
This function allows you to reduce current
consumption from the battery by automatically
managing headlight switching-off.
At Key-On, the high beam and low beam lights are
off.
When the engine is started, the low beam lights turn
on automatically; from this moment, "normal"
operation is activated: it will be possible to switch
from low beam to high beam (using button 11, fig. 21)
or operate the "FLASH" signal (using button 11, fig.
21). If engine is not started at Key-On, the lights can
be switched on anyway by pushing the button on the
LH high/low beam switch (button 11, fig. 21); the low
beam lights are turned on the first time it is pressed;
from this moment, the same button can be used to
switch on (and off) the high beam light (if the engine
is not started within 60 seconds, the low beam or
high beam light that was turned on will turn off).
If the headlight was turned on before starting the
engine with the procedure described above, the
headlight turns off automatically when starting the
vehicle and will turn on again when the engine has
been completely started.
Turn indicators (automatic reset)
The dashboard controls the automatic reset of the
turn indicators.
After activating one of the two turn indicators, they
can be deactivated using the reset button (12, fig. 21).
If the turn indicator is not "reset" manually, the
dashboard will automatically switch it off after the
motorcycle has traveled 0.3 miles (500 m) from the
time the turn indicator was activated.
The counter for the distance traveled for automatic
deactivation is activated at speeds below 50 mph
(80 km/h).
If the calculation of the distance for automatic
deactivation is activated and then the motorcycle
exceeds a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h), the calculation
is interrupted and will restart when the speed returns
below the indicated threshold.
