Ducati MULTISTRADA 1200S ABS 2015 Workshop Manual page 473

ABS
The motorcycle is equipped with ABS, the instrument panel indicates ABS status (on or off) by switching off, on or
flashing the ABS warning light.
The instrument panel displays:
- if the ABS is active, the message "ABS" and the rectangle with the set intervention level number (1 to 3)
steady ON;
- if ABS is active, but system is in degraded operation due to a fault (no "cornering" feature"), ABS lettering,
the ABS intervention level number, 1 to 8 (flashing) and the relevant rectangle; also the ABS warning light
starts flashing;
- if there is a fault in the system, the ABS lettering will flash.
Considering that the FULL, CORE and OFF ROAD layouts show the values for this function in a similar to the TRACK
layout, the example shown depicts the function in TRACK layout.
If ABS is disabled, the instrument panel will display ABS OFF indication and ABS light will be steady on.
Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions is the hardest – and yet the most critical - skill to master for a
rider. Braking is one of the most difficult and dangerous moments when riding a two wheeled motorcycle: the
possibility of falling or having an accident during this difficult moment is statistically higher than any other
moment. A locked front wheel leads to loss of traction and stability, resulting in loss of control.
