DTC
The instrument panel displays DTC status as follows:
- if DTC is active, the "DTC" and the rectangle with the Traction Control intervention level number (1 to 8);
- if DTC is active, but system is in degraded operation due to a fault, DTC lettering, the DTC intervention level
number from 1 to 8 (flashing) and the relevant rectangle; also the DTC/DWC warning light starts flashing;
- if DTC is not active, DTC OFF warning;
- if system is in fault, DTC lettering and the intervention level number (1 to 8) in orange.
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 DTC is in fault or the Black Box is in fault, the instrument panel will display "DTC" and "-" flashing and DTC/DWC
warning light will be steady on.
Warning
DTC is a rider aid that can be used on the track, on the road and off road. The system is designed to make riding
easier and to enhance safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to ride responsibly and maintain a
high standard of conduct in accordance with traffic laws so as to avoid accident or force emergency maneuvers,
whether caused by his own errors or those of other road users.
The rider must always be aware that active safety systems have a preventive function. The active elements help
the rider control the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The presence of an active safety
system should not encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond the reasonable limits, not in accordance with the
road conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements of the road traffic code.
The following table indicates the most suitable level of DTC intervention for the various riding modes as well as the
default settings in the "Riding Modes" that can be selected by the rider.
