Ducati Hypermotard 950 Owner's Manual page 48

If engine is not started upon key-on, it is anyway
possible to switch low/high beams on by pushing
button (7, Fig 21) positions (B) and (A), or flash with
button (3, Fig 21) on LH switch.
To preserve the motorcycle battery, if when starting
the engine the high/low beams or the DRL lights are
ON, the headlight is automatically switched off and
then on again when the engine is started.
