Entering PIN CODE function for vehicle release
E
This function turns on the motorcycle "temporarily" in the
case of HF (Hands Free) system "malfunctions".
To activate the function, press the "emergency" Hands Free
button (7, fig. 89) lifting the door (8, fig. 89) if the motorcycle
cannot be turned on using the normal starter button.
Note
In the USA version the door (8, fig. 89) is not present
After pressing the button, the instrument panel activates
only the circular display (B, fig. 7) (and the backlighting) to be
able to enter the 4 digit PIN code.
Entering the code:
each time you press the button (2, fig. 8) "▼" the displayed
number increases from "0" to "9" and then returns to "0";
to confirm the number, press the reset button (14, fig. 5);
repeat the procedure until inserting the fourth digit;
press the reset button (14, fig. 5) again to confirm.
If the code is incorrect, the instrument panel will return to the
initial indication in order to enter the code again.

Note
There is no limit to the number of times the code can
be re-entered; the instrument panel will turn off
automatically 120 seconds after an attempt to enter the
code.
If the code was entered correctly, the message "PIN OK"
will flash on the display for 4 seconds. After 4 seconds, the
instrument panel will return to the "normal" view (with all
indications active).
From this moment, the vehicle can be started using the start
button (Key-On).
Note
The vehicle can be started until a Key-Off is performed;
if the problem still persists upon the next starting attempt,
repeat the procedure from the beginning in order to start the
motorcycle "temporarily".
Important
If this procedure is necessary in order to start the
vehicle, contact an Authorised Ducati Service Centre as soon
as possible to fix the problem.
