Ducati MONSTER 2022, Owner'S Manual

Page: 128 / 240

The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises
the rear wheel slipping control and settings vary
through eight different levels that are calibrated to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel
slipping. Each Riding Mode features a pre-set
intervention level. Level 8 indicates system
intervention whenever a slight slipping is detected,
while level 1 is for off-road use and very expert riders
because it is less sensitive to slipping and
intervention is hence softer.
Attention
The DTC is a rider assist system. The system is
designed to make riding easier and to enhance
safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the
obligation to drive responsibly and to maintain a
high standard of riding in order to avoid accidents,
whether caused by his own errors or those of other
road users, through making emergency
manoeuvres, in accordance with the prescriptions of
the road traffic code.
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.
