DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on/off
function
Warning
DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and
the road.
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, in accordance with the road conditions, the
laws of physics, good riding standards and the requirements
of the road traffic code.
This function activates and deactivates the DTC (Ducati
Traction Control).
To display the function, enter the “setting” menu page 50
and access the “DTC” page.
In the next display, press the reset button (14. fig. 5) showing
“ON / OFF”.

Note
Deactivating the DTC automatically activates the
previously described “warning” “DTC OFF”. If a battery is
cutoff, when the voltage is restored and at the next Key-On,
the DTC will always be set automatically to “OFF”.
