Ducati Diavel Service Manual: How to turn the motorcycle off
To turn the motorcycle off, turn the switch from "run on" to "run off". The engine stops. To switch the dashboard off, push the on/off switch downwards. When released, the switch automatically returns to the "run off" position.
Push the switch downwards to switch the engine off and enter "run off" state.
Push the switch downwards to switch off the dashboard. The dashboard can only be switched off if the vehicle is stationary (speed = 0 km/h).
If the vehicle is still in motion, the dashboard remains on (for example, if the motorcycle is coasting downhill with the engine off).
To force dashboard power off, even with the vehicle in motion, press the on/off button on the hands free module once.
After the dashboard is switched off, the system remains active for 60 seconds awaiting a request to engage the steering lock or open the electric fuel tank cap (optional).
How to engage and disengage the steering lock
The steering lock may be engaged within 60 seconds of switching the dashboard off. If more than 60 seconds have elapsed since switching the dashboard off, the dashboard must be switched on and off again (the key must be detected and recognised).
Turn the handlebar completely to the left or right. Push the on/off switch on the handlebar downward or press the button on the hands free system; the steering lock audibly engages.
If, for any reason, the steering lock does not work correctly, the lock pin is automatically retracted (and the steering lock disengaged) after a few seconds.
To disengage the steering lock, simply push the on/off switch on the handlebar downward or press the button on the hands free system with the key within operating range. The dashboard switches on and the steering lock is automatically disengaged.
When the vehicle is switched off (engine and dashboard) and with the handlebar
positioned correctly for steering lock
activation (turned fully right or fully left), the following icon is shown on
the dashboard for 5 seconds to indicate that the
steering lock may be disengaged. To engage the steering lock, simply push the
on/off switch on the handlebar downward
or press the button on the hands free system.
