Ducati MULTISTRADA V4 User Manual

The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC)
supervises control of wheelie movement and
 vary through eight  levels that are
calibrated to  a  prevention and
reaction to wheelies. Each Riding Mode features a
pre-set intervention level. Level 8 indicates a 
that minimises motorcycle tendency to  up in a
wheelie and maximises reaction to the same, if it
occurs. While level 1 is for  riders and features
a lower wheelie control in terms of prevention and
less strong reaction to the same, if it occurs.
The DWC also assists the rider in stabilising the
vehicle dynamics at high speed by modulating the
torque delivered by the engine in a controlled
manner.
This assistance, which is normally not necessary,
could be useful, depending on the load, under
 unfavourable conditions such as worn
tyres, incorrect tyre inflation pressure, external
disturbances due to strong winds or uneven road

In these conditions, the DWC system assists the
rider by adjusting the vehicle acceleration. As with
other control systems, it does not, in any way, replace
the riders action.
In case of intervention of the DWC system for
wheelie control or for the stabilisation of the vehicle
dynamics, the warning light on the dashboard is lit.

DWC is a rider aid that can be used on both 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  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 
code.
