Ducati Panigale V4 R User Manual

The choice of level  depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/path (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road). Poor grip requires
a higher level that ensures a more aggressive DTC
intervention.
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path features bends all taken at similar
speeds, it will be easier to find a level suitable for all
bends; while a track/path with bends all requiring
 speeds will require a DTC level  that
is the best compromise for all bends.
Level depends on riding style
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding style, where the motorcycle is leaned over
 rather than with a "rough“ style” where the
motorcycle is straightened up as quickly as possible
when exiting a turn.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend that level 6 is used for a couple of
full laps in order to heat the tyres and get used to the
system. Then try levels 6, 5, 4, etc., in succession
until you identify the DTC sensitivity level that suits
you best.
Once you have found a satisfactory  for all the
corners except one or two slow ones, where the
system tends to kick in and control too much, you can
try to modify your riding style slightly to a more
"rough" approach to cornering i.e. straighten up
more rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of
immediately trying a  level 
Tips for use on the road
We recommend level 8 be used in order to get used
to the system. If the level of DTC intervention seems
aggressive, try reducing the  to levels 5, 4,
etc., until you find the level that suits you best.
If changes occur in the grip conditions and/or circuit
characteristics and/or your riding style, and the level
 is no longer suitable, switch to the next level
up or down and proceed to determine the best
 (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention
seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on
level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention,
switch to level 8).

With the Pit Lane Speed Limiter enabled, the
DTC does not work.
