Electronic immobilizer
EWS
The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
steering and ignition lock. The
engine management system
does not enable engine starting
until this key is recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcycle.
A further key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you loss your vehicle key, you
can have it disabled by your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you. The engine can no longer
be started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Ignition keys are only available
through an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. The
keys are part of an integrated
security system, so the retailer is
under an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
