Electronic immobiliser

The electronic design of the
motorcycle allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key by
means of a ring antenna located
in the ignition switch. The engine
control unit will only allow the en-
gine to be started if the key is
identified as "authorised".
NOTICE
A spare key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in
which case the enabling signal
for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning appears in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose a key, you can have
it barred by your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. If you
wish to do this, you will need
to bring all other keys for the
motorcycle with you.
The engine cannot be started by
a barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain extra keys
only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The
keys are part of an integrated
security system, so the dealer is
under an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
