immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronic cir-
50
cuitry monitors the data stored in
the radio-operated key through a
ring antenna. The engine man-
agement system does not enable
engine starting until the radio-op-
erated key has been recognized
as "authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.

NOTICE
If a further key for the vehicle is
attached to the same ring as the
radio-operated key and used to
start the engine, this could impair
the electronics and prevent the
engine start signal from being is-
sued. The warning with the key
symbol appears in the multifunc-
tion display.
Always keep the other vehicle
key separate from the radio-oper-
ated key.
If you lose a radio-operated key,
you can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled radio-
operated key; however, a dis-
abled radio-operated key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer. As
the radio-operated keys are part
of an integrated security system,
the retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy.
