GENERAL NOTES

Warnings
WARNING
Operation of a smartphone while the
vehicle is in motion or when the engine
is running
Risk of accident
Observe the relevant road traffic regula-
tions.
Do not use while riding (except for ap-
plications without operation such as
telephony via the hands-free system).
WARNING
Distraction from traffic conditions and
loss of control
Risk of accident through the use of inte-
grated information systems and communi-
cation devices during the journey
Operate these systems or devices only if
the traffic situation allows.
If necessary, stop and operate the sys-
tem or devices at a standstill.
Connectivity functions
Connectivity functions include media, tele-
phony and navigation. Connectivity func-
tions can be used if the TFT display is con-
nected with a mobile end device and a hel-
met ( 75). You can find more informa-
tion about the Connectivity functions at:
bmw­motorrad.com/connectivity
If the fuel tank is between the mobile
end device and the TFT display, the
Bluetooth connection may be restricted.
BMW Motorrad recommends storing the
mobile end device above the fuel tank (e.g.
in the jacket pocket).
Depending on the mobile end device,
the scope of the Connectivity functions
may be limited.
BMW Motorrad Connected App
With the BMW Motorrad Connected App,
you can call up information about the vehicle
and usage. To use some features such as
navigation, the app must be installed on the
mobile end device and be connected to the
TFT display. The app starts the route guid-
ance and adapts the navigation. In addition
to the Bluetooth connection, the WiFi func-
tion must be activated on the mobile end
device.
On some mobile devices, e.g. with op-
erating system iOS, the BMW Motorrad
Connected App must be called up before us-
ing.
Notice concerning current status
After the editorial deadline, there may be
updates to the TFT display. For this reason,
some aspects of your motorcycle may vary
from the descriptions in these Operating
Instructions. Updated information at:
