Oil Level Indicator; Range - BMW R 1200 GS Rider's Manual

ever, the range 1 can also be
4
displayed before the fuel re-
serve is reached. To calculate
54
the range, a special average con-
sumption is used, which does not
always match the value that can
be shown on the display.
If the motorcycle is standing on
the side stand, the fuel level can-
not be correctly determined due
to the inclined position. For this
reason the range is only calculat-
z
ed while driving.
When refueling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top
up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. Otherwise neither the
fill level nor the range display can
be updated.
The determined range is an
approximate reading. BMW
Motorrad therefore recommends
that you do not try to use the full
range before refueling.

Oil level indicator

The oil level indicator 1 provides
information on the oil level in the
engine. It can only be displayed
when the motorcycle is stopped.
The conditions for the oil level
indicator are as follows:
Engine at operating tempera-
ture.
Engine idling for at least 30
seconds.
Side-stand retracted.
Motorcycle is vertical.
The readings mean:
OK : Oil level is correct.
CHECK
: Check oil level during
next refueling stop.
---
: No measurement possible
(above-mentioned conditions not
met).
If other information of the
onboard computer is dis-
played, this symbol continues to
be shown until the oil level is de-
tected as correct again.
The most recently measured
level is displayed for 5 seconds
when you next switch on the ig-
nition.
If, despite a correct oil lev-
el on the oil sight glass,
"Check oil level" continually ap-
pear on the display, the oil level
sensor may be defective. In this
case, please contact your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
