will not be able to register the
new level. If the sensor cannot
register the new level the range
display cannot be updated.
If the motorcycle is standing on
its side stand, the motorcycle's
inclined position will prevent the
fuel level from being registered
accurately. For this reason travel
range is only calculated with the
side stand retracted.
The determined range is
an approximate reading.
BMW Motorrad therefore recom-
mends that you do not try to use
the full range before refueling.
without onboard computer
The travel-range display does not
appear until the remaining fuel
falls to the reserve level.
with onboard computer
The average consumption em-
ployed to calculate the remaining
travel range does not appear in
the display and may vary from
the indicated average consump-
tion.

Ambient temperature

with onboard computer
Engine heat can lead to
spurious readings of ambi-
ent temperature when the mo-
torcycle is stationary. When the
effects of engine heat on the
monitored temperature become
OE
excessive the display responds
by temporarily reverting to
the display reading.
When ambient temperatures
drop below 37°F (3°C) the tem-
perature display responds by
flashing a warning indicating pos-
sible ice formation on the road
OE
surface. The display automat-
ically switches from any other
mode to the temperature read-
ing when the temperature drops
below this threshold for the first
time.
