Electronic immobiliser

(EWS)

The electronic design of the
motorbike allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key
by means of a ring antenna loc-
ated in the ignition switch. The
engine control unit will only allow
the engine to be started if the
key is identified as "authorised".
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the ig-
nition key used to start the en-
gine could "irritate" the electron-
ics, in which case the enabling
signal for starting is not issued.
EWS
The warning appears in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your 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 motor-
bike 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 emergency/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 replace-
ment/extra keys.
