Cruising Range; Electronic Oil-Level Check - BMW Motorrad R 1250RT Rider's Manual

3
46
If the motorcycle covers high
annual mileages then shorter
z
service intervals may be required.
If the countdown distance to
the early service is less than
621 miles (1000 km), countdown
distance 2 is displayed.
NOTICE
If the service display appears
more than a month before the
service date, the current day's
date must be reset in the in-
strument cluster. This situa-
tion can occur if the battery was
disconnected.

Cruising range

The range indicates the
travel distance available
with the remaining fuel. The av-
erage consumption employed
to calculate the remaining travel
range does not appear in the
display and may vary from the
indicated average consumption.
You must put at least five liters of
fuel into the fuel tank for the new
level to be registered correctly.
If the sensor cannot register the
new level the range display can-
not 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.
NOTICE
The determined range is
an approximate reading.
BMW Motorrad therefore
recommends that you do not
try to use the full range before
refueling.
Electronic oil-level
check

check provides informa-
tion on the oil level in the engine.
The following conditions must
be satisfied in order to use the

electronic oil-level check:

Engine at operating tempera-
ture.
Engine idling for at least ten
seconds.
