The motorcycle's electronic cir-
cuitry monitors the data stored in
the radio-operated key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
z
radio lock. The engine manage-
ment system does not enable
engine starting until the radio-op-
erated key has been recognized
as "authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.
NOTICE
If an additional ignition key is at-
tached to the same ring as the
radio-operated key used to start
the engine, this could affect the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for the engine
start is not issued. The warning
is displayed in the multifunction
display with the key symbol.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the radio-oper-
ated key.
If you lose a radio-operated key,
you can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled radio-
operated key; however, a dis-
abled radio-operated key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer. As
the radio-operated keys are part
of an integrated security system,
the retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy.
