28
ride.
Do not continue your jour-
ney.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, prefer-

Engine-oil level too low
The "check oil level"
symbol appears on the
display.
z
The electronic oil-level sensor
has registered an excessively
low oil level.
Dipping the oil with the dip-
stick is the only way of ascer-
taining the exact engine-oil
level. The next time you stop
for fuel:
Checking the engine oil
level ( 95)
If the oil level is too low:
Topping up the engine oil
( 96)
The oil sensor might be
defective if the "Check oil
level" message appears even
though a check with the
dipstick reveals that the oil
level is correct.
Seek the advice of a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer.
Insufficient battery charge
current
General warning light
shows red.
Battery charge current
symbol appears on the
display.
A discharged battery can
result in the engine cut-
ting out unexpectedly, caus-
ing a hazardous situation.
Have faults rectified as soon
as possible.
If the battery is not char-
ging, continuing to ride
can cause it to discharge
completely, in which case it
will suffer irreparable damage.
If possible, do not continue
your journey.
Battery is not being charged.
You can continue to
ride until the battery is
discharged. Bear in mind,
however, that the engine
could cut out suddenly
and that the battery could
discharge until completely
flat, in which case it might
have suffered irreparable
damage.
