Service Display; Fuel Reserve - BMW Motorrad R 1200GS Adventure 2016 Rider's Manual

Service display

If the time remaining until the
next service is within one month,
or if the next service is due
within 621 mls (1000 km),
service date 1 and the remaining
kilometers (mileage) 2 appear for
a short period of time after the
Pre-Ride-Check.
When a service date
elapses without service, the
general warning light lights up
in yellow, appearing together
with the date and mileage
(kilometrage) display. The
"Service" message is displayed
continuously.
NOTICE
If the service display appears
more than a month before the
service date, the stored date
must be adjusted in the instru-
ment cluster. This situation can
occur if the battery has been dis-
connected for a longer time.
Consult a certified workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer, for
setting of the date.

Fuel reserve

The fuel level in the fuel tank,
when the fuel warning lamp
switches on, depends on the
driving dynamics. The more
the fuel is moved within the
tank (due to frequently changing
inclined positions, frequent
braking and accelerating), the
more difficult it is to determine
the reserve quantity. For this
reason, the reserve quantity
cannot be accurately indicated.
After the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, the range is
automatically displayed.
The distance, which can still be
driven with the reserve quantity,
depends on the driving style (on
the consumption) and on the fuel
level when the warning lamp was
initially activated (see the expla-
nation above).
The odometer for the fuel re-
serve is reset if the fuel level af-
ter refueling is greater than the
reserve quantity.
