Fuel Level; Fuel Reserve; Service-Due Indicator - BMW F 800 GS 2012 Rider's Manual

Fuel level

Due to the complex shape of the
fuel tank, it is impossible to de-
termine the fuel level when the
tank is approaching capacity. For
this reason, the fill-level indicator
only displays the bottom half of
the filling capacity in detail.
If the fill-level indicator reaches
1/2
the -mark 1, the fuel tank
is half-full. From then on, the
fill-level will be displayed more
precisely.
If the fuel reserve is reached, the
fuel warning light will come on.

Fuel reserve

The amount of fuel present in
the fuel tank when the fuel warn-
ing light is switched on is de-
pendent on vehicle dynamics.
The more the fuel moves in-
side the tank (due to regularly
changing angles of heel, fre-
quent braking and acceleration),
the more difficult it becomes to
determine the reserve volume.
For this reason, the fuel reserve
volume cannot be displayed ex-
actly.
with on-board computer
After the fuel warning light
comes on, the distance that
has travelled since this time is
displayed.
The distance that can still be
travelled using the reserve
volume depends on the style of
driving (usage) and the amount
of fuel remaining at the time the
light came on.
The odometer for the fuel re-
serve is reset when the amount
of fuel is greater than the reserve
volume.

Service-due indicator

OE
If the next service is due in less
than one month, the date for the
next service 1 is shown briefly
after the Pre-Ride Check com-
pletes. The month and year are
displayed with two and four di-
gits respectively, separated by a
colon. In the example, the display
represents "June 2013".
