OPERATION
Version 2:
Turn handlebars to left.
Press and hold button 1.
Light is turned off.
Steering lock is locked.
EWS Electronic immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronics
monitor the data stored in the
radio-operated key through a
ring antenna in the radio-oper-
ated lock. The engine control
unit does not enable an engine
start until the radio-operated
key has been recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.
An additional radio-op-
erated key attached to
the same ring as the radio-op-
erated key used to start the
engine could "irritate" the elec-
tronics, in which case the en-
abling signal for the engine
start is not issued.
Always keep the radio-oper-
ated keys separate from each
other.
If you lose a radio-operated
key, you can have it disabled by
your authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer. For this purpose, you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining ignition
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.
Ignition keys can only be
obtained from an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. As the
radio-operated keys are part of
an integrated safety system, the
retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy.
Battery of radio-operated key
is dead or radio-operated key
is lost
If you lose your keys, refer
to the notes regarding the
electronic immobilizer (EWS).
If you lose the radio-operated
key while riding, you can start
the vehicle by using the spare
key.
If the battery of the radio-op-
erated key is dead, you can
start the vehicle by touching
the rear wheel cover with the
radio-operated key.
