228 ACCESSORIES
Special functions
Integration of the
BMW Motorrad Navig-
ator has produced a number
of deviations from the
descriptions in the operating
instructions for the Navigator.
Reserve fuel level warning
The settings for the fuel gauge
are not available, because the
reserve warning is transmitted
from the vehicle to the Navig-
ator. Touch the message when
it is active to view the locations
of the nearest filling stations.
Security settings
The BMW Motorrad Navig-
ator V and the BMW Motorrad
Navigator VI can be secured
against unauthorised use with a
four-digit PIN (Garmin Lock). If
this function is activated, while
the Navigator is cradled on
the vehicle and the ignition is
switched on you are prompted
to add the vehicle to the list
of secured vehicles. If you an-
swer "Yes" at this prompt, the
Navigator saves the VIN of this
vehicle in its internal memory.
A maximum of five VINs can be
saved in this way.
It is then no longer necessary
to enter the PIN when the
Navigator is switched on by
ignition ON on any of these
vehicles.
If the Navigator is removed
from the vehicle while switched
on, a security prompt is is-
sued asking for the PIN to be
entered.
Screen brightness
Screen brightness is adjusted
by the motorcycle while the
unit is cradled. Manual input is
not necessary.
Automatic setting can be
switched off in the display
settings for the Navigator if
desired.
