Emergency-Off Switch - BMW S 1000 RR Rider's Manual

EWS electronic immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronics
monitor the data stored in the
ignition key through a ring an-
tenna incorporated in the igni-
tion switch / steering lock. The
engine control unit does not
enable engine start until this
radio-operated key has been
recognized as "authorized" for
your motorcycle.
An additional ignition key
fastened to the same ring
as the ignition key used to start
the engine could "irritate" the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for an engine
start is not issued.
Always keep the ignition keys
separate from each other.
If you lose an ignition key, you
can have it disabled by your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad dealer.
For this purpose, you must
bring all of the motorcycle's
remaining ignition keys with
you. The engine can no longer
be started by a disabled vehicle
key; however, a disabled vehi-
cle key can be enabled again.
Spare keys are available
only through an authorized
BMW Motorrad dealer. The
vehicle keys are part of an
integrated safety system, so
the dealer is under obligation
to check the legitimacy of all
applications for spare keys.
